Redact sensitive information
Prevent the disclosure of privileged or confidential information with a reliable redaction tool. Permanently and irreversibly remove sensitive information such as personal data, bank account numbers, etc., from a PDF, including body text, headers and footers, comments, and metadata. Search through and redact either single keywords or a predefined list of keywords throughout the whole document within seconds.
Remove hidden data
Mitigate the risk of unintentionally sharing confidential information in a PDF by removing hidden objects and data with one click. You can remove text layers added by OCR, comments and annotations, attachments, bookmarks, metadata, links, media, actions, scripts, and form data.
Apply password protection
Manage access to PDF content with different levels of password protection that restricts either opening the document itself or taking actions with its content such as printing, editing, or extracting information.
Certify with digital signatures
Sign PDFs with a digital signature certificate. In addition to a digital signature, you can create and insert a facsimile of your handwritten signature. Verify digital signatures in a PDF to ensure their authenticity and integrity.
