Blurring Parts of Multi-Page Documents

I'm building a database of government forms (IRS demand letters, lien filings, IRS responses to requests, etc.) to use for teaching seminars and for clients (I'm a tax lawyer) - so I'll use it in PowerPoint and paper handouts.

I want to blur out the specific information on the form that references specific individuals for presentation use. I know Acrobat can redact this information, but I just don't like its solid black (or whatever color) redaction and think for presentations, blurring this information (like you see on TV documentaries) looks better.

So, I'm thinking I need an Adobe plug-in or some program that will just allow simple edits of multi-page Acrobat files to blur this information. Photoshop would be perfect, but for the fact it won't handle multi-page documents. I've tried editing page-by-page in Photoshop, then reassembling in Acrobat, but that process just seems inefficient.

Any recommendations for blurring parts of an Acrobat file or other thoughts? Thank you.

The simple answer is you can't - aside from importing each page into a graphics program.
