Applying Single Redaction

  • May 27, 2021

For a previous employer, I used a competitor's product to mark documents for redaction and to apply the redactions.

That software gave an option to apply a single redaction when you right clicked, rather than applying all.

Is there a similar option on Acrobat as I cant seem to find it?

 

Many thanks

I think the only way to do that is with a script. Select the redaction(s) you want to apply in the Comments panel, then press Ctrl+J and paste the following code into the Console window:

 

this.applyRedactions({aMarks: this.selectedAnnots});

 

Then press Ctrl+Enter.

    Hi there

     

    Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. as described you want to apply single redaction to the PDF

     

    Would you mind elaborating more about single redaction? Also what is the version of the Adobe Acrobat DC and the OS you are using? To check the version of the application go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the latest version installed Go to Help > Check for Updates and  reboot the computer once.

     

    For more information about redaction and removing sensitive information please check out the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/removing-sensitive-content-pdfs.html#redact_black_out_and_remove_sensitive_content_acrobat_pro

     

    Hope it will help

     

    Regards

    Amal

    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, Continuous release version 2021.001.20155

     

    The scenario is this - we have marked up redactions in a document that needs to have the mark-ups reviewed.  However, A couple of the marked up redactions need to be applied before the rest are sent for review.  I can only find options that apply all the markups.  Kofax allows individual mark ups to be applied as well as applying all and so would hope Adobe have a way of doing this that I am missing.
