Redacting text

ONLYOFFICE PDF Editor allows you to black out, i.e. redact, sensitive information in a .pdf. You can redact information in one of the three ways: manually mark text for redaction, redact whole pages, or find and automatically redact words and phrases.

In order to redact information:

1. Go to the Redact tab.

   

2. Choose your preferred way to redact text:
   • Mark for Redaction - manually select the text for redaction as you would with the basic selection tool.
   • Redact Pages - choose whether you want to mark current page or select a range of pages for redaction.
   • Find & Redact - switch to the Search tool and enter the text piece you want to redact.
     • Choose whether you want to mark just the current match (Mark for Redaction) or all matches (Mark All) in your .pdf.
     • Customize your search parameters by making the search case sensitive or by matching whole words only.
3. Click the Apply Redactions button on the top toolbar to apply your changes.
