For the life of me I cant find a feature set of Acrobat Standard 2017. A client of ours is saying she can't redact with Standard 2017. Before I go and make any concessions to rectify this i just want to be sure this isn't a feature of Standard 2017.

Redaction is a Pro only feature. You can create a script that can convert other annotation types to redaction annotations, and then redact the document - even in Standard, but the Probuser interface is much easier to use.

Hi

You can use the highlight text marker as a redaction tool, just make sure that the permission settings are set to printing and content copying for accessibility are allowed and create a password to protect the document.

This doesn't remove the content.
