Redact PDF
Mark the words, numbers or areas you want hidden by drawing boxes or finding text. The marked pages become pictures with those areas painted black, so what was underneath is gone from the file, not just covered.

Yes. Each page you mark is turned into a picture and the marked areas are painted black into its pixels, so the words under them are no longer in the file. A black rectangle drawn over text in other tools leaves the text underneath; this does not. Redaction works only on what you mark: a word you did not mark, on this page or another, stays. Check the PDF before you share it.
