PDFill | Overview | First | Previous | Next | PDFill PDF Redaction & PDF Eraser PDFill PDF Redaction & PDF Eraser lets you redact or remove sensitive content (Text, Image, Shapes, Commenting) before you distribute a PDF. The visible text and graphics from a document is permanently removed. In place of the removed items, you can have redaction marks that appear as colored boxes, or you can leave the area blank. Inside Adobe reader, you can check to see if the deleted information is still there. You can extract the original image or replace it with a new image. You can copy the original text to clipboard or replace with a new Single Line Text (Font may not be the same).
