Best practices for redacting a PDF Make a copy of the original PDF. Use a different color or font for the redacted text to stand out from the rest of the document. Use a highlighter or other marking tool to identify the confidential data you want to remove. Redact the data using a PDF editing program.

Sanitize your documents. Choose Tools ? Redact. Click Sanitize Document in the top toolbar. Choose to selectively remove hidden information or remove all by clicking OK. Choose Save As? and save the file with a different name to avoid overwriting the original.

Blacking Out Text Manually Click the drop-down arrow to the right of the ab highlighter icon in the "Font" section. Click the black box in the drop-down menu. Click the black line below the highlighter icon. Repeat this process of highlighting with black to cover text.

Cut-out (literally) all the text to be redacted and properly dispose of (shred) the clippings. This method will always be 100% effective. Use opaque (100% impenetrable by light; neither transparent nor translucent) tape or paper to cover over the sections to be redacted.

Manual Redaction If you have a hard copy of your bank statement, you can redact your personal information using a black marker or pen to cover up the information you want to keep private. Simply black out the information you don't want to share, ensuring it's completely covered and unreadable.
