Acrobat help. Remove sensitive content from PDF files

Similar Questions

• Hide sensitive information in PDF files

  I need to scan a document and send it to a financial advisor, who could share the document with the insurance companies.  The document had sensitive numbers in that I didn't have insurance.  I used the functions of markup Acrobat to draw a line under the sensitive numbers and changed the thickness of the lines to completely hide the numbers.  Then I used Acrobat security features to lock the document so that the markup could not be disabled.  Then, I saved the PDF file.

  When you open the scanned in Acrobat Reader, I found that the document is rendered first and then the markup is drawn on the top of the document.  If someone interrupted the process (I have not tried this but I guess anyone determined could do) before the markup is drawn, then the sensitive numbers would be visible.

  When you scan documents with sensitive information in them, we scan to a raster format (BMP, etc.) and then to hide sensitive information by painting on the appropriate pixels?

  Today, I was sitting idly and had the idea that I could take the above generated PDF document and then print it, markup and all, into a second PDF file, and then maybe the second PDF file would have the sensitive info really obscured and unrecoverable.  I tried and it seems to have worked, open the second file in Acrobat, I'm unable to change or even choose the markup.  But I'm not sure 100% that there is a way to get the news obscured in the second PDF file or not.

  What is the recommended method to remove sensitive information from scanned documents?

  Thank you.

  You must use the redaction. Many here can give you advice on that. Almost any other method may be cancelled. Another way is to block information on the original with a bit of paper and rescan.

• Search for content in pdf files stopped working after the migration of Windows 2008 Indexing Service

  Hello

  We have designed a search custom as an aspx page that uses the Indexing Service to search for content in a set a which coexist document types (doc, pdf, xls, etc.)

  We moved to a Windows Server 2003 Indexing Service to Windows 2008 and since the Indexing Service has stopped the search pdf files. The search returns only another type of pdf files.

  On the new server where the Indexing Service, I installed Adobe PDF iFilter 11 for 64-bit platform, I think it's the plugin the Indexing Service uses to find the content of pdf files.

  Does anyone got the Search Indexing Service content in PDFs on Windows 2008 server?

  Thank you

  When you delete the last folder empty under a drive, the drive itself should disappear from the folder Panel.

• Helps air and browser-based PDF files

  Hello world

  I'm if happy to have the forum like that, hoping that sharing experiences will help a little further.

  Recently, I tried to generate a browser based AIR helps in combination with merged projects. Moreover, Peter Grainge tutorial was very helpful here, thanks Peter!

  My project also contained a single PDF file in a luggage container. After that I had published my file, I noticed that it was not possible to open the PDF file somehow.

  So I tried the same with Adobe AIR Application to contribute and worked the PDF. Now, I was wondering if I did something wrong or what I need to be aware of something.

  Personally, I don't mind using Adobe AIR Application Help, the only downside I had discovered next to local, is installing the spacing document seemed to be a bit strange. In fact, there is no space between the border and the content. With any other release of single source there is, including the browser based AIR support.

  I have not found any similar problems on this forum, but maybe someone of you has a tip for me.

  Thank you and greetings from the Germany,

  Christian

  Hello

  Have you tried the help output based on an opening in the browser Firefox, or chrome browser. Internet Explorer has a problem where it opens all files in the case of the browser based help seen locally (security issue with IE).

  If you publish this aid to any Web server, and the view from there, everything will start works fine as expected. Please check and let me know

• Remove mouseover in a PDF file name

  I am trying to generate a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat X Pro through the interface of Word 2007.  When I generate my PDF and hover over an image, the text of the passage of the mouse displays the file name of the image file (IE mouseover text = "ImageFilename.png").  In addition, some of them are not correct (the name of the image file is in fact a previous revision of the image file and not the current file).  I would like to know:

  -What Acrobat data queries for these names of files.  I know that this is not the actual file name since some are incorrect, so it must be some data contained in the word itself?

  -How to completely remove this feature?  There is no significance to the names of image files and I'd rather not have all correspond to the text of the document.

  I tried this and other forums but can not find instructions on how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  You see the word "alt" text. When you insert a picture in Word, it automatically uses the name of the file in the text field. This can only be with Office 2007 +. To change it, in files in mode compatibility (.doc) right click on the image and go to the format of the image, then select the ALT text tab. In the .docx files, this tab is under "Size."... "for stupid reasons rather than the format of the image. The text is a good thing for accessibility - screen-reading software.

• Can remove pages of a PDF file

  In general, I can't delete the pages of my PDF files first. Acrobat displays the error message "one or more pages could not be deleted." In General, if I close and restart Acrobat a few times, I am able to delete the pages in question. Is there a way to get the delete function works the first time?

  This happens in some versions of Acrobat that have not been updated. In Acrobat, try help > search for the updates and update to the latest version.
