Andrew, does Acrobat leave nothing behind to indicate the extent or nature of the redaction? For example, using a screen reader would I be able to tell whether it was one word or a paragraph? Or whether it also happened to be a name or a date?

And, if I wanted to mark up the redaction that way, would I be able to attach tags accordingly?

Gary,
In acrobat you can redact text.  In doing so, the text that is redacted is removed from the tag tree and content tree for the document, so when it is redacted it is gone.

Thanks,
