Before you attach a PDF to an AI assistant or forward it externally, redact the sensitive content inside. Names, account numbers, signatures, contract terms — cover what shouldn't travel. Then clear the hidden document properties too.
Free browser-local PDF privacy tools. Draw redaction boxes over sensitive content and download a clean copy — everything runs in your browser. Pair with Metadata Remover when document properties like author, creator, or timestamps also need clearing.
