Before you begin

We're rolling out a new, more intuitive product experience. If the screen shown here doesn’t match your product interface, select help for your current experience.

In the new experience, the tools appear on the left side of the screen.

Why redact or remove sensitive content?

Before you distribute a PDF, you may want to examine the document for sensitive content or private information that can trace the document to you. Use the Redact a PDF tool to remove or redact sensitive images and text visible in a PDF.

Use the Sanitize and remove hidden information feature to find and remove hidden content from a PDF. For example, if you created the PDF, the document metadata normally lists your name as the author. You may also want to remove content that can inadvertently change and modify the document’s appearance. JavaScript, actions, and form fields are types of content that are subject to change.

Remove sensitive content and hidden data from your PDFs in a few simple steps.

Redact sensitive content (Acrobat Pro)

Redaction is permanently removing visible text and graphics from a document. You use the Redact a PDF tool to remove content. In place of the removed items, you can have redaction marks that appear as colored boxes or leave the area blank. You can specify custom text or redaction codes to appear over the redaction marks.

Piezīme.

If you want to locate and remove specific words, characters, or phrases, use the Find text or tools  instead.

Redact sensitive content
Text marked for redaction (left), and redacted (right)

  1. Open the PDF in Acrobat, and from the global bar, select All tools > Redact a PDF.

    The Redact a PDF tools appear on the left pane.

  2. (Optional) To set the appearance of redaction marks, select Set properties in the Redact toolset in the left pane. (See Change the look of redaction markers.)

    Redaction properties

  3. Mark items you want to remove by doing any of the following:
    • Double-click to select a word or image.
    • Drag to select a line, block of text, object, or area.
    Piezīme.

    To preview how your redaction marks appear, hold the pointer over the marked area.

  4. To apply multiple code entries to a single redaction, right-click a redaction mark and select an option. For more information, see Apply multiple code entries to a redaction.

  5. (Optional) To repeat a redaction mark, right-click it and choose Repeat mark across pages. This feature is convenient if a particular header, footer, or watermark appears in the same location on many pages.

  6. When you have finished marking the items you want to redact, select Apply to remove the items. Alternatively, you can Save the document and then choose Apply & Save.

  7. In the Apply Redactions dialog, choose if you want to Sanitize and remove hidden information by selecting the toggle button and then selecting Continue.

    The items aren’t permanently removed from the document until you save it.

  8. The Save As dialog is displayed. Specify a filename and location. The suffix “_Redacted” is appended to the filename. If you don’t want to overwrite the original file, save the file with a different name, at a different location, or both.

Search and redact text (Acrobat Pro)

Use the Find text or tools tool to find and remove words or phrases in one or more PDFs that contain searchable text.

Piezīme.

The Find Text tool doesn’t search secured (encrypted) PDFs.

  1. Open the PDF in Acrobat, and from the global bar, select All tools > Redact a PDF.

    The Redact a PDF tools appear on the left pane.

  2. Select Find text and redact, and then choose OK on the message dialog that appears.

    Find text and redact
    Find text and redact

  3. In the Search dialog box,  specify if you want to search the current PDF or all PDFs in another location.

  4. Do one of the following:
    • To search for only one word or phrase, choose Single word or phrase and type the word or phrase in the text field.
    • To search for multiple words, select Multiple words or phrase, and then click Select words. Type each word in the New word or phrase text field and select Add. You can also import a text file with the list of words or phrases to search for.
    • To search for a pattern (for example, phone numbers, credit card numbers, email addresses, social security numbers, or dates), click Patterns. Choose one of the available patterns. You can change the language version of the patterns. (See Select a different language version for patterns.)
  5. Select Search & Remove Text.

