[Redactable](https://www.g2.com/products/redactable/reviews) Redactable is a cloud-based document redaction tool that helps organizations efficiently and securely remove sensitive information from PDF documents. This AI-powered solution streamlines the redaction process, offering significant time savings and enhanced data protection compared to traditional manual methods. Designed for businesses, legal firms, government agencies, and any organization handling sensitive documents, Redactable addresses the challenges associated with conventional redaction techniques. It eliminates the risks of incomplete redaction often encountered with manual methods like using markers or basic PDF editing tools, which can leave sensitive data vulnerable to exposure. Redactable addresses two critical issues often overlooked in manual redaction processes. First, it solves the problem of incomplete data removal that occurs when using PDF markup software to place black boxes over sensitive information – a method that doesn't actually delete the underlying data. Second, while some PDF software allows for editing document content, they often neglect metadata removal. Redactable ensures both the visible content and hidden metadata are comprehensively redacted, providing a complete solution for document security. Key features of Redactable include: • AI-powered automated redaction for quick and accurate identification of sensitive information • Permanent redaction that ensures complete removal of sensitive data, unlike surface-level black box overlays • OCR technology for redacting scanned documents and image-based PDFs • Guaranteed metadata removal to prevent inadvertent data leaks • Integration with popular cloud storage services like Box and OneDrive for seamless workflow Redactable offers significant advantages over traditional redaction methods: 1. Time Efficiency: Users report up to 98% time savings compared to manual redaction processes, making it substantially faster than Adobe or other PDF editors. 2. Enhanced Security: Unlike manual redaction methods such as markers, or black boxes in pdf markup software, which can be reversed or seen through, Redactable provides permanent, irreversible redaction of sensitive information. 3. Compliance and Auditability: The platform generates redaction certificates, creating a clear audit trail of all redactions performed – a crucial feature for organizations subject to regulatory compliance. 4. Accessibility: As a browser-based solution, Redactable can be accessed from any device with an internet connection, eliminating the need for specialized software installation. 5. Versatility: The tool can handle various document types, including scanned documents, thanks to its built-in OCR capabilities. Organizations using Redactable can efficiently manage large-scale redaction projects, maintain document confidentiality, and ensure compliance with data protection regulations. Whether redacting a single PDF document or processing bulk files, Redactable provides a user-friendly interface that simplifies the entire redaction workflow. By automating the redaction process, Redactable not only saves time but also minimizes the risk of human error, providing a more reliable solution for protecting sensitive information in documents. This makes it an invaluable tool for industries dealing with confidential data, such as legal, healthcare, finance, and government sectors. **Average Rating:** 4.7/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 3 **How Do G2 Users Rate Redactable?** - **Document Management:** 10.0/10 (Category avg: 8.8/10) - **New PDF:** 10.0/10 (Category avg: 8.9/10) - **Editing History:** 10.0/10 (Category avg: 8.6/10) **Who Is the Company Behind Redactable?** - **Seller:** [Redactable](https://www.g2.com/sellers/redactable) - **Year Founded:** 2018 - **HQ Location:** New York, US - **Twitter:** @RedactableApp (247 Twitter followers) - **LinkedIn® Page:** https://www.linkedin.com/company/redactable/ (15 employees on LinkedIn®) **Who Uses This Product?** - **Company Size:** 67% Small-Business, 33% Mid-Market #### What Are Redactable's Pros and Cons? **Pros:** - Accuracy (2 reviews) - Document Management (2 reviews) - Ease of Use (2 reviews) - Search Functionality (2 reviews) - Affordable (1 reviews) **Cons:** - Document Management (2 reviews) - Inefficiency (1 reviews) - Limited Features (1 reviews) - Missing Features (1 reviews) - Slow Performance (1 reviews) ### What Do G2 Reviewers Say About Redactable? *AI-generated summary from verified user reviews* **Pros:** - Users value the **high accuracy** of Redactable, especially in detecting and redacting confidential information effectively. - Users appreciate the **efficient document redaction capabilities** of Redactable, enabling quick editing and information protection. - Users appreciate the **ease of use** of Redactable, enjoying its intuitive interface and convenient editing features. - Users love the **efficient search functionality** of Redactable, enabling quick redaction of sensitive information in documents. - Users love the **affordability** of Redactable, making document redaction incredibly cost-effective and accessible. **Cons:** - Users find it frustrating that Redactable's **document management** requires overlays instead of direct text updates, slowing down processes. - Users find the **batch processing inefficiency** frustrating, particularly when handling large volumes of documents. - Users find the **limited batch processing features** frustrating, especially when handling large volumes of documents. - Users find it frustrating that **Redactable lacks direct text editing features** , requiring cumbersome overlays for modifications. - Users experience **slow performance** when processing large batches of documents, making it time-consuming and inefficient. #### What Are Recent G2 Reviews of Redactable? **"[Mitigates risk of accidental exposure of confidential data](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/redactable-review-10259608)"** **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars *— Ayida G.* [Read full review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/redactable-review-10259608) --- **"[PDF Editing Tool That really works](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/redactable-review-10304651)"** **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars *— Bhavik C.* [Read full review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/redactable-review-10304651) --- ### 6.

