How can I disable the blue prompt “This PDF contains unapplied redactions..."

Question

How can I disable the blue prompt “This PDF contains unapplied redactions. To permanently remove the selected content select Apply.”

I do not want to remove the selected content, and I am afraid that I might accidentally click on “Apply”.

I use redaction as a workaround to find and permanently highlight all occurrences of a word in the file, because Adobe Acrobat does not have a search and highlight feature.

Thanks.

Click on the redactions and click your delete key or right-click and delete.

In the future, you can try this action:Find, Highlight, and Extract Words.

I do NOT know if it still works on the current version as I didn’t test it.
