The Redaction
tools let you permanently remove (redact) visible text and images from
PDFs. 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
or phrases, use the Search And Redact tool  instead.
