You can edit and redact PDFs with Google’s PDF editor.
Redact & delete PDFs

To fully redact a text, use a dedicated redaction tool, like Adobe. Learn how to remove sensitive content from PDFs.
Tips: Prevent data leaks from bookmark titles.
- When you delete pages in the ChromeOS Gallery app PDF editor, the corresponding bookmarks that link to the deleted pages remain intact.
- If the titles of those PDF bookmarks contain sensitive info, deleting the corresponding pages won’t remove that info.
- You can’t use ChromeOS Gallery to edit PDF bookmarks, so you can’t change titles or targets, or delete or add bookmarks.
