Thank you for reaching out.
If you are printing the document, I am afraid there is no option to print the overlay text along with the selected text for redaction.
For more information on redacting text in PDF, refer to the following help document: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/removing-sensitive-content-pdfs.html.
Thanks,
Meenakshi

Hi Meenakshi,
Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated.

It can be done using a custom-made script. If you're interested I could develop such a script for you, for a small fee.
You can contact me privately to discuss it further.

I guess a printer driver issue.
So they can print as PDF, then print the new PDF.

That's not the issue. They want to see the overlay text on the print-out, the thing you see when you hover over the redaction comment, before applying it (and what appears on top of it, after you apply it)...

Something like this:

You probably know this, but I wanted to emphasise, because of potentially serious legal consequences: if you save the redactions instead of applying, then IT ISN'T REDACTED. That file is not private, and all the original info is there for the taking.

In this case it's the process that's not right. Comments tools are made for this kind of task.
Then use a script to convert the highlights (or whatever) into Redaction marks.

They are Redaction marks already, but they don't show up in full when you print them, since the overlay text is not visible.
