Redact PDF
True redaction for due diligence and external counsel copies: content is removed from the file itself, not hidden under a black rectangle anyone can peel off.

Is the redaction actually permanent?
Yes. Doclyx applies true redaction — the underlying text and image data is removed from the file, not covered by an annotation. Copy-paste and text extraction return nothing from redacted regions.
Can I redact a specific phrase everywhere it appears?
Yes — enter exact text and every match is redacted, optionally scoped to a page range like 2-3, 5, 8-12.
Is this suitable for legal or M&A documents?
That is exactly what it is built for — diligence redaction, privilege removal, and sanitizing documents before external sharing. Combined with zero file retention, sensitive content never persists on our side either.
Remove PDF Metadata
Strip hidden PDF metadata — author names, edit history, timestamps, embedded XML — that leaks deal context.
Password Protect PDF
Encrypt a PDF with bank-grade AES-256 so it only opens with your password.
Add Watermark to PDF
Add a diagonal text watermark to every page of a PDF — CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, or any custom text.
