redactions, right-click the redaction mark, and select Make Current Properties Default.
Redaction Codes
Redaction Codes indicate why content was redacted. Nitro Pro 9 is pre-loaded with commonly used
redaction codes, also known as exemption codes, which apply to the US FOIA (Freedom Of Information
Act) and the US Privacy Act, for example, (b)1A.
TIP: You can specify default redaction codes to be associated with redaction marks when you create
them. You can also customize redaction codes and define your own code sets of customized redaction
codes.
Alternatively, you can specify custom text for a redaction mark.

1. On the Protect tab, click Mark Content, and select Redaction Mark Properties from the menu. The
Redaction Properties dialog appears.
2. Check the Use Overlay Text checkbox
3. Specify a fill-color, a font, color, and size for the overlay text

or more redaction codes from the Codes list. The field next to Redaction Code previews the
redaction codes you are using. Default selected codes are added to all new redaction marks.
