Video: How to Redact confidential information in a PDF by keyword list
The PDF Editor allows you to use word, word combination, and keyword list search to remove
confidential information from PDF documents before publishing them. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Click the tab in the pane on the left or click View > Search in the main menu to open
the Search pane.
2. Navigate to the Redact tab.
3. In the Find what text field:
·
type the word or phrase you want to find
·
or click the icon and select Find Using Keyword List from the drop-down list to
search for text using a custom list.
4. Words or phrases that match your query will be highlighted in the document.
The search results will be arranged into groups (by source: text, comments, or bookmarks)
and you will be able to highlight entire groups.
5. If required, click the arrow next to the icon and select any of the following:
·
Exact Match will find only words that are an exact match of the words you typed in the
search box.
E.g. searching for the word "correct" will not find words like "incorrectly" or "correction".
·
Match Case will find only words that match the capitalization in your query.
E.g. searching for the word "Editor" will not find words like "editor" or "EDITOR".
