PDF Redaction SDK

Secure, permanent PDF redaction in your app

Redact sensitive, confidential, and privileged information. Comply with GDPR and other privacy laws by permanently removing personally identifiable information (PII) from PDF documents.

How it works

Permanent data removal

Redaction in PDFs is a two-stage process.

step 1

Use the intuitive UI to select text, images, or patterns. Or, leverage the API to automatically identify sensitive data (e.g. credit cards, email addresses).

Step 2

Confirm and permanently remove the marked data from the document, ensuring it can never be recovered.

Redaction that fits your process

Manual redaction

Give users a hands-on approach to selecting and applying redactions with a clear, confirmation-based UI.

Semi-automated workflow

Utilize powerful search patterns and regex through the Search API to identify sensitive content with precision.

Fully automated batch redaction

Scale up redaction for large datasets using automation to handle high-volume documents effortlessly.