PDFs, or portable document formats, are file types that cannot be edited; they are electronic images that look like printed documents but cannot be edited directly. For quick creation and editing, PDF editor software helps convert PDFs into live, editable documents, including .doc, .png, .jpg, and .xls.  PDF editors provide a wide variety of protective features. For example, users can password-protect PDFs, sign documents digitally, split and merge files, remove specific text areas, choose desired PDF sizes, etc. This is ideal for users who frequently work with PDF documents like contracts, legal documents, invoices, resumes, etc. In addition to password protection, users can add watermarks to PDFs to protect the copyright of the information in the PDF. PDF editors come with various other [data protection](https://learn.g2.com/data-protection) features that benefit professionals in an industry that encourages the safety of distributed information. Moreover, it provides tools to hide, remove, and prevent data from being exposed.  Redaction, password protection, and user restriction settings all help encourage the safety of PDFs. When using PDF editor software, professionals who handle sensitive documents can be fully prepared to manage and create them. PDF editor software benefits various users, including businesses that distribute physical copies, who often need to convert documents into digital versions. After a document is scanned, it can be manipulated and shared using PDF editor tools. PDF editors should not be confused with [file reader software](https://www.g2.com/categories/file-reader), which allows users to view any file type, including PDF files. Users who want to adjust the content in a PDF file require a PDF editor.  ### PDF editor features PDF editors come with many features related to editing and distributing a PDF: - [Optical character recognition (OCR)](https://www.g2.com/articles/ocr): One of the significant features of PDF editor software is the ability to turn the PDF into a document that can be edited. OCR scans the document and locates the text within it. Once the scan is complete, it allows the user to manipulate the text. This converts the image of text within the PDF into editable text that a user can edit. - Text boxes: Users can manipulate editable text after using the OCR feature. Size, color, and alignment are all common text adjustments that can be done on the platform. - Crop: The crop feature makes specific portions of the PDF smaller. The size and shape of the crop can be manipulated based on the user's needs. - Delete: The delete function enables users to remove a page from the document easily. - Watermarks: Watermarks are transparent images that users can include to indicate branding and ownership. It is one of the few security features that come with PDF editors since they protect the copyright of the PDF once a document is distributed. - Redaction: Redactions are another common security feature within PDF editor software. This tool allows users to remove sensitive information within the document, such as an entire area of text. In most cases, a redaction cannot be undone once it is made. - Password protection: Password protection guards the document from being edited by someone else, an essential feature for confidential files or files with sensitive information. For example, if someone downloads a PDF and opens it in their PDF editing tool, password protection prevents that user from making their edits. - Page merge: With the page merge function, users can combine multiple PDF pages into a single page. Also, PDFs can be opened from various sources and combined on the platform into a single PDF. Users can also use this tool to split merged pages apart with this tool. - Page rearrangement: This feature moves pages around so users can choose the order in which pages will appear in the document. Users can rotate a page or select several and rotate many pages at once. - Annotations: Annotations are notes that can be added to the PDF. Annotations are typically used to add a comment to a specific area of the PDF. They can also direct a client’s attention to a specific area of the PDF, such as a signature box. - [Electronic signature](https://learn.g2.com/digital-signature): This feature enables users to sign a PDF electronically. Clients and users, with permission, can view and sign a PDF digitally, commonly done with electronic proposals, contracts, or other types of client documents. ### Types of PDF editors - Basic PDF editors: These editors allow users to make basic changes to their PDFs, such as correcting typos, adding text, and deleting pages. They are suitable for simple tasks, but they may not be able to handle more complex editing needs.  - Advanced PDF editors: These editors offer more advanced features than basic editors, such as the ability to edit images and PDF forms, add headers and footers, and create bookmarks. They are a good option for users who need to do more than just make simple changes to their PDFs.  - PDF annotation software: This type of PDF editor software allows users to add comments and annotations to their PDFs. This can help users collaborate on documents or provide feedback. - Online PDF editors: Several online PDF editors allow users to edit their PDFs on web browsers without installing software. These are ideal if only a few changes need to be made to a PDF or if there isn't much storage space on the computer.  ### Benefits of using a PDF editor - Text and image manipulation: Unlike static PDFs, editors enable users to modify PDF text content, insert or delete images, and adjust layouts to tailor documents to their needs precisely. - Form creation and editing: PDF editors help create fillable forms directly within PDFs, eliminating the need for paper copies and manual data entry. Additionally, existing forms can also be edited and updated for optimal functionality. - Improved collaboration and workflow: PDF editors contain advanced annotation tools that add comments, highlights, underline text, and even draw directly on PDFs to facilitate effective feedback and document review. Some PDF editor software also allow multiple users to work on the same PDF document simultaneously. This can enhance team productivity and streamline editing processes. - Password protection and encryption: Users can easily secure sensitive documents with passwords and encryption algorithms to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy. They also allow users to add legally binding digital signatures to documents for authentication and tamper-proof verification. - Streamlined document management: A significant benefit of PDF editor software is that it reduces the file size of large PDFs without compromising quality. This helps optimize storage space and facilitate document sharing. Many editors seamlessly integrate with cloud storage services, document management systems, and other productivity tools for a streamlined workflow. ### PDF editor vs. PDF reader PDF readers are a type of digital viewer used for reading or research. They allow users to preview, open, zoom, scroll through web pages, and add essential markups or notes.  PDF readers usually offer basic functions such as text search, adding bookmarks, and printing documents.  Some advanced readers can enable digital signatures or limited annotation tools. PDF readers are best for students, professionals, or anyone who needs to access and read PDFs regularly. They are user-friendly and ideal for basic tasks without editing skills. On the other hand, PDF editors are powerful PDF word processors. They allow users to read and modify content. Users can edit text, add or delete images, reorder pages, create fillable forms, and even password-protect the document.  PDF editors offer a much more comprehensive range of features, including text editing, image editing, page management, form creation, password protection, and OCR to convert scanned PDFs into editable text. PDF editors are best suited for graphic designers, authors, editors, and anyone else who frequently works with editable documents in PDF format. ### Who uses PDF editing software? Any professional has a use case for a PDF editor since PDF is a standard file format used across all industries. However, some professionals may benefit from using PDF editors more than others. - Proposal and contract writers: Users who write proposals and contracts use PDF editor software to create password-protected files that can be distributed digitally. Agreements and proposals often require signatures; most PDF editors include a tool that makes fillable text boxes so clients can sign the PDF document electronically if necessary. - Lawyers: Lawyers use PDF editors to send confidential files to clients or other viewers to distribute legal documents that require electronic signatures. Lawyers may also redact sensitive information within legal documents using this software. - Human resources: HR departments, or departments that handle hiring, may use PDF editors to edit new hire contracts, legal documents about the employee, or other employment agreements. Similar to lawyers, they may also use PDF editor software to obtain an electronic signature from a new hire. ### PDF editor pricing The pricing models for PDF editing software vary depending on the features offered, target audience, and distribution method. Here is a breakdown of the most common ones: - One-time purchase: This is the most common model for basic and mid-range PDF editors. Here, users pay a fixed fee for a perpetual license to use the software on a single device or a limited number of devices. The price range of one-time purchases ranges between $20-$100. - Subscription: