Show HN: Free PDF redactor that runs client-side
I recently needed to verify past employment and to do so I was going to upload paystubs from a previous employer, however I didn't want to share my salary in that role. I did a quick search online and most sites required sign-up or weren't clear about document privacy. I conceded and signed up for a free trial of Adobe Acrobat so I could use their PDF redaction feature. I figured there should be a dead simple way of doing this that's private, so I decided to create it myself.
What this does is rasterize each page to an image with your redactions burned in, then it rebuilds the PDF so the text layer is permanently destroyed and not just covered up and easily retrievable.
I welcome any and all feedback as this is my first live tool, thanks!
