PDF Redaction — Frequently asked questions
Is PDF Redaction free for doctors?
Yes. Patient files are processed in the moment and deleted — never retained. There is no signup, no trial and no watermark on your files.
What kind of files can doctors use PDF Redaction for?
PDF Redaction works with the documents doctors handle every day — patient records, lab reports, referral letters, scan and imaging reports, prescriptions and consent forms. A common case: Merging lab results, imaging and notes into one referral packet for a specialist.
Is the redacted text truly removed?
Yes. Redaction removes the underlying content — not just a black box you can copy behind.
Can redacted information be recovered?
No. Once redacted and downloaded, the removed content cannot be retrieved from the file.
How do I permanently delete sensitive info from a PDF?
Mark the sensitive text or area, apply redaction, and download a file with that information fully removed — not just hidden.
What is the difference between redaction and a black box?
A black box can be removed or copied behind. Redaction here deletes the underlying data so no trace remains.
Can I use it to hide ID numbers or bank accounts?
Yes. Ideal for removing ID numbers, bank accounts and names before sharing contracts and official documents.
Does the rest of the document stay intact?
Yes. Only what you marked is removed; the rest of the content and formatting stays unchanged.
