For full pdf editing capabilities (for example adding paragraphs of text, moving pictures around on a page etc) you need to get some fully blown pdf editing software like Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Acrobat Professional. You can edit text on rotated lines in the same way as on horizontal lines, and you can edit text using vertical fonts in the same way as text using horizontal fonts. The baseline offset or shift for vertical fonts is left and right, instead of up. Confirm redaction. Click the + to see all the parts to be redacted. You can redact everything on the list or manually scroll through the list and select what to redact. To redact partial words, select “Redaction Mark Options”, then “Mark Partial Word(s) for Redaction”.

Use the Redact tools to remove or redact sensitive images and text that are visible in a PDF. Use the Remove Hidden Information feature to find and remove hidden content from a PDF. For example, if you created the PDF, the document metadata normally lists your name as the author.

Redaction is the permanent deletion of data from
documents.

In the past, markers were used to black out information on documents.

These days, it simply doesn’t make sense to print out a document to redact it. The process is slow, expensive and inefficient.

Law firms, government agencies and corporations around the world rely on Adobe Acrobat to safely and permanently remove content from the data stream of documents.

Adobe first offered redaction tools starting with Acrobat 8 and redaction capabilities have continued to improve with each new release.

In Acrobat X Pro, several new Redaction features were introduced:

Repeat Redaction Mark across Pages
Useful for redacting headers and footers from documents
Right-click to apply Exemption Codes
Add case codes and privacy codes as overlay text to redaction marks.
Ability to apply multiple Exemption Codes
Multiple exemption codes may be listed as overlay text on a redaction mark
Partial Pattern Redaction
Use this feature to mark part of a pattern for redaction. For example, you could mark part of a Social Security Number or Credit card number. Useful for cases where you need to identify individuals in part of a case without revealing personal identifying information.
Set Appearance of Redaction Marks
You can now set the appearance of the Redaction marks during review. For example, you can mark items with a transparent red overlay if desired.
Overlay Text indicated in Comments List
You can now view overlay text in the Comment list for quick review.

So, you want to redact some documents. How do you get started?

To help, I bring you Guide to Using Redaction in Acrobat X Pro. This article is and update of my earlier article for Acrobat 9 and offers a step-by-step guide to using these tools in your firm or organization.

Using an Action to automate the redaction workflow

Getting Ready

Redactions must be carefully applied and managed. Here are a few tips to get ready:

Copy your “to be redacted” documents into a new folder on your hard drive
OCR the documents if necessary
Review the documents to get a sense of what needs to be redacted:
- Personal identifying information such as drivers license numbers, social security numbers, etc.
- Names of spouses, minors or others not associated with the case
- Trade secrets such as formulas, computer code, etc.

Suggested Redaction Workflow

Please review the following image below for a suggested workflow.

Step 1: Set Redaction Preferences

Automatically Copy Text into the Sticky Note for a Redaction

Redactions exist as a type of annotation until you apply them which permanently removes the information.

I suggest setting the the preference below to automatically copy text into the sticky note:

Choose Edit> Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat> Preferences (Mac)
Select the Commentingcategory from the list on the left.
Enable the check box labeled “Copy Selected Text into Highlight, Crossout, and Underline comment pop-ups
Click OK

When you select text using the Mark for Redaction tool, the text will automatically be copied into the sticky note:

Step 2: Redacting Text and Graphics

To redact information in Acrobat X Pro. . .

Open the Tools Panel
Twirl open the Protection section
Select Mark for Redaction

Pdfelement 6 Pro Serial

The tool you will use for almost all of your work is the Mark for Redaction tool.

Context Sensitive

The Mark for Redaction Tool cursor changes depending the content to be redacted.

To Redact Text

Select the Mark for Redaction tool
When you hover over text, the Mark for Redaction tool becomes a text selection cursor. Select the text to mark it for redaction.

Tip: Did you select too much?
Hit CTRL-Z to undo the redaction.

To Redact a Graphic or Image

Select the Mark for Redaction Tool
Place the cursor over an image or if no objects are present, across hair cursor (+) appears.
Draw a rectangular selection area to redact. Anything found within the area— images, text, vector objects— will be “cut out” and redacted.

Force an Area Redaction
Sometimes it can be difficult to select text properly. You can force Acrobat to present the crosshair for an area redaction by holding down the CTRL key.

Tip for Redacting an Image
You can select all of the pixels in an image for redaction by double-clicking on it with the crosshairs (+).

Previewing a Redaction

Using the Mark for Redaction tool, you may preview the redacted item.

Select the Mark for Redaction tool
Hover over a redaction mark to preview it

Changing the Appearance of Redactions

By default, redactions appear as solid black rectangles. The default appearance serves most folks just fine, but may be customized.

You may set a number of options such as…

Applied Redaction Color

Overlay Text

Text Color and Repeat

To change the properties of a Redaction mark

Select the Mark for Redaction tool
Hover over the redaction mark you wish to change
Right-click and choose Properties

The Redaction Properties window is straightforward. Options below are referred by number:

Set the color of the redaction here. You may also choose “no color” as an option.
You may have overlay text on top of the redaction.
Choose typeface for overlay text
Set font size for overlay text
Auto-size scales the text to fit the width of the redacted area
Enable to repeat the text over the redacted area
Set alignment of overlay text
Set color of overlay text
Enable and type in the text string to appear on top of the redaction
Exemption Codes will be listed here.
Note: You cannot type into this box, Enable it to apply an Exemption Code
Redaction Codes.
Redaction codes pre-defined sets of text used to denote the reason or statute under which the redaction was made. Acrobat Pro includes two pre-populated sets— U.S. FOIA (Freedom of Information Act)and U.S. Privacy Act. You can also create and save your own sets.
Set the outline color for the Redaction Mark.
