Redact PDF Cluster

Legal Document Redaction — Secure & Compliant

Attorney-client PDFs should not visit a random cloud redactor. Instant Redact runs on the paralegal’s machine. Permanent text removal beats a rectangle that fails forensic review. For large productions, pattern search, and privilege logs, use the suite your firm already licensed — then use this for a one-off exhibit you must sanitize tonight.

Privilege, local bytes, honest limits

Uploading a client PDF to a consumer converter is how privilege arguments get ugly. We never receive the file. We also do not certify that a given jurisdiction will accept browser redaction for a public docket. Verify output. When in doubt, Acrobat Pro or a dedicated legal tool.

Docket vs everyday

Public filings have local rules. Everyday opposing-counsel emails often need a fast, true strip. Know which job you are in.

GDPR copies

Local processing avoids appointing us as a processor of the PDF. You still decide what must be removed before the data subject sees other people’s data.

What we refuse to fake

No “AI found all SSNs” promise. No OCR of scans. No server-side privilege review.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open the filing locally

    Zero cloud transmission of exhibits.

  2. 2

    Box privileged and PII fields

    Strip underlying text. Walk exhibits too.

  3. 3

    Export and forensic-check

    Search and copy-paste test. Batch Premium for volume.

Use cases

Public docket prep

When rules allow image/text redaction on a PDF you control. Confirm locally.

Discovery snippets

A handful of pages, not a 50,000-page production.

Regulatory submissions

Sanitize without a consumer cloud retention story.

Trust & privacy

Zero-knowledge

We never see client bytes.

Permanent flatten