  6. In the search results, click the plus sign (+) next to the document name to see all occurrences of the word or phrase. Then, select the occurrences you want to mark for redaction:
    • To select all occurrences in the list, select Check All.
    • To select individual occurrences, select the checkbox for each one you want to redact. Select the text next to a checkbox to view the occurrence on the page.
    • To mark none of the occurrences, close the Search dialog box or select New Search to start over.
    • Select the option under Redaction Mark Options to mark whole words or partial words (characters) for redaction. For partial words, select Mark Partial Word(s) For Redaction, the Settings dialog box appears. In the Settings dialog box, specify the number and location of the characters for redaction. Character redaction is helpful if you’re searching for a pattern, like credit card numbers, and want to leave part of the number visible for identification purposes.
  7. If you selected occurrences that you want to mark for redaction, click Mark Checked Results For Redaction.

    The items you selected in the list are shown marked for redaction.

    Piezīme.

    If you haven’t saved the file, you can select redaction marks in the document and press Delete to remove the redaction mark. The redaction marks become permanent after you save the file.

  8. To remove the marked items, select Apply on the left pane.

  9. In the Apply redactions dialog, choose if you want to Sanitize and remove hidden information by selecting the toggle button, and then select Continue.

    Apply redactions

    The items aren’t permanently removed from the document until you save it.

  10. The Save As dialog is displayed. Specify a filename and location. The suffix “_Redacted” is appended to the filename. If you don’t want to overwrite the original file, save the file with a different name, at a different location, or both.

Find and redact hidden content (Acrobat Pro)

Use the Remove Hidden Information feature to find and remove content from a document that you don’t want, such as hidden text, metadata, comments, and attachments. When you remove items, additional items are automatically removed from the document. Items that are removed include digital signatures, document information added by third-party plug-ins and applications, and special features that enable Adobe Reader users to review, sign, and fill PDF documents.

Piezīme.

To examine every PDF for hidden content before you close it or send it in email, specify that option in the Documents preferences using the Preferences dialog box.

  1. Open the PDF in Acrobat, and from the global bar, select All tools > Redact a PDF.

    The Redact a PDF tools appear on the left pane.

  2. Select Sanitize document. In the Sanitize Document dialog, to remove hidden information, select Selectively remove.

    Click here, to remove hidden information

    If items are found, they are listed in the Remove Hidden Information panel with a selected check box beside each item.

  3. Make sure that the check boxes are selected only for the items that you want to remove from the document. (See Remove Hidden Information options.)
  4. Select Remove to delete selected items from the file and select OK.

  5. Choose File (macOS) or go to the hamburger menu  (Windows) > Save, and specify a filename and location. If you don’t want to overwrite the original file, save the file with a different name, at a different location, or both.

The selected content is permanently removed when you save the file. If you close the file without saving it, repeat this process, making sure to save the file.

Redact Hidden Information options

Metadata

Metadata includes information about the document and its contents, such as the author’s name, keywords, and copyright information. To view metadata, choose File > Document Properties (macOS) or hamburger menu  > Document Properties (Windows).

File attachments

Files of any format can be attached to the PDF as an attachment. To view attachments, choose View > Show/Hide > Side panels > Attachments (macOS), or hamburger menu > View > Show/Hide > Side panels > Attachments (Windows).

Bookmarks

Bookmarks are links with representational text that open specific pages in the PDF. To view bookmarks, choose View > Show/Hide > Side Panels > Bookmarks (macOS), or hamburger menu  > View > Show/Hide > Side panels > Bookmarks (Windows).

Comments and markups

This item includes all comments added to the PDF using the comment and markup tool, including files attached as comments. To view comments, select the Comments icon on the right pane.

Form fields

This item includes Form Fields (including Signature fields) and all Actions and calculations associated with form fields. If you remove this item, all form fields are flattened and can no longer be filled out, edited, or signed.

Hidden text

This item indicates text in the PDF that is either transparent, covered by other content, or the same color as the background.

