Redact Text

Using the Redact feature, you can select a block of text and replace it with a black rectangle. This option removes the text completely from the document. The visual effect is the same as if, in a hard-copy page, the redacted text is blacked out with permanent marker.

1. Open your PDF document.
2. Switch to Edit Mode. To do so: click the  icon on the toolbar.
   - OR -
   Right-click on the document and select Edit from the right-click menu.


3. Drag cursor over the text you want to redact to select it.
   
   Note: Redacting text is a permanent action upon saving the document. If you change your mind after making a redaction, close the document without saving the changes, re-open it, and start over.
    
4. Right-click over selected text and choose Edit and then Redact from the right-click menu.
5. A unmovable black box will appear where the text was.
6. Choose next to Close to exit out of Edit Mode.
