Case Study: Top University achieves faster grading and safer student data with Foxit Software's PDF Editor and Smart Redact

How a Top University Transformed PDF Submissions with AI-Powered Redaction

Foxit partnered with a prestigious, tech-forward university that was struggling with inconsistent PDF submissions, time-consuming manual redaction of personally identifiable information, and extra formatting work inside its LMS (Canvas). Faculty were spending excessive time on administrative review to meet privacy standards, creating delays in grading and added IT support burdens.

By implementing Foxit PDF Editor+ with AI-powered Smart Redact and Canvas integration, the university automated detection and removal of PII, standardized file handling, and trained staff for quick adoption. The result: faster assignment processing, fewer IT requests, reduced faculty redaction workload, improved data protection, and higher student confidence in submission security.
