How secure is redaction in adobe acrobat x pro? Can text be read once redacted?

I have redacted and applied all the credit card info from some pdfs and saved them after.  Is there any way of undoing the redaction and being able to read the credit card info. 
Your experience in this field will be much appreciated.
KF.

Always so long as you remember to APPLY it (some people haven't, with embarrassing results).

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro writing text not smooth.

    I use tablet pc for education in university and I try Adobe Acrobat X Pro writing text it not smooth text can you have add-in pen input support or support pen writing (smooth)for tablet pc?

    If you want to annotate the PDF directly on a tablet, use PDF Annotator. The annotation capabilities of Acrobat are poor. You also have to select the erase tool to erase, rather than just turn the pen over. PDF Annotator works the way you would expect annotation to work with a pen. It is also useful if you grade PDFs on the tablet. The only thing I find annoying with Annotator is that the paging is a bit clunky. You should be able to find an educational price for the package, or possibly your school has it under license. There is a 30-day trial if you would like to try it. Most folks here would not dream of annotating with Acrobat for the same reasons you have found.

  • How do I transfer the Adobe Acrobat XI Pro to a new computer?

    I downloaded Adobe Acrobat XI Pro from the internet last week and I am changing computers in my office today.  How can I transfer this program to my new computer when the program did not give me an option to SAVE it when downloading it?  I really want to use it on my new computer and do not wish to purchase it again since no one will be using the old computer after it is switched out.
    Thanks for your help.  Michelle

    I assume you have your S/N (or subscription information). In that case, you can download from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. You should deactivate the version on the old computer so you keep your activations current. Also, be sure to register your installation, particularly with the S/N for the future so you have access to info online (like your S/N). Also make a backup of the install file on a CD or backup drive for the future -- a download may not always be available, and even if it is it may be hard to find.

    “All scripts are executed in response to a particular event. There are several types of events.” (Adobe, 2006, p. 40). You may want to execute your script as a console event. In this case, use the JavaScript Debugger console (Adobe, 2006, p. 21). For more information, read the manual Acrobat has provided online: Developing Acrobat Applications (Adobe, 2006).

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro can't see Network Drives, unlike rest of Adobe Software

    I can't open pdfs in any of my three network drives because my Adobe Acrobat software does not list them as existing drives!
    I need some help.  I'm on Windows 8, and this problem just began last week.  It had been working just fine.

    Hi chthao,
    How frustrating! Since you got Acrobat as part of CS6, let's start with the troubleshooting tips in this document: Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • How do i get my adobe acrobat 9 pro convert buttons on browser so i can convert a webpage to pdf

    It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

  • How to extract data from Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    Hello,
    I am new to creating fillable pdf forms, so please bear with me if I am not in the right area.
    Currently our site has a page that our users enter data into and that data is sent to a database for further processing.
    I see how to create the fillable pdf form itself and how to have it made available on the site.  What I cannot see is one the fillable pdf form is filled, how can I extract the data and put it into a database such as SQL?
    Thank you for your help.

    Typically, the form has a submit button. This works in the same way as a submit button on a web page.
    That is, there is a script on a web server (CGI, ASP, PHP, many other possibilities). The script has a URL. The form connects to the URL and sends the form information. Then the script does whatever the programmer wants. Putting it in a database is a frequent activity.
    If I understand right, you already have this process and want to apply it to a new form. You may need a programmer's assistance to work out what happens on the server, or you may just be able to recycle the submit action from the existing form. Examine the existing form very carefully, the field names will be vital, and there may be essential JavaScripts.
    Note too that there are two kinds of PDF form - those made in Acrobat, and those made in LiveCycle Designer.

  • How do I manually uninstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

    The program crashed when using compiling the results of a distributed form.
    I cannot open or compile any of my distributed forms, or even open the Tracker.
    I uninstalled the program and reinstlled it, but the same problem exists.
    I cannot use any existing distributed forms or create new ones.
    I would like to try a manual uninstall.
    Reformatting my hard drive is a last resort.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Mike
    Thank you for your recommendation to use Filemaker Pro. We will be buying the program soon.
    The documentation for the Microsoft Installer Clean-up tool says 1) that other programs might be uninstalled also, and 2) you should not use it if you have Microsoft Office 2007 installed on your computer. i checked out the referral link for those who have Office 2007 installed, and it gives instructions for uninstalling Office 2007.
    Thank you in advance for your response.

  • Adobe acrobat x pro can't install

    Hi,
    I've managed to install all the elements of the CS5 suite (thanks to manish!), but the acrobat pro x still refuses to install.  I'm getting a message that my system doesn't comply with the minimal requirements, but I've checked them out, and everything seems to be up to date.  Also, it seems strange that the minimal requirements for all the other programs (flash, etc. ) are ok, but that acrobat needs something entirely different.
    Has anyone else had this problem?  Any advice?
    thanks,
    Sam

    I have been creating forms successfully with them being edited by people with any version of Acrobat Reader.

  • How do I export Shapefiles in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    Hello all,
    I read that Adobe Acrobat XI Pro can export Shapefiles (.shp), but I am unable to find the process that I would need to take to do this.  Can someone help me figure this out?  Any help you can provide will be most appreciated.  Thank you.

    You read wrong. Acrobat can only export geo markup to an FDF data packet (for re-import into another PDF).

    Acrobat 8 pro is not compatible with MS Office 2013. You might prefer buying a newer version of Acrobat with Latest Features and Security Updates (Buying guide | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro).
