PDF Redaction Tool

Draw boxes over the parts you need to hide. Those pages are rebuilt as images, so the covered text is not still sitting underneath. Delete the original file afterwards.

Questions

Is the text only hidden?

On a marked page, no. That page is replaced by a picture with the boxes burned in. Unmarked pages are copied as they were.

Can I redact 100 pages at once?

Redrawing stops at 40 pages. Split the document first.
