FAQ

Can I redact different terms in the same document?
Yes — search and redact one term, then search again for the next. Each Redact All is added to your undo history.
How is this different from Adobe's Smart Redact?
Adobe's pattern-based redaction requires Acrobat Pro ($19.99/month). PDFAmend's Find & Redact works on any PDF with selectable text for $2.99 per download.