Subscription models are becoming increasingly popular, especially for advanced PDF editors and cloud-based solutions. Users must pay a monthly or annual fee to edit PDF documents and access the software and its features. The price range subscription models are between $5 and $50 per month or $50 and $500 per year. - Freemium: This model offers a limited free version of the software with basic features, while premium features require a paid subscription or one-time purchase. This model is popular for attracting new users and offering an idea of the software's capabilities. - Per-page/per-feature: This model charges users based on the number of pages they edit or the specific features they use. It is less commonly seen but suitable for occasional users or those needing specific functionalities. - Enterprise licensing: Some advanced PDF editors offer special pricing for businesses and organizations, often based on the number of users or required features. These can be customized to meet the organization's specific needs and are charged accordingly. ### Software and services related to PDF editor apps OCR and document scanning software integrate well with PDF editor software and are commonly used together. - [OCR software](https://www.g2.com/categories/ocr): While several PDF editor software have an in-built OCR feature, users may choose a tool that focuses solely on OCR capabilities for more text-heavy PDFs. - [Document scanning software](https://www.g2.com/categories/document-scanning): Document scanning software and PDF editors are commonly used alongside each other, especially for businesses that need to scan many physical documents. Document scanning software can upload files into PDFs, which can be edited within a PDF editor. - [Document creation software](https://www.g2.com/categories/document-creation): Document creation software focuses on creating text-based rather than PDF documents. However, many businesses commonly use document creation software to convert a text-based document into a PDF. The converted PDF can then be edited within a PDF editor. ### Challenges with PDF editing software - Compatibility: Not all editors are compatible with every PDF version and operating system. Opening a file created in a newer version with an older editor might lead to formatting issues or lost data.  - Editing and accessibility: PDFs with intricate layouts or nested elements can pose challenges for users with visual or cognitive disabilities. Maintaining intricate formatting, especially across different platforms and editors, can be challenging and require careful attention to detail. - Cost: Advanced editing features, security options, and other functionalities often have a heavy price tag. This can deter users on a tight budget. Moreover, while offering flexibility, some subscription models can add to the overall cost for users needing specific features only occasionally. - [Data breaches:](https://www.g2.com/articles/data-breach) Storing sensitive information within editable PDFs, even with password protection, carries inherent security risks in case of software vulnerabilities or hacking attempts. ### How to choose the best PDF editor Choosing the best PDF editor software depends on the organization's specific needs and budget. Here are some factors to consider: #### Identify business needs and priorities To gather requirements for PDF editor software, it is essential to identify the specific needs and objectives of the organization.

It is essential to consider the platforms in use before purchasing.  - Many PDF editors are available for Windows, including Adobe Acrobat Pro and Nitro Pro. - Fewer PDF editors are available for MacOS, but some popular options include Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, PDFpenPro, and Sejda PDF. - Several PDF editors, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader and Xodo, are also available for Android and iOS mobile devices. #### Conduct demos Buyers should also request demos from shortlisted PDF editor software providers to experience the software firsthand. They can utilize trial periods to test the software’s functionality and suitability for their business. Additionally, buyers should consider reading reviews from other users to get an idea of the pros and cons of different PDF editors. #### Final decision Before making the final decision, buyers must not forget to collect stakeholder feedback.

Cloud-based editors are accessible from any device with an internet connection, and they automatically save work, so users never have to worry about losing their data. #### AI-powered features [Artificial intelligence (AI)](https://www.g2.com/articles/what-is-artificial-intelligence) is powering several new intuitive features in PDF editor software, such as automatic document summarization, content extraction, and redaction.
