New! Redact Sensitive Information from PDFs

Permanently remove sensitive data from PDFs with AI-powered redaction.

We’re excited to announce a powerful new capability in pdfAssistant: you can now redact sensitive information from your PDFs with precision and ease. This new feature makes it simple to safeguard confidential data, protect privacy, and stay compliant with data protection regulations—all through a conversational, AI-driven workflow.

Why Redacting PDFs Matters

PDFs often contain personal details, financial records, or proprietary information that cannot be exposed. Manual redaction is slow, error-prone, and risky. With pdfAssistant, you can rely on automated redaction technology powered by Adobe to ensure sensitive content is permanently removed—not just hidden. The process includes advanced data sanitization, guaranteeing the information is unrecoverable.

Key Benefits

Our new redaction feature is designed for accuracy and flexibility:

  • Targeted Redaction – Remove exact matches, custom patterns, or keywords across documents using Literal or Regex matching.
  • Automatic Presets – Instantly identify and redact common sensitive data like email addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, and US SSNs using built-in presets.
  • Compliance Ready – Meet stringent data protection laws like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA with secure and reliable redaction.
  • Permanent Protection – Ensure redacted content is completely sanitized and unrecoverable, backed by trusted Adobe technology.
  • Automated Workflows – Redact at scale across large document sets with AI-driven efficiency.

Transforming Workflows with Redaction

The Redact PDF capability enables teams in every industry to handle sensitive content responsibly:

  • Legal Teams – Protect client names, case details, and privileged information in filings.
  • Healthcare Providers – Secure patient data (PHI) for HIPAA compliance.
  • Finance & Insurance – Remove account numbers, SSNs, and sensitive identifiers from records.
  • Enterprises – Automate redaction across contracts, reports, and archives at scale.

With pdfAssistant, organizations gain peace of mind knowing their documents are processed with trusted technology, delivering accurate, compliant, and permanent redactions every time.
