Redaction

A new toolbar has been added to Acrobat 8. The Redaction tools are particularly helpful for users working

in the legal industry who need to remove text content from documents to protect sensitive data such as the

names of minors, personal privacy information, and data breeching security policies. When you open the

Redaction toolbar you’ll see four tools to help you redact PDF documents as shown in Figure 1.33.

Typewriter toolbar

The Typewriter tool was added to all Acrobat viewers in a maintenance upgrade during the Acrobat 7 life

cycle. This toolbar, shown in Figure 1.34, contains tools for typing text on PDF documents. It’s particularly

helpful when filling out PDF forms that don’t have form fields.
