Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
Can I redact multiple areas on different PDF pages?
Yes. Choose a page and draw areas on its preview, or add precise coordinates. Repeat across pages for up to 50 areas, then create the redacted PDF.
Does covering PDF regions remove the original text layer?
Matrix rasterizes every page after covering your selected areas, removing the original selectable text layer and interactive content in the output. Open the downloaded file and inspect every page before sharing.
