Protecting and Polishing PDFs Before You Share Them

A PDF that's about to be shared, filed, or printed deserves one more pass — for what's in it, how big it is, and how it looks.

Before it goes out

Redact PDF permanently blacks out sensitive content — names, account numbers, anything that shouldn't be visible to whoever receives the file next. Unlike drawing a box over text in a viewer, redaction here actually removes the underlying content.

Keeping it manageable

Large PDFs are a pain to email. Compress PDF shrinks a file by recompressing its embedded images, often cutting the size dramatically with no visible quality loss.

A professional finish

Add page numbers to a long report with PDF Page Numbers, or stamp a text watermark — "Draft," "Confidential," a company name — across every page with PDF Watermark.

Four tools, one goal: a PDF that's safe, small, and looks finished by the time it lands in someone else's inbox.
