PDF Redactor
Redact PDFs offline, one-time purchase
PDF Redactor blacks out content in PDF documents on iPhone. Tap to redact text, or draw black boxes over any area and move, resize or remove them before exporting. A detection feature suggests potentially sensitive items such as email addresses, phone numbers, addresses and dates; you review the suggestions and decide what gets redacted.
PDFs can be opened straight from the iOS Share menu and shared afterwards. The export is a flattened PDF where, according to the developer, the covered text is not preserved as a removable text layer; your original file stays unchanged. Processing happens on device, with no account, no uploads and no internet connection required. The app is English-only and built for iPhone.
Why no subscription? A one-time $1.99 and that’s it. A small, fully offline utility has no ongoing server cost to justify recurring fees.
