Yes. The whole document is rasterised: each page becomes an image with your black boxes burned in, so the covered content can’t be copied, searched or recovered from the file. The trade-off is that all text stops being selectable — this is real redaction by flattening, not a reversible black box drawn over live text.
Because a rectangle over live text is fake redaction — anyone can select or extract the text underneath. Flattening is the only way a browser-only tool can genuinely destroy the content.
