ADOBE ACROBAT 3D VERSION 8
User Guide
Font Color
Displays custom text in the selected color, which you can change by clicking the color swatch.
Repeat Overlay Text
Fills the redacted area with as many instances of the custom text as needed, without changing
the font size. For example, if you specify the letter x or a hyphen (-) as the custom text, these characters are repeated
throughout the redacted area.
Text Alignment
Sets the text alignment.
Create and edit redaction codes
Both the Redaction Code and Custom Text options create text that overprints areas that contain redaction markers.
The difference is that redaction codes are text entries that you can save, export, and import. One code set can contain
multiple codes.
Note: Codes don’t save the current attributes for overlay text as part of the code definition, such as colors, font charac
teristics, and repetition or size of text. Codes only make the overlay text itself reusable in future sessions and by other
users with whom you share code sets. You set other attributes for the code in the Redaction Tool Properties dialog box.
