Redact A Pdf 'Find text and redact' freezes application
I am experiencing a recurring issue in Adobe Acrobat when using the Find Text and Redact tool. Each time I try to run a text search and redact process, the application freezes and becomes completely unresponsive. I have to force close Acrobat through Task Manager every time.
Troubleshooting steps I have already tried:
- Splitting the PDF into smaller files
- Scanning the PDF and saving as a new file
- Optimizing the PDF
- Turning off Enhanced Security
- Setting Protected View to Off
- Restarting Acrobat and restarting the system
None of these steps have resolved the issue. The freeze happens on multiple PDFs and is consistent.
Is this a known bug, and is there a recommended workaround or fix? Any help would be appreciated.
