Redact

Hide sensitive details before you share a page. The cover is burned into a new copy, and the hidden text is removed too, so it cannot be peeled off or searched.

  1. Open the document

    Open it and tap Redact.

  2. Cover an area

    Choose Black box or Blur box and drag on the page. Drag a box to move it; Undo and Remove fix mistakes.

  3. Or find text

    Tap Find text, type a number or a name, and tap Cover all — e.g. Covered 4 matches on 2 pages.

  4. Save

    Tap Save. A new document named Redacted … is created; the original stays untouched in your library.

Tips

  • Share the redacted copy, not the original — check the name before sending.
Free or Pro? This is a Pro tool. It is included while you add your first 20 pages, so you can try it on a real document; after that it needs Lifetime Pro ($7.99 once, no subscription).
