Why Manual Resume Editing Fails
Three Hidden Leaks That Expose Candidate Identity
Deleting a candidate's name on page one or drawing dark boxes in a basic PDF viewer regularly leaves enough hidden data for hiring managers to identify and contact candidates directly.
Selectable Text Under Black Boxes
Standard PDF markup tools place a dark rectangle annotation over existing text. Anyone viewing the resume can press Ctrl+A, copy, and paste the underlying phone number, email address, or LinkedIn URL into Notepad.
Unconsented Cloud CV Uploads
Uploading raw candidate CVs containing home addresses, salary details, or national IDs to free online PDF editors transfers personal data to third-party servers outside your GDPR / CCPA compliance boundary.
Recruiter Workflow
From Raw Resume to Branded Blind CV in Seconds
Preserve the candidate's original layout and visual polish without retyping resumes into rigid Word templates.
Auto-Scan Candidate Identifiers
Select your target countries (EU, NL, UK, US, DE, BE, FR) and enable CV-specific patterns. SanitizePDF highlights candidate header names, emails, phone numbers, street addresses, LinkedIn or portfolio URLs, and compensation figures.
- Fine-tune with click-and-drag manual boxes
- Single-click any auto-detected box to keep it visible
Stamp Custom Agency Branding
Configure your agency's PNG or JPG logo, page-one header banner text (for example, candidate reference codes), and diagonal confidentiality watermarks once in Settings. Toggle them per document with a single checkbox.
- Logo assets stay strictly in local browser storage
- Clean top-left header stamp
Export Flattened Single or Batch PDFs
Every page renders onto an offscreen 300 DPI HTML5 canvas, burns redactions into pixels, strips Author/Creator metadata, and builds a clean PDF. On Pro, drop an entire shortlist into the Batch Queue to download a single ZIP archive.
- Zero underlying text layer left to copy or scrape
- Optional Gmail & Outlook attachment guard (Pro)
