RedactFirst: PDF redaction with six checks
A PDF tool that helps reviewers redact sensitive information from documents and scans, then verify a saved copy.
- For
- People handling sensitive PDFs, scans, or document productions
- Worth noticing
- A passing copy is saved with a JSON report, after the app reopens it and runs six listed checks.
Field notes
The workflow accepts PDFs, scans, or folders, proposes matches for named data types and custom word lists, then lets the reviewer approve, ignore, or redraw each box. The page says redacted pages are rebuilt as images while untouched pages retain selectable text; it also describes checks against file objects, hidden content, revisions, and pixels beneath each box. A passing copy is paired with a JSON report. The site lists purchase, license-check, error-reporting, and optional rule-update connections while saying document data is not sent.
