Need to disable 'unapplied redactions' notification ribbon

I know I need to apply redactions, I generally have a thundering lot of them in any one document I'm working on, and I can't apply until they're both all done and the redacted information is consistent from instance to instance.

 

This ribbon gets in the way, taking up screen space that I'd rather have to examine documents.  How do I disable this?  It's of absolutely no help whatsoever.

Can you please let me know as well? I'd like to disable the ribbon but keep working on a document that has several areas marked for redactions where the redactions have not yet been applied.

The only way to do this is to convert the Redact Annots into something else, then save, close, and re open the PDF. This perserves the redact info but turns off Acrobat's automatic warning feature. 

Another option is to mark up the PDF with a different type of annotation, then convert it a Redact Annot when you are ready. 

This can all be done with scripts.
