Redaction

Redaction permanently removes parts of text or images from a PDF file, and replaces them with black

rectangles. This lets you remove sensitive information from a paragraph, table, heading, or a bitmap

image. The rest of the document is unaffected, and can be viewed and printed normally.

Redaction is a two-step process — mark areas for redaction, and then apply redactions:

1. Select images, words, paragraphs, or pages, and apply redaction-marks. Redaction marks for text

and images are non-destructive. They indicate which parts of the PDF document are selected for

redaction.

2. When you are satisfied that all your redaction marks are suitably placed, and you want to

permanently remove content marked for redaction, then you apply redactions.

NOTE: Redaction marks, images, and pages are removed permanently as soon as you apply redactions.

Undo (Ctrl+Z) cannot restore redacted content after you Apply Redactions.

Redactions are not saved to the PDF document until you save the PDF file. If you apply an unwanted

redaction, close the file immediately without saving, and re-open it.

When you save a PDF file with redactions, you are advised to use a different file name, and indicate that

redactions are applied. Nitro Pro 9 prompts you to append _redacted to the file name.

Redaction affects text and images on the content layer only. Therefore, if you want to remove an

annotation or vector graphics, right-click it, and select Delete from the menu.

For more information, see Annotation layer and content layer.

Redaction does not remove metadata from your PDF document.

For more information, see Remove metadata.
