🆕 What's New in v2.79

• Page-specific Rules — apply different redaction settings to selected pages while keeping the rest of the document on the main profile
• Page-specific Draw Areas — create manual draw regions that stay only on the current page instead of repeating across the whole PDF
• Advanced RegEx Workflows — build custom pattern-based redactions, target selected areas, and send selected text or areas directly into the RegEx workflow
• Improved RegEx area redaction — better handling of custom patterns, selected zones, and rule-based workflows
• Improved currency detection — detect and redact currency amounts, financial values, and currency codes more accurately
• Object Inspector and Safe Delete improvements — inspect visible PDF objects and safely remove selected annotations or objects when needed
• Updated in-app Help page with clearer explanations for page-specific rules, RegEx workflows, draw areas, and batch processing
• Stability improvements and refined redaction engine

OCR for scanned PDFs is fully supported — create searchable PDF copies from scanned files, then redact them using the same tools used for regular text-based PDFs.

Supported OCR languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese.

🔍 Smart Redaction Tools

PDF Redactor Pro detects and redacts:

• Personal data (PII): emails, phone numbers, SSNs, credit card numbers, dates
• Financial information: currency amounts and financial figures
• Text and phrases: exact phrase search, keywords, multi-line text
• Custom formats: regular expressions for IDs, case numbers, references, account numbers and more
• Contextual content: text near specific keywords — values next to labels, blocks near headings
• Document objects: images, headers, footers, tables, PDF stamp annotations
• Faces: automatic face detection with blur, pixelate, or solid mask
• Address blocks: automatic detection and redaction of full postal addresses
• Page-specific content: apply different rules or manual draw areas only to selected pages

🖱️ Manual and Automatic Workflow

• Use automatic detection when you need speed
• Use manual redaction when you need precise control
• Use page-specific draw areas when only certain pages need custom manual redaction
• Combine both: auto-detect, then manually adjust or add areas before applying

⚙️ Page-specific Rules and Draw Areas

PDF files often contain different layouts on different pages: invoices, forms, cover pages, tables, signatures, scanned pages, appendices, and attachments may all require different redaction settings.

PDF Redactor Pro v2.79 allows you to use page-specific rules for selected pages.

You can apply separate settings for:

• PII detection
• Face detection
• Address block detection
• Search and text-based redaction
• RegEx rules
• Currency detection
• Object inspection
• Manual draw areas

Pages without saved page-specific rules continue to use the main redaction profile.

This gives you more control without creating separate projects or splitting the PDF manually.

🔣 Advanced RegEx Workflows

PDF Redactor Pro includes advanced RegEx tools for users who need custom redaction patterns.

Use RegEx workflows to redact:

• Case numbers
• Account numbers
• Reference IDs
• Invoice numbers
• Order numbers
• Internal codes
• Custom business formats
• Structured text patterns

You can also use RegEx area redaction to focus pattern matching on selected zones of the document, helping reduce false matches and improve precision.

📦 Batch Processing

• PDF Redactor Pro is designed for real document workflows, not just single-file editing.
• Process multiple PDFs in a single run using reusable templates and consistent settings.
• One-by-one review mode is also available when you want to inspect each file before saving.

📋 Reusable Templates

• Save your redaction settings as templates and load them later.

This is useful for repeated document types such as invoices, purchase orders, forms, statements, reports and client files.
