Questions about removing PDF text

Is covering text with a white shape enough to remove it?
No. A visual cover can leave the original text in the file. The remove-text workflow attempts to remove supported text content and blocks export when that result cannot be verified reliably.
Can text be removed from a scanned PDF?
Not as text, because the words are pixels inside an image. A visual cover may hide them on the page, but that is not certified redaction.
Can I use this for confidential legal redaction?
Do not rely on it as a certified redaction process. Sensitive legal, medical, or regulated documents need a purpose-built workflow and an independent result check.
