Frequently Asked Questions

Are redacted contents recoverable?

No, the redactions created with this tool are drawn as solid, vector-level rectangular objects directly onto the page stream. This means the visual regions are permanently covered before saving, preventing simple overlay inspection or highlighting text underneath.

What metadata fields can I view and modify?

You can view and customize standard Document Title, Creator Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator application, and Producer systems. In addition, deep system stats like page count, creation, and last modified dates are fully queried and presented.

Is my document private?

Absolutely. All inspection metrics and coordinate masking layouts are compiled strictly within client thread RAM. No document bytes are ever sent over network nodes, ensuring extreme compliance and confidentiality.
