Redaction, not whiteout

Use Redaction to remove sensitive content. Redacted exports are new, image-based PDF pages without the original selectable text. OCR and pattern detection can miss content, so check coverage before exporting. Studio whiteout and text replacement are visual edits, not secure redaction.

Encrypted packages

Encryption creates an AES-GCM protected .peach package, not a password-protected PDF. Open the package in PeachSoft to recover its original bytes. Keep the password: there is no account recovery service.

Visual signatures

Drawn, typed and uploaded signatures are visual marks. They do not verify signer identity or create certificate-backed digital signatures. The appended record records the export method, time and original document hash.

Keep your originals

Exports are separate copies. Some exports flatten form fields, links and signatures. Store the original PDF and optional Project JSON backup separately from the edited copy.
