How does the PDF PII Detector work?
Extract every page of a PDF as text and run regex patterns to detect common PII: US-format Social Security Numbers (NNN-NN-NNNN), credit-card numbers (with Luhn check), email addresses, and US/international phone numbers. The report masks the matches before display so you can share the report itself without leaking the PII. Use this as a first-pass before sending a document externally — combine with Permanent Redaction to actually remove what was found.
