Redact personal data in a PDF

Before publishing or sharing a document, the GDPR principle of data minimisation often means removing names, addresses or identifiers. Be careful: drawing a black box over text in a PDF editor often leaves the text underneath, still copyable. Real redaction deletes it. PDFly's Redact PDF tool is in development and will be free.
