Frequently Asked Questions
- Does the redaction completely erase the original text?
- Redaction alone leaves the underlying text data in the file. To remove it entirely, chain the tools: after redacting, run PDF to Image then Image to PDF. This rasterizes every page into pure images so no extractable text data remains — you can do this in one go using the chain button.
- Does it comply with corporate security policies?
- All processing stays in your browser with no external server communication. Since you don't upload confidential files to any third-party service, it fits well within strict corporate policies.
- Does it work with scanned document PDFs?
- Yes. PDF Markup works on scanned image-based PDFs as well.
