Redact a PDF with Cloak
Review Cloak's detected identifiers, add boxes for missed content and download the redacted PDF.
Source reviewed Product documentation
Open the tool and choose a PDF. Cloak shows Detected groups for the identifiers it found. Turn a group on or off, then inspect the masks on every page. Automatic names are recognised where they appear in a labelled field; a name in a letterhead or paragraph may need a manual mask.
Use Hide more to click a word, drag across a line, or choose Draw a freeform box for content the detector missed. Click a hidden box again to undo it. Read the page around each mask so you do not remove figures the recipient needs.
Under Style, choose pattern, blackout or label, then Download redacted PDF. The downloaded name ends in .redacted.pdf. Cloak also offers Download detections JSON; that export omits the matched source text but should still be handled as a record of where identifiers appeared.
Review the downloaded file
Open the PDF you downloaded and inspect every page before sharing it. Automatic detection has limits; the page preview and your manual masks are part of the review, not a guarantee that every identifier was found.
