Arcobat Pro - Text Redaction CHALLENGE!

Help
1

Hi, I need to automate a text redaction (masking) process to conceal information within a PDF.

Within Acrobat Pro, there is a function to mask over information so that it can never been seen again. This is important in the legal fields. More info on PDF redaction is here>> Removing sensitive content from PDFs in Adobe Acrobat

The problem I have is when I record the redaction process, the selector has difficulty focusing on text within the PDF, instead it selects the whole page. How can I narrow my selection to the text I want to redact only?

Thank you so much to whomever accepts this challenge.

Nic

This might be fixed in 17.1 beta version. Could you give it a try?

Check message. If you’re on CE you should already have it.

You can do one thing, masking of pdf we can do with vb. Net or c#.net with the help of acrobat DC or itextsharp respectively. So can create a custom activity in. Net and the same you can use in your project… And the best way is to use JavaScript in Adobe Acrobat DC tool
