It's working now

for(var pg = 0; pg < this.numPages; pg++){

var rCrop = this.getPageBox("Crop",pg);

this.addAnnot({

type:"Redact",

page:pg,

quads:[[0, 20, rCrop[2], 20, 0, 0, rCrop[2], 0]],

overlayText: "",

alignment: 1,

repeat:true

})

;}

this.applyRedactions({bKeepMarks: false, bShowConfirmation: false, cProgText: "Processing..." });

As you've found out, Redaction annotations are defined using quads, not a rect...

Yes. You can create a Redaction annotation over that area and then apply it.

Thanks, I tried following code

this.addAnnot({page: 0,type: "Redact",rect: [[0, 0, 500, 200]]});

But no matter the coordinates, rectangle is always in bottom left corner. Any ideas?
