How to redact a PDF

How to use it in TooloraHUB

1. Open Redact PDF and upload the PDF that contains sensitive text.
2. Enter the word, phrase, or pattern you want to redact from the output.
3. Run the tool and let TooloraHUB produce the sanitized PDF.
4. Download the result and test search on the redacted term to confirm the content is no longer exposed.

Supported inputs and outputs

• Input: A PDF file that contains the sensitive text you want removed.
• Input: A clear target string or pattern for the redaction step.
• Output: A redacted PDF with the targeted content removed from the output.
• Output: A safer sharing copy for downstream review or delivery.

Tips and best practices

• Always verify the redacted file, not just the settings you entered.
• Search the output for the original term after download to confirm the content is gone.
• Keep the original secure copy separately if internal policy requires the unredacted document to remain on record.
• Add protection after redaction if the resulting file should also have controlled access.

Common problems and fixes

The visible block is there, but I need to be sure the text is gone Test the output by searching for the original term. The verification step matters as much as the visual appearance.

The redaction target appears in more places than expected Use a precise pattern and review the full output carefully so you do not miss duplicates or unintended matches.
