Questions about Automatically Detect & Redact Sensitive Data

How is your redaction different from drawing a black box?

Pages containing redactions are rasterised to an image with the boxes permanently burned in, then re-embedded. The original text objects are discarded entirely, so nothing can be selected, searched, copied or recovered.

What does Smart Redaction detect?

It scans the text layer for Aadhaar numbers, PAN numbers, card numbers, IFSC codes, email addresses, phone numbers, US SSNs and dates of birth, plus any custom words you add. Pattern matching is reliable for structured data but cannot recognise names or addresses, so always verify the output before sharing.
