Add redactions to a file

You can redact sections or entire pages of a file and thus make them invisible to the user. In contrast to the colored annotation that you place above a text area, the redacted text passages cannot be made visible again by PDF viewers via copy and paste.

 

In the menu above the file, click the “Redactions” tab and open the associated menu.

Use the recycling bin icon to delete the redaction.
