DocMint
Black out text in a PDF so it is really gone.
A black box drawn over a name in a PDF hides nothing: the text is still underneath, and anyone can copy it out. DocMint removes it.
Available on the App Store and Google Play

Overview
What DocMint does

Redact For Real
- Mark names, account numbers, addresses or prices on a PDF
- DocMint rebuilds the page and saves a new PDF: the covered text, the old text layer and the metadata are left out
- On scans, black boxes are burned into the page and the recognized text under them is deleted
Scan Paper To Pdf
- The document camera finds the edges and straightens each page
- Crop, rotate, reorder, duplicate and delete pages; clean them up with color, grayscale or black-and-white filters
- Import photos, image files and PDFs, or send them to DocMint from other apps
- On-device text recognition makes your PDFs searchable
Sign And Fill Out Forms
- Draw your signature once and place it on any page
- Type names and dates, and tick checkboxes right on the form
- Highlight, add notes, arrows, shapes and stamps
Share It Your Way
- PDF in Letter, A4 or the original size, in three quality levels
- Merge documents, split them or pull out a single page
- Add page numbers, or share JPEG pages or plain text
- Start a scan from a Home Screen widget, Control Center or Siri

FAQ
Common questions
How do I redact a PDF on iPhone?
Open the PDF in DocMint, mark the names, numbers or other text you want gone, and export. DocMint saves a new PDF in which the covered text, the old text layer and the metadata are left out.
Is a black box over text enough?
No. A box drawn over text in a normal PDF editor only covers it: the text is still underneath and can be copied out. DocMint removes the text under the box.
Can I scan paper to PDF?
Yes. The document camera finds the edges and straightens each page, and on-device text recognition makes the PDF searchable.
Can I sign and fill in forms?
Yes. Draw your signature once and place it on any page, type names and dates, and tick checkboxes on the form.
Does DocMint upload my documents?
No. There is no account and no sign-up. Your documents stay on your device; DocMint never uploads them, their text or their file names.
Is DocMint free?
Scanning, importing, editing pages, text recognition, signing, forms, blacking out parts of a scan, merging and splitting are free, up to 20 pages per document, with 3 exports without the DocMint mark. DocMint Pro, a one-time Lifetime purchase or a monthly plan, adds redacted copies of existing PDFs, exports without the mark and no page limit.
