Notice I created comments of various kinds: a square comment (in red at the top), some highlights (in yellow), and a strike-through (in red at the bottom). I've marked up the parts of this page I want to remove. Let's have a look at an example (the screenshots below were taken in Acrobat Pro, but the same applies for Acrobat Standard). So instead of spending a lot of money on an upgrade, make the most of the application you have and add this handy tool to it! You can select between converting all the comments in the file, just the highlights, or just the currently selected ones. Using this new tool I've developed you can bring this feature into your Acrobat Standard and convert your regular comments into Redaction markups, and then apply them, all with a single click! However, this feature is unfortunately missing from Acrobat Standard.īut did you know that it's technically possible to create AND apply redactions in Acrobat Standard? There's just no direct access to this hidden feature through the application's menus. It provides the only safe way of removing information from a PDF file. One of the best features of Acrobat Pro is the Redaction tool. This version will convert the last 3 highlight comments in the file to Redactions, and then apply them.

Update (): A free DEMO version of this script is now available here. Update (): The demo version will now also convert Square comments, so you can redact non-textual objects as well. Direct purchase using PayPal ($40 only per license)!
