A common catastrophic mistake is simply drawing a black rectangle over sensitive text in a PDF editor. This does NOT delete the text; it just hides it. Our offline scanner warns you if your "redacted" document still contains interactive hidden layers that could be copy-pasted by a bad actor.

Frequently Asked Questions
The tool provides heuristic warnings if it detects un-flattened interactive layers or form-field masks. It cannot guarantee all base-layer text is destroyed. Always use a dedicated redaction tool (which permanently destroys the underlying text objects) rather than drawing shapes.
