Redacting data in PDF documents
You can use ABBYY PDF Transformer+ to redact confidential information in PDF documents before
publishing them. Both text and images can be redacted.
1. Click the button on the main toolbar.
2. Select the text and/or images you want to remove.
The selected areas will be covered by black rectangles and any text inside these areas will be
removed from the text layer.
To change the color that is used to obliterate redacted text, click the button on the
toolbar.
ABBYY PDF Transformer+ also lets you redact text found using the search function.
1. Click the button on the main toolbar.
2. Click the button in the pane to the left.
The Search and Redact panel will open in the left part of the window.
3. Type the text you want to redact in the text entry box.
4. Search results will be displayed. Select the results you want to redact.
5. Click the Apply Redactions button.
The selected text will be covered by black rectangles in the document and replaced with asterisks in
hidden objects (i.e. comments, bookmarks, and metadata).
You can also delete hidden data and make it impossible to copy text from the document.
