Hide a social security number in a PDF
Payslips, medical documents, administrative forms: many PDFs contain a social security or national ID number that the recipient doesn't need. To hide it for real, the text must be removed, not just covered. Until PDFly's Redact PDF tool launches (it will be free), printing the page, blacking out the number and scanning it back is a reliable fallback.

Coming soon — and free
This tool is in development. Like every PDFly tool, it will be free, with fair-use limits: files up to 50 MB and 20 operations per day, processed on our servers in the EU.
