Redact a PDF: found and blacked out.

Good to know
What it does, and what it doesn't.
01
It uploads
This runs on a server, so the file is uploaded to do it. It needs a sign-in and Cloud Pro; the result lands in your FyDrive.
02
Patterns only, for now
It finds the patterns you tick. Drawing your own boxes to redact isn't in the studio yet.
03
Check it
Look through the result before sending it on: pattern-finding can miss an unusual format.

Questions
Asked and answered.
Is it removed, or just covered?
Removed. Each page with a match is rebuilt as an image with the black bars baked in, so the hidden text isn't underneath. The trade: other text on those pages can't be selected any more.
Is it free?
No — this one runs on a server, so it's part of Cloud Pro (100 cloud runs a month, files up to 100 MB). The 20 browser operations are free.
Is my file uploaded?
Yes — to do the work on a server, after you sign in. The result is saved to your FyDrive, where you can delete it.
