[blindLaw] Redacting text on PDF documents with jaws

[Mallaz Khalil]

Good morning David, 

Legal assistance and paralegals often redact portions of a text in a document such as the names of witnesses and/or their mailingaddresses or phone numbers   for confidentiality purposes.  this is similar to redlining in word except that you need adobe acrobat professional. i use jaws 2020 and acrobat pro 2014 and still unable to perform this function independently.
       

Best regards,
Mallaz
