Create and manage redaction profiles
A redaction profile specifies the text to be redacted, the new text that you want to
overlay the redacted text with, and the search criteria. When you need to search and
redact content in documents that require the same protection, using a redaction
profile can improve the productivity in your document workflow.
To create a redaction profile, do as the following:
1. Select Protect > Mark for Redaction > Search and Redact, and the Search panel
opens. (Or click the Search or replace command in the upper right corner
of the application window, and choose Search & Redact.)
2. From the search criteria drop-down list, choose Redaction Profiles.
3. Click Create.
4. In the pop-up dialog box, input a name for the profile to be created.
5. In the New word or phrase box, type the text you want to redact. In the Overlay
text box, type the text that will be displayed on the redacted text. Then click Add.
Repeat as needed. The redacted text and the Overlay text you add will be listed as
groups in the Word/Phrase and overlay text list box. To remove a group, select
it and click Remove.
6. (Optional) Select any of the following options to specify the search criteria as
needed.
a) To limit the search to match only whole words, check Whole Words Only. For
example, if you search for the word Read, the word Reader will not be found.
This criterion is only available for text search.
b) To make the search case-sensitive, check Case-Sensitive. For example, if you
search for the word text, the words Text and TEXT will not be found. This
criterion is only available for text search.
c) To highlight all the text search results, please check Highlight All Text.
