PDF Architect has a Redaction tool. This will permanently delete information from your document. It’s the digital equivalent of redacting physical documents.
PDF Architect provides two ways you can redact your files:
With manual redaction, you will choose where it is applied.
The area that will be redacted will be outlined in red. This outlined area is “marked” for redaction.
Once applied, you can resize it or change it in Edit mode. If an error was made, you can delete the marked area and reapply it.
You can apply multiple areas for redaction. The create option remains active until you choose to turn it off or activate another feature.
You will see a pop-up advising you that PDF Architect will now save your document. If you proceed, any information will be permanently removed.
Your document will now be redacted.
You can search for specific keywords and redact them in bulk.
You can also get there from the search feature.
The selected text will be marked for redaction.
You will see a pop-up advising you that redaction will permanently remove the information from your document.
Your redaction will be applied.
We have two additional modules. The OCR module allows you to recognize and edit text within any scanned document or image. We also have the E-Sign module that allows you to electronically sign PDFs and track and manage e-signatures in real time. If those modules are not available for you, you can purchase them here.
