Could you build this?

Partial Standard regex and LLM-based redaction are accessible, but high-accuracy PII redaction across scanned PDFs, complex document parsing, coordinate-accurate blackouts, and deterministic reversible tokenization require robust document processing infrastructure.

What it would actually take: Needs a backend utilizing high-performance OCR (Tesseract or AWS Textract), layout analysis engines, and specialized NLP NER models (like Presidio/spaCy) alongside regex engines with checksum validation (e.g., Luhn algorithm, IBAN checks). Redacting visually on PDFs requires direct PDF coordinate manipulation (PyMuPDF/PDFNet) to completely scrub underlying metadata rather than just painting over pixels.
