asked on

want a paintbrush or white eraser tool in adobe acrobat 8

adobe acrobat 8 editing a pdf


I want a white paint brush

Maybe an eraser

What I normally do is upload a white image and resize

but in this case there are
2,2,4
2 month,  2 day, 4 year
8 total boxes
which would require 8 white images

Please do not just say put a 1 white image over the date box or 8 white images in the date boxes

I assume you have Acrobat Pro not Standard. I also assume that you want to blank out certain areas of the PDF.

Acrobat 8 introduced a set of tools that allow you to do that are called Redaction Tools. As A8 is a fairly old piece of software, not a lot of online help is available but check out this article that covers redaction and its early implementation in A8.

You also want to ensure that you have update to v8.13 at least as there have been early problems in lesser versions.

I think this works for 11 but can not understand how to test
I wrote 8 by mistake
Because I thought roman numerals Xi was '8' when it is actually '11'
so this is the correct answer for acrobat 8
Thanks. Have you checked out the Video in your other Question?  If so please respond there if you need more help.
