Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about privacy, security, file limits, and usage.

Drawing a black box simply overlays a colored shape on top of the text; the original text glyphs still exist in the PDF byte stream and can be selected, copied with Ctrl+C, or extracted by search engines. True Redaction physically destroys and burns the underlying text stream operators, ensuring the data is mathematically unrecoverable.
Our client-side scanner parses the document text stream in memory and runs regex pattern matchers for Social Security Numbers and credit card numbers. Credit card candidates are mathematically validated against the Luhn algorithm to prevent false positives. You can review all detected matches and redact them with one click.
Yes. Our deep sanitizer purges the entire Document Information Dictionary (Author, Creator, Producer, CreationDate, and ModDate), deletes embedded XMP XML metadata packets, strips page thumbnails (/Thumb), and removes structural tags to eliminate forensic traces.
No. Our engine flattens redacted sections and purges the raw glyph coordinates. Because the original characters are permanently removed from the compiled binary before export, no forensic utility, hex editor, or screen reader can retrieve the erased data.
Yes. By executing true cryptographic redaction combined with zero cloud network transmission, Multinook meets the rigorous redaction requirements of federal court e-filing systems (FRCP Rule 5.2), HIPAA health record de-identification, and GDPR privacy mandates.

The High Cost of Fake Redactions in Modern Legal History

In numerous high-profile judicial cases and corporate disclosures, sensitive trade secrets, confidential witness names, and classified records have leaked because attorneys and administrative teams used basic software to draw black visual boxes over sensitive words. Anyone opening the resulting document could simply drag a cursor over the black block, press Ctrl+C, and paste the sensitive text into any text editor.

Our True Redaction engine guarantees complete physical glyph destruction. In-memory content stream parsers detect every character object residing within your specified redaction coordinates, unlink the text drawing operators (Tj and TJ), and substitute flattened rasterized blackout geometry. The original characters cease to exist inside the file, rendering recovery mathematically impossible.

Automated PII Algorithmic Detection & Deep Metadata Stripping

Manually reviewing 100-page discovery documents for personal identifiable information (PII) is time-consuming and prone to human oversight. Multinook integrates client-side regex analyzers powered by the Luhn validation algorithm to automatically locate 16-digit credit card sequences, Social Security Numbers, and email addresses.

Simultaneously, our forensic sanitizer wipes the document's hidden metadata layer. Hidden author names, creation software footprints, GPS geotags from embedded scans, and XMP XML revision history logs are permanently purged from the binary array before the finalized PDF is saved to your disk.
