I have been given Adobe Acrobat Pro License with Redact Feature included but this option is greyed out for me when using Adobe Acrobat Pro Latest version. This option is greyed out for any documents i try to redact , including docs with no security added. 

I have reinstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro a few times but the issue remains . Tried on another computer but issue remains

Hi,

 

As per the screenshot, it seems App is running with Acrobat standard license. Could you please confirm you are on latest version ?

The original screenshots show "Adobe Acrobat Pro" in the title bar.

Hi Pariah - Could you please provide some guidance as to why the Redact tool isn't appearing despite my having Adobe Acrobat Pro? It has been months of my company's IT team trying to figure it out and they're coming to Adobe for some guidance.

You need to open a file first...

Good Afternoon - this occurs when a file is open. I've tried with many different PDFs

Post a screenshot of what you're seeing with a file open, and share that file, please.
