PDF PII Scanner

Scan a PDF for likely personal information and generate a findings report.

Scans a PDF's searchable text for likely emails, phone numbers, payment card numbers, US Social Security Numbers, and IP addresses, then produces a findings report. This tool only detects and reports - it never redacts, deletes, or modifies the source PDF.

Simple workflow

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload

    Add one or more PDFs with a searchable text layer - each scans automatically and opens as its own tab.

  2. 2

    Review

    See each finding highlighted on the page, and Accept, Ignore, or mark False Positive per finding.

  3. 3

    Report

    Download Report applies your choices and gets you a findings report with masked values - never the full sensitive data.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tool redact the information it finds?

No. It only detects and reports likely PII in a findings report - the source PDF is never redacted, modified, or altered in any way.
