Help! I have Acrobat 7.00 Standard, I have a PDF that I must BLOCK OUT certain words and email it to someone else, so that they can't "peek underneath" the blocks, and so when they print it, those words are blocked out. I used the pencil to scribble over, but when I print, the scribbles are not there, and the words show. How do I block out words permanently?

One more thing. The fix suggested for Acrobat 7 has a flaw in that the text can be found with Search. It still exists in the document, so it can exported, Read Out Loud (with the on-board screen reading feature), and otherwise accessed. If you truly need to remove the text from the document, then you will need to use redaction. I reccomend the upgrade.

There is yet another method:
Use fill blocks (with black) to cover the appropriate data. Then use Snapshot to take a photo of the page(s)and e-mail the snapshot

If you use the Text field tool, your objective is to draw fields around the word/s to be blocked and set the following properties for each field:
under Apperance - Border & fill color is set to black.Under General properties set the Common Properties to Read Only and Locked.
You could also do the above then password protect each field if they all are given the same name.