Hidden layers

PDFs can contain multiple layers that can be shown or hidden. Removing hidden layers removes these layers from the PDF and flattens the remaining layers into a single layer. To view layers, choose View > Show/Hide > Side Panels > Layers (macOS) or hamburger menu > View > Show/Hide > Side panels > Layers (Windows).

Embedded search index

An embedded search index speeds up searches in the PDF file. To determine if the PDF contains a search index, go to Acrobat All Tools > Add search index and select Manage embedded index in the left pane. Removing indexes decreases file size but increases search time for the PDF.

Deleted or cropped content

PDFs sometimes retain content that has been removed and is no longer visible, such as cropped or deleted pages or deleted images.

Links, actions, and JavaScripts

This item includes web links, actions added by the Actions wizard, and JavaScripts throughout the document.

Overlapping objects

This item includes objects that overlap one another. The objects can be images (composed of pixels), vector graphics (composed of paths), gradients, or patterns.

Sanitize document (Acrobat Pro)

Sanitize documents removes all sensitive information, hidden or not, from your document so that the information is not passed along when you publish your PDF.

It removes:

  • Metadata
  • Embedded content and attached files
  • Scripts
  • Hidden layers
  • Embedded search indexes
  • Stored form data
  • Review and comment data
  • Comments hidden within the body of the PDF file
  • Hidden data from the previous document saves
  • Obscured text and images
  • Unreferenced data
  • Links, actions, and javascripts
  • Overlapping objects
  1. Open the PDF in Acrobat, and from the global bar do any of the following:

    • Choose Edit Redact a PDF.
    • Select All tools > Redact a PDF.

    The Redact a PDF toolset is open on the left pane.

  2. Select Sanitize document. The Sanitize document dialog box is displayed.

  3. Select Remove all. Specify a filename and location. If you don't want to overwrite the original file, save the file with a different name, at a different location, or both.

  4. Select Save to save the document and automatically finish the sanitization process.

The sensitive information is permanently removed when you save the file. If you close the file without saving it, repeat this process, making sure to save the file.

Select a different language version for patterns (Acrobat Pro)

  1. Select the hamburger menu  > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat > Preferences (macOS).

  2. From the Categories on the left, select Documents.

  3. In the Redaction area, choose a language from the Choose localization for search & remove text patterns menu. Then select OK.

Change the look of redaction marks (Acrobat Pro)

By default, thin red outlines appear around images and text you mark for redaction, and black boxes appear in place of redacted images and text. You can set the default appearance of redaction marks before you mark items for redaction. You can also change the look of redaction marks before you apply the redactions.

Set the default look of all marks

  1. Open the PDF in Acrobat, and from the global bar do any of the following:

    • Choose Edit Redact a PDF.
    • Select All tools > Redact a PDF.

    The Redact a PDF toolset is open on the left pane.

  2. Select Set Properties. The Redaction Tool Properties dialog box is displayed.

    Redaction properties

  3. On the Appearance tab, select the options you want to change, and then select OK:

    • Click the Redacted Area Fill Color icon and select a fill color from the color palette for the boxes that replace removed items. Choose No Color to leave the redacted area blank.
    • Select Use Overlay Text to select the custom text or redaction code options. Select the font, size, and text alignment.
    • Select Custom Text, and type the text to appear in the redacted area.
    • Select Redaction Code, and then either select a code within an existing set or select Edit Code to define a new code set or a new code. (See Create redaction codes and code sets.)
    • In the Redaction Mark Appearance area, select the Outline Color icon, Fill Color icon or both. Select a color from the color palette for the images and text you mark for redaction. Move the slider to adjust the opacity of the color. Choose No Color to leave the selected area blank.

Properties for redaction text (Acrobat Pro)

Custom Text

Displays text you type into the Custom Text option over the redaction mark.

Font

Displays custom text in the selected font.

Font Size

Displays custom text in the selected point size.

Auto-Size Text To Fit Redaction Region

Resizes custom text to fit within the redacted area. When selected, this option overrides the Font Size setting for the overlay text.

