How it works · Auto-detect
Auto-detectAutomatically find six common formats.
When you open a PDF, Excise looks for Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, IBANs, email addresses, phone numbers, and dates.
The six
| Format | How it is checked | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Credit card | Number pattern and Luhn check | On |
| IBAN | IBAN format and standard checksum | On |
| Social Security number | Standard format and invalid-range checks | On |
| Email address | Email address pattern | On |
| Phone number | Phone number pattern | On |
| Date | Date pattern | Off, to reduce common matches |
Excise shows what it found and asks whether you want to add those findings to your review.
You are not limited to one search. Add several of your own terms, accept any suggested formats that apply, and review the combined matches as one redaction job.
Excise PDF is available for Windows, Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
