Redaction preview
Drag boxes over details
Choose a PDF, then drag boxes over sensitive areas.
Redaction disclaimer
PDFAdjust adds a safety margin around each box, flattens the downloaded PDF into lossless image-based pages, and removes the embedded text layer. OCR can still read text left visible outside the covered area. You are responsible for checking the downloaded file and confirming that every sensitive detail is fully covered before sharing it.
PDFAdjust is not responsible for loss caused by details left visible or shared unchecked.
About this tool
When to use it
Prepare a copy of a document with selected details hidden before you share it. Cover each sensitive area on every affected page.
What you get
The download flattens pages into images with the covered areas applied and no original selectable text layer. The source file remains separate.
Before sharing
Inspect the actual downloaded PDF at full size. Text left visible outside a covered area can still be read by a person or new OCR, so check every page before sharing.
