document itself and are fully standards-compliant,
meaning you can edit them with Adobe Acrobat too.
Redaction Tool
The Redaction tool enables secure
and irrecoverable removal of sensitive,
confidential, or privileged text from
PDF documents.
The redaction remains an annotation
until it is committed. This means
you can change its style, as well as
add comments and a state, which
simplifies the review process.
You’ll also notice that, once a redaction
is created, a red rectangle shows up at
the bottom-right corner of the screen
— this is where the redaction can be
previewed or permanently applied.
Redaction Tool
The Redaction tool can be found in the annotation toolbar, and it is
used like any other text selection-based tool. You simply select the
text to redact, and it gets annotated as a pending redaction.
