PDF Tool →Frequently Asked Questions
Why redact instead of masking?
Real redaction deletes the underlying text. Masking with a black box leaves the data in the PDF — anyone with a code editor can recover it.
Will the running balance still match?
Yes — redaction only removes the account number string. Date, description, debit, credit, balance columns remain visible and arithmetic still verifies.
Should I also redact transaction descriptions?
Depends on the context. For a loan application, transactions are evidence of income. For rental verification, redact only sensitive merchants (medical, alcohol, gambling) if your privacy preference is high.
