Questions
Redact PDF FAQ
Is drawing a black box over text enough?
No. A visual overlay can leave the underlying content recoverable. Use the dedicated redaction action and verify the exported PDF.
Do I need to install software for Redact PDF?
No. TapScanner runs in a modern web browser, so you can upload, process, and download the result without installing desktop software.