Font Color

Displays custom text in the selected color, which you can change by clicking the color swatch.

Repeat Overlay Text

Fills the redacted area with as many instances of the custom text as needed, without changing the font size. For example, if you specify the letter x or a hyphen (-) as the custom text, these characters are repeated throughout the redacted area.

Text Alignment

Aligns text to the left, right, or center.

Redaction codes (Acrobat Pro)

Acrobat uses overlay text to overprint areas selected for redaction. One example of overlay text is a redaction code, which consists of one or more code entries from a code set. Acrobat includes the U.S. FOIA and U.S. Privacy Act code sets that you can use. You can use either codes or custom text to create overlay text. The difference is that redaction codes are text entries that you can save, export, and import. One code set can contain multiple codes.

Piezīme.

Codes don’t save the current attributes for overlay text as part of the code definition, such as colors, font characteristics, and repetition or size of text. Codes only make the overlay text itself reusable in future sessions and by other users with whom you share code sets. You set other attributes for the code in the Redaction Tool Properties dialog box.

Create redaction codes and code sets

  1. Open the PDF in Acrobat, and from the global bar do any of the following:

    • Choose Edit Redact a PDF.
    • Select All tools > Redact a PDF.

    The Redact a PDF toolset is open on the left pane.

  2. Select Set Properties. The Redaction Tool Properties dialog box is displayed.

    Redaction Tool Properties in Acrobat
    Create redaction codes using the Redaction Tool Properties dialog box.

  3. Select Use Overlay Text.

  4. Select Redaction Code.

    • To add multiple code entries to a redaction code, select an entry from the Code Entries list and select Add Selected Entry. Repeat as desired. Select Remove Selected Entry to delete a code entry in the Redaction Code list.
    • Select Edit Codes to make additional changes.
  5. In the Redaction Code Editor dialog box, select Add Set.

  6. (Optional) Type a new name for the set in the text field below the list of code sets, and then select Rename Set.

  7. Select Add Code, type the text that you want to appear as overlay text in the text field below the list of code entries and then select Rename Code.

  8. Repeat the previous step to add another code entry to that code set, or repeat the previous three steps to create additional code sets and codes.

Edit redaction codes and code sets (Acrobat Pro)

  1. Open the PDF in Acrobat, and from the global bar do any of the following:

    • Choose Edit Redact a PDF.
    • Select All tools > Redact a PDF.

  2. Select Set Properties. The Redaction Tool Properties dialog box is displayed.

  3. Select Use Overlay Text, and then select Redaction Code.

  4. Select a code set from the list on the left, and select Edit Codes.

  5. In the Redaction Code Editor dialog box, do any of the following:

    • To remove a code set and all of the code entries within it, select an entry from the Code Set and select Remove Set.
    • To export a code set to a separate XML file that you can reuse in other PDFs or share with others, select the code set. Then select Export Set, specify a filename and location, and select Save.
    • To import a previously saved code set, select Import Set, locate and select that file, and select Open.
    • To rename a code set, select an entry from the Code Set, type a new name in the box below the list, and select Rename Set.
  6. With the Code Set selected, select the code entry that you want to edit, and do one of the following:

    • To remove a code entry, select Remove Code.
    • To rename a code entry, type a new name in the box below the list and select Rename Code.

Apply multiple code entries to a single redaction

  1. Right-click the redaction marker.

  2. Select a Code Set from the list at the bottom of the context menu, and then select a code entry from the drop-down menu. A check mark appears next to the code entry when the code is applied.

  3. Repeat the previous steps to add another code entry to the redaction.

Hold your pointer over the redaction mark to see the code entries, each one separated by a comma.

Piezīme.

To apply the same code to multiple redactions, set the redaction properties before you mark the content. In the secondary toolbar, click Properties. Select Use Overlay Text, then select Redaction Code. Select a Code Set and a code entry, then click Add Selected Entry.
