Preview can handle many PDF tasks.
But when you only want to redact a document, a focused workflow is easier:
open the PDF,
mark the sensitive areas,
review the page,
save a redacted copy.
PDF Redact Pro is built around that one job.
Focused redaction workflow
A redaction task is usually not about editing the whole PDF.
It is about hiding the parts that should not be visible before the document is shared.
Names.
Addresses.
Account numbers.
Signatures.
Internal notes.
Confidential paragraphs.
Details in scanned pages.
PDF Redact Pro keeps the workflow direct: select the areas, apply redaction, and export a clean copy.
Why not just Preview?
Preview is great as a general PDF viewer and quick annotation tool.
PDF Redact Pro is made for users who want a dedicated redaction app with a clearer, more focused workflow.
Just a local Mac app for redacting visible information from PDF files.
