Search for phrases and black them out
Redact PDF searches the document for matching text and applies black redaction boxes wherever those matches appear. This is useful for repeated names, account references, or internal labels that should be removed.
The tool works best on searchable PDFs with selectable text. Image-only scans may need OCR before text matches can be found reliably.
