Foxit Redactor for Office
User Manual
Chapter 1 – Overview
Foxit Redactor is a lightweight add-on to Microsoft Office for anyone who needs to protect confidential
information by redacting it from Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel documents. Enterprises that
highly value information security, Microsoft AD RMS users, as well as those who need to restrict access
to documents, can use this Office plugin to remove or redact sensitive images and text that are visible
in PDFs. In place of the removed items, you can apply redaction marks that can appear as blacked out
boxes.
Users can create redacted PDF files that will display the redactions within any PDF viewer, or they can
create a redacted RMS-protected PDF document that shows the redacted content to anyone with the
right credentials and authorization using a Microsoft Rights Management policy.
You can also create non-redacted PDFs that contain password/certificate/RMS protection with the add-
on in Outlook and Visio.
This manual focuses on how to use Foxit Redactor for Office to create redacted PDF files as well as other
secured PDF files.
