Permanently remove confidential passages from a PDF before you share it, with the result read back and refused if anything survives. Works on scanned documents by removing the image pixels.
Every step hands identity, history and intent to the next one.
01 / Mark
Find every mention, not just the ones you spot.
Search the document for a name or a figure and mark every occurrence at once. On pages with no text layer the search reads the page image instead.
