Redacting Account Numbers from Shared Financial Documents
When sharing bank statements or financial reports externally, account numbers and sensitive identifiers must be redacted. Manual blacking out is error-prone and reversible in some PDF viewers.
Workflow
- Open the financial document in PDF format
- Use the PDF Watermark tool to add a 'CONFIDENTIAL' overlay on all pages
- Use image-based redaction by converting sensitive pages to images with the PDF to Image tool
- Edit the images using the Image Cropper to remove sections with account details
- Convert the redacted images back to PDF using Image to PDF
- Merge redacted and unredacted pages back into a complete document
