You need to apply redactions after marking the text, graphics, or pages you want to redact. To apply redactions, do the following:
- Select Protect > Mark for Redaction > Apply Redactions to redact all of the marked content in the document. You can also do this by right-clicking the marked content and choosing Apply or Apply All to redact either the selected content or all of the marked content in the document.
- A dialog box pops up with a warning message asking you to confirm the action. The dialog box also provides an option to remove hidden information from the document simultaneously. If you want to remove hidden information, select the option, and then click the OK button to apply redactions. Note: It is recommended that you save a backup copy of this document before you apply the redaction.
When you save the document after applying redactions, you can save the redacted file automatically as a new file with the preconfigured filename. To configure the filename, please select Adjust filename when saving applied redaction marks and input text in the Prefix and Suffix boxes in File > Preferences > Documents > Redaction.
