Automated redaction and leak checks — not a compliance certificate. A human must still review the exported pages.
Review first, export second
True removal with an independent second check
- Add one PDF.Use a static PDF up to 50 MB and 250 pages. Encrypted, damaged and active portfolio files are blocked.
- Review local suggestions.Native text and local OCR can suggest e-mail, phone, IBAN, payment-card and labelled identifier locations. Suggestions are never selected silently or lost when filters change.
- Mark anything else.Draw manual rectangles or enter an exact search term. Every page and rectangle remains editable before confirmation.
- Confirm the exact input hash and final job.The source hash, rectangles, terms and sanitation settings are locked together. A separate dialog shows cost, timing, retention, outputs and boundary before any export is queued.
- Rewrite and verify.Content is removed, hidden data is stripped, qpdf rewrites the file and a separate checker reopens both the PDF and evidence package.
What the leak checker covers
Selected values and fillsConfirmed values are absent from extracted text and common decoded object encodings; every applied region renders opaque black.
Hidden document dataMetadata, attachments, comments, forms, bookmarks and optional layers are absent from a verified result.
Active behaviourLinks, JavaScript and automatic actions are blocked from the output.
Old revisions and packageNo incremental chain remains, and every ZIP member is checked against manifest bytes and SHA-256.
What still needs a person
No pattern engine can know every confidential fact or whether context reveals the same information. Handwriting, images, OCR errors and the legal basis for sharing always need human review.
Which PDFs are accepted?
One static PDF up to 50 MB and 250 pages. Encrypted files, damaged files and active PDF portfolios are blocked before processing starts.
Why is a black overlay unsafe?
It can cover pixels while leaving the original text, object stream or an earlier revision recoverable. This tool applies PDF redaction and writes a new file.
Are suggestions applied automatically?
No. Every suggested or manual region must be confirmed by you. Low-confidence OCR stays visibly marked instead of being treated as certain.
Is the original included in the download?
No. The sharing package deliberately contains only the redacted PDF and the verification evidence.
What does a verified export mean?
All listed deterministic technical checks passed. It does not prove that every sensitive fact was selected, nor that sharing the file is legally permitted.
