censuring words

Hi, I am requesting support to censor words identified in a PDF using JavaScript from the console that incorporates the Acrobat Reader console. Which method can be called so that once that word is identified, the method is executed and censors the words?

I hope this helps!

var qd = getPageNthWordQuads(page, position + w);

We have the Pro version at work, but we want to censor using JavaScript in the console, but I haven't found the method in the API. At the moment we have a script that marks the words to be censored, but we can't find any direct method to censor from the script.
Thanks soo much
