Redaction is a daily process for organizations that
manage classified, sensitive or private information.
Failures in redaction can be costly, as many
government agencies, corporations, law-firms and
others have learned to their chagrin.

Appligent invented PDF redaction in 1997 with Redax.
Redax completely removes text and graphics from the
page. Hacking the file cannot reveal properly
redacted information.

Now at version 4.6.1, Redax remains the most
reliable and capable redaction technology for PDF
files available.

Thousands of national, state and local government
agencies, law firms, corporations and institutions
world-wide protect the sensitive information in
distributable documents with Redax everyday.

While Adobe includes basic redaction in Adobe
Acrobat, it's not as full featured or
workflow-friendly as Redax.

Redax requires an existing installation of Adobe
Acrobat Standard or Professional 6, 7, 8 or 9. The
installer adds a comprehensive set of redaction
tools to the Adobe Acrobat menu bar. Redax will NOT
work with the free Adobe Reader.
