Redacted Text

Flare supports redacted text, which is text that is "blacked out" in Adobe PDF output. This is much more efficient than attempting to black out text or other content after the document has been printed. Redaction occurs when content is permanently eliminated from a printed or electronic document. In place of that content, end users will see black rectangles that indicate where the original content was found.

Example You are generating a sensitive legal document, and the names of individuals and other personal information need to be hidden. In that case, you can perform redaction for those areas so that they are blacked out when you build the output.

Here is what a topic with redacted text might look like in the output:

  1. Setting Redacted Text on Content
  2. Setting Redacted Text on Targets

Important When you use this feature, the text in the generated output is truly gone. There is no way a user can peek into the output and find it.
