How to use: Find and Redact Sensitive Data
The PDF is searched for Emirates ID numbers (with check-digit validation), passport numbers and IBANs, plus any other text you type. Nothing is removed until you approve it. Approved items are blacked out and removed from the text, page content, metadata, bookmarks and form fields, and the saved file is checked before you can download it.

Frequently asked questions
Is a black box enough?
