Follow these steps to redact a PDF file:

Open the document.
On the top toolbar, select Edit PDF.
Tap and hold Redact .
Pick the Blackout or Erase option.
Select the text to redact it. Please note: There is no possibility to restore the redacted text after saving the file.

To cancel the redaction, tap on the toolbar.
