I have a bank document PDF, and just need to delete, or paint over in white, a select fill of words of text/ actually bank account numbers.

 

Even though I'm 25 years in PHotoshop. I could not after fifteen minutes figure out how to select a couple of words of text and delete.  I also could not find a pen tool to write over or paint over.

 

Also could not find a way to select and fill.  Extremely frustrating, as I'd have this done easly in 1 min in Photoshop. I was able to bring it into photoshop, but then PS seperates the pages.

 

I even googled how to do this , but did not help, some goofy tips on commeing .. Totally flustred.

I knew Acrobat would be harder than photoshop, but I though after 15- 20 mintues, I'd find one of those three methods, but no totally stuck. Thanks!

@larry45  @Bernd Alheit is explaining exactly how it should work. Maybe, you better with visuals:

In Acrobat Pro - Tools - Protect & Standardize - Redact

 

 


For example, 


Just make sure to 'Click on Apply' and 'Save' when done! 




Creative  thanks for helping!   I don't see  Home, and Tools as you are showing.

 

 

I only see all tools, hence , cant find in the clumbsy software your prescipiton.  I can't find anything intuitive in Acrobat, it's truly a hall or mirrors.  Was able to get rolling in apple preview.. all tha basic, redact, fill, even brush, paint, can't find.  These things are well hidden!  Maybe Adobe make more money by making the software difficult and unusable, just a guess. Baffling.
