How to Redact Personal Information

Courts require you to redact personal identifiers from filings. TextRedactorPDF makes it easy to mask common patterns and produce a PDF that lists what was removed.

When to use this

• You're filing exhibits that contain Social Security numbers, financial accounts, or contact info.
• You must produce redacted discovery while keeping an unredacted copy in-house.
• You want to quickly review what was masked before sending documents to clients or co-counsel.

How to do it (fast)

1. Paste the original text into TextRedactorPDF and turn on the relevant pattern toggles (emails, phone numbers, SSNs, credit cards).
2. Add a custom regex for unique identifiers like case numbers or internal IDs.
3. Verify the preview to ensure no sensitive information remains, adjusting mask style as needed.
4. Download the PDF and keep the unredacted original in your secure workspace.

Why this helps

• Redaction logs help you prove compliance with privacy rules.
• Running locally reduces the risk of third-party exposure.
• Mask styles let you choose between opaque blocks or context-friendly asterisks.
