Redact a PDF: government form guide

A government form usually has fixed fields and aligned columns, so replacing whole lines keeps it looking original.

Steps

  1. Open the PDF.
  2. Choose Redact.
  3. Mark the sensitive text.
  4. Save — text is removed.

Tip: Black boxes alone don't hide text; true redaction removes it.

Redact sensitive information permanently and protect PDFs with passwords and permissions.
