Interactive toolbar redaction in React PDF Viewer

Redact content with the toolbar

Manually mark sensitive text, images, or selected document regions for redaction using the toolbar. Manual redaction is suitable when sensitive content needs individual review before permanent removal.

Text search-based redaction

Search and redact matching text

Text search finds and highlights every occurrence of a searched term for review and manual redaction. Repeated matches can be reviewed across multiple pages before sensitive content is marked for removal.

Page-level redaction

Redact entire pages and ranges

Entire pages or selected page ranges can be removed, with options to target the current page, odd pages, or even pages. Page-level redaction is suitable when a complete page or document section needs permanent removal.

AI-assisted redaction

Detect sensitive data with AI

AI Assist identifies sensitive information by evaluating content meaning and surrounding text, then highlights suggested matches for review. Contextual analysis is suitable when sensitive information needs to be identified from meaning or surrounding context in addition to exact terms.

Context menu redaction

Redact text using the context menu

Redact selected content directly using the context menu during document review without interrupting review flow. Use when sensitive content is discovered while reading.
