About Redact PDF

Redact PDF is built for people who need to hide personal data before filing or emailing a PDF. Each request becomes a queued job with validated uploads, temporary object storage, and a time-limited download URL. When a conversion provider is not configured yet, the page still ships full SEO content and the API returns an honest NOT_ENABLED result instead of a fake file. True redaction removes underlying text; until that engine lands, status stays honest.
