Data redaction in Reader

[Dan190984]

Hi

I do not have pro but need to securely redact a document. If I follow these steps is the document secure and unable to be unredacted?

- Use the highlighter tool to redact text

- File 

- Print

-Printer to CutePDF

-Advanced 

-Tick "Print as Image"

-Print and save

I haven't found a wa to get at the text but don't know if other software may allow someone to?

This is absolutely not a safe manner to securely redact a document. “Pony up” for a copy of Acrobat Pro to get a truely-redacted document, not a hack that may or may not provide what you need.

Thanks for the quick reply. 

Please could you advise why this isnt secure? There's doesn't appear a way to do the simple copy paste hack for other methods. 

What am I missing?

We're not going to tell anyone how to hack badly redacted files, but you have been warned. I assume you are accountable for this data, legally or morally. Do you want your privacy (or someone else's privacy) potentially breached in seconds?
