Redacting PDFs
May 22, 2006
I received a phone call today from a client who is concerned about redaction in PDFs. He wanted to know what tools were available to reliably redact PDFs, and if there were certain processes he and his staff should be aware of. I pointed him to:
- Planet PDF – PDF security: Redaction and third party tools
- Adobe Acrobat – Redaction of Confidential Information in a Document
- PDF for Lawyers – PDF Redaction — some Q&A
- NSA – Redacting With Confidence: How to Safely Publish Sanitized Reports Converted from Word to PDF
Fundamentally, don’t think that just because you can’t see digital information, it isn’t there. It will be discovered and used by someone else.
