Risks / Avoid
- Drawing black boxes over text — text remains selectable underneath
- Forgetting metadata — author names, revision history, comments
- Missing repeated data in headers/footers across pages
- Using image overlays that can be removed in Photoshop
Best Practices
- Pixel-burn redaction that destroys underlying data
- AI detection for PII patterns across all pages
- Verification after redacting — try to select/copy/search
- Metadata sanitization as part of the redaction workflow
