Re: Tagging of Redacted PDFs

Adobe has changed how redaction works in the latest versions of Acrobat.
After selecting the text/graphics you want to redact, you must:

1. Right-click on the redacted black box and select Apply Redaction.
2. De-select the option to Sanitize the file.

Sanitizing the file removes all the tags from the PDF and you'll then have to re-tag it afterwards, either manually or with AutoTag (gah!).
