Create a redacted PDF (Pro Only)

By Cynthia, 29 November, 2025

The Foxit PDF Editor plugin in Microsoft Word, PPT and Excel also enables users to quickly create a redacted PDF, which can be encrypted into an MIP-protected PDF as well. For a redacted and MIP-protected PDF, authorized users are granted access to view the full document while unauthorized users are only able to view the redacted document. PDF redaction permanently removes visible text and images from PDF documents to protect confidential information. This feature allows for improved sharing of non-sensitive information within a protected document.

To create a redacted PDF or a redacted and MIP-protected PDF, do the following:

  1. Click Mark for Redaction in the Foxit PDF tab and select the text you want to redact.
  2. Click the Create Redacted button and choose Standard Redaction to create a redacted PDF document, or choose RMS Redaction to create a redacted and MIP-protected PDF document. 
  3. Then enter the file name, specify the location, and click Save. 

For more detailed information about redaction and MIP integration, please refer to Redaction and Template Creation and Editing.
