Questions
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. RedactKit reads, renders and rebuilds the PDF inside your browser tab. The file never leaves your device. The only thing sent to our server is a credit check, for documents over 5 pages, carrying your key and a fingerprint of the file (a hash, not the file).
Why are redacted pages turned into images?
Because it is the simplest way to be sure nothing is left. A black box drawn on a PDF is usually just a shape on top of the text, and the text is still there to copy. RedactKit re-draws each redacted page as a picture with the bars painted on, and leaves the original page out of the new file.
What happens to pages with no redactions?
They are copied across with their text selectable and searchable. Comments, form fields and links that jump to another page are removed from them, so nothing on a kept page can point back to a redacted one; form values are printed into the page first where possible. Web links stay. Tick 'Rebuild every page as an image' if you want the whole document flattened.
Will it find text in a scanned PDF?
No. A scanned page is already a picture with no text layer, so search finds nothing on it. RedactKit tells you which pages have no text, and you can draw boxes on them by hand.
What counts as a document for credits?
One PDF, any number of pages. Exporting the same file again (say, after adding a box you missed) is free. Documents up to 5 pages never use a credit.
Does it remove metadata?
Yes. Every export drops the document information (title, author, creator software, dates), the XMP metadata record, page-level metadata, bookmarks, attachments and form scripts. The Metadata tab shows what is in a file before you clean it.
