<h1>Redacting PDFs</h1>
<p><b>ONLYOFFICE PDF Editor</b> allows you to black out, i.e. redact, sensitive information in a .pdf. You can redact information in one of the three ways: manually mark text for redaction, redact whole pages, or find and automatically redact words and phrases.</p>
<p>In order to redact information:</p>
<ol>
<li>
Go to the <b>Redact</b> tab.
<p><img alt="Redact tab" src="../images/interface/redacttab.png" /></p>
</li>
<li>
Choose your preferred way to redact text:
<ul>
<li><b>Mark for Redaction</b> - manually select the text for redaction as you would with the basic selection tool.</li>
<li><b>Redact Pages</b> - choose whether you want to <em>mark current page</em> or <em>select a range</em> of pages for redaction.</li>
<li>
<b>Find & Redact</b> - switch to the <a href="https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/ONLYOFFICE-Editors/ONLYOFFICE-Document-Editor/HelpfulHints/Search.aspx" target="_blank">Search</a> tool and enter the text piece you want to redact.
<ul>
<li>Choose whether you want to mark just the current match (<b>Mark for Redaction</b>) or all matches (<b>Mark All</b>) in your .pdf.</li>
<li>Customize your search parameters by making the search <em>case sensitive</em> or by matching <em>whole words only</em>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Click the <b>Apply Redactions</b> button on the top toolbar to apply your changes.</li>
</ol>
