How to permanently redact?

Post by Cynthia Moore »

How can I permanently redact an area of a PDF so that the redacted area is removed from document and not just blotted out? I don't want anyone I might send the redacted document to to be able to un-redact it.

Hello Cynthia Moore,

You will need the redaction tool that we offer:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgeba ... -Redaction

Please make sure you also got through bookmarks and document metadata as those might still contain some info that you have removed from the pages.

Kind regards,
Stefan
