The same three steps work whether you want to remove a single word, delete a full paragraph, or erase an entire block of text. RedaktPDF targets the exact text element you click — nothing else is touched.
The words are used interchangeably, but the tools behave differently. Here is how to pick the right one.
Physically strips a text element from the PDF content stream. The text is gone — it will not show up in any PDF viewer, will not be found by text search, and cannot be copy-pasted back. Best for fixing typos, removing outdated information, or cleaning up imported documents.
Draws a filled rectangle over the area you want to hide. The underlying content is covered, not removed from the file. Whiteout works on scanned PDFs where Remove Text cannot find individual text elements, and is faster when you need to hide a large region at once. Open the Whiteout tool →
A stricter form of whiteout used to permanently hide sensitive data — names, account numbers, medical details — from documents that need to be shared or filed. Use redaction when you need a compliance-grade audit trail. Open the Redaction tool →
