Mark for Redaction

Using Foxit, redaction is a simple two-phase process that lets you first mark the text or graphics for Redaction, and then apply the redaction.

1. Mark the text you want to redact:

To mark text or graphics for redaction, select Protect > Redaction > Mark for Redaction > Text & Images , and the Hand command changes into a Cross automatically. Then do any the following to mark the content:

Drag a rectangle where you want to add redaction. This method allows you to select and mark both text and images at the same time.
Double-click an image to mark an entire image.
Hover the pointer over the text. When the pointer changes, click and drag to select the text you want to redact.

2. Apply Redactions

You need to apply the redactions after marking the text, graphics, pages ,or searched results you want to redact. To apply the redaction, do the following:

Select Protect > Redaction > Apply Redactions . You can also do this by right-clicking the marked content and choosing Apply or Apply All to redact either the selected content or all of the marked content in the document.
A dialog box pops up to give a warning message and asks if you are sure to apply the redaction or not.
Select OK after you have marked all content that you want to redact.
