Search Text in PDF. Search and Redact

The search tool is one of pdfFiller’s the latest enhancements. Using this tool, you can find a word or a phrase in a PDF document. Now you can save even more time editing or annotating your PDFs because our search tool not only finds words, but also enables you to erase, highlight, and redact them. To activate the Search tool, click the Search button on the main toolbar or press CTRL+F on your keyboard.

The search toolbar will appear under the editing tools.

Type the text you want to find in the search field. The counter will show you the total number of search terms found in the document and the ordinal number of the current search term. The currently selected term is highlighted in green, the others in red.

To jump to the next search term, click the down arrow; to go to the previous instance, click the up arrow. To redact the selected search term, click Blackout.

Since this was my first experience using this app. I found it to be very user friendly. I am sure it will be simpler with additional experience. With the second use, this app. is very user friendly.

Quite good!Only after I finished, did I see that the date next to my signature at the bottom was misaligned and printing over some text on the form. So, I had to go back to edit that. Very helpful tool, though!

Did you know?

Blue beam Rev extreme includes powerful redaction capabilities for removing text and images from documents. There are two steps to redact a PDF file: First, select the areas to be redacted, and then apply the redaction to remove the text. Redaction cannot be used on a PDF that has been digitally signed or certified.

Content that is not completely redacted can potentially be findable in search engines. It's critical that the information is removed completely from the file before that file is made public. Google Search lists images that it finds across the web, both those that are on web pages or those embedded into document formats.
