VARAKHow to Redact a PDF Securely
Why drawing a black box is not the same as removing sensitive information.
The short answer
Visual covering can leave the underlying PDF content intact. Secure redaction requires removing the marked text, image or graphics content and then saving the redacted result.
How VARAK approaches it
VARAK’s support documentation states that applying redactions removes marked text, images and graphics from the file. Users should still review the saved result before sharing.
What to verify before sharing the result
PDF workflows can affect layout, fonts, recognition and document integrity. Review the saved file against the original, especially when the document contains financial, legal or identity information.
