Why redact or remove sensitive content?

Before you distribute a PDF, you may want to examine the document for sensitive content or private information that can trace the document to you. 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. You may also want to remove content that can inadvertently change and modify the document’s appearance. JavaScript, actions, and form fields are types of content that are subject to change.

Redact sensitive content (Acrobat Pro)

Redaction is the process of permanently removing visible text and graphics from a document. You use the Redact tools to remove content. In place of the removed items, you can have redaction marks that appear as colored boxes, or you can leave the area blank. You can specify custom text or redaction codes to appear over the redaction marks.

Note:

If you want to locate and remove specific words, characters, or phrases, use the Find Text tool  instead.
