Adobe Acrobat 8 can Redact your Documents

Many firms take their time to upgrade to the next version of a piece of software they are currently using.  For those of you who are still using Adobe Acrobat Version 7 (or earlier), Version 8 has a number of features that may make the upgrade important for your firm to implement.  The feature that I believe holds the most value for legal professionals is the redaction feature.  This feature allows you to redact information within a pdf without ever printing it off to do the redaction by hand – i.e. with a black marker.  Keep in mind, though, that once it is gone, it is gone.  So, make sure that you keep an original copy for yourself before you redact the document.
