Unable to Edit/Whiteout/redact items in documents


SL Specialty

Recommended Posts

Hello.. There are certain documents that I am unable to white out or remove certain text. When attempting to do so it will highlight large areas and remove information that I am not trying to remove. I have verified with the senders that these documents do not contain security restrictions and should be able to modify the information. i have tried to print to pdf so I can edit and that does not work. Short of printing the entire document (30-60) pages and scanning them in as a pdf and editing I am at a loss. Please if you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thank you

Hello @SL Specialty,

Thank you for reaching out to us through our Community Forums!

To further assist you, what build of Nitro Pro are you working with? You can find this out by clicking on 'About Nitro Pro' under the Help tab (format is 13.XX.X.XXX, e.g. 13.70.2.40 or you can go to Control Panel > Programs and Features.

Lastly, how were these files created and what software was used (e.g. from an external source like a website, from an email message, AutoCad converted-to-PDF files, or an internal application/reporting tool)?

Thanks!

Hello! I am using 13.53.3.1073   We think the vendor(s) are using ADOBE to create the files but we are unsure. We receive the documents via email as a PDF. attachment.

Hello @SL Specialty,

You can check the document's property by right-clicking any area of the page and selecting Document Properties. It will show what application was used to create the document under "Creator" and "Producer".

Hello @SL Specialty,

Would it be possible to send over a copy of the PDF file you are working on?

To send it via private message, hover your mouse on top of my name 'AllainU' and select 'Message'.

Thank you very much in advance and I am looking forward to hearing back from you.
