Hello and thank you for your consideration of my question. I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
 
Situation: I have received a pdf file which appears to have been generated by an all-in-one scanner/fax machine. It has an annoying vertical line on every page (the kind you see on a fax coming from a bad machine).
 
Question: Is there a way to remove the line?
 
Thanks,
 
Dan in North Carolina

You can use the redaction tool to mark the entire area and then apply the redaction, thereby removing the line.

Thanks for your reply. I did consider redaction; however, the line I want to remove runs through text and a form. I thought there might be an advanced function that would recognize the vertical line and remove it.
