I built EmbedPDF: an MIT-licensed, open-source PDF viewer that aims to match all of Adobe Acrobat’s paid features… for free.

Hi HN, I built RedactMyPDF.com after struggling to manually redact a large legal PDF, and I found that existing tools were either expensive or clunky. RedactMyPDF uses AI (Gemini) + OCR + human review to make redaction fast but safe: Auto-detects sensitive info based on document context (names, addresses, IDs, etc.) Full control to accept, reject, or add redactions Works on scanned PDFs (OCR with Tesseract) Secure & GDPR-compliant (AES-256, EU storage, one-click deletion) Irreversible blackouts + metadata removal Audit logs (CSV export for compliance) Try it here: www.redactmypdf.com Thanks!
