This dialog box appears whenever there is any text marked
for redacting in the Text Editor and you click the
Redact Document
tool or the Close and Redact Document
button in the Find, Replace and Mark Text
dialog box.
Redaction can be performed on a copy of the current document
or on the original document. The options are:
Create a copy of the current document and
do the redacting on the new document: Select
this to keep the original document untouched and perform redaction on
a copy.
Do the redacting on the current document:
Select this to overwrite the original
document with the redacted blacked out text. Be
aware that redacting cannot be undone. If you need a record of what was
redacted, do the redaction in a copy.
Redact:
Click this to perform redaction.
When you choose to have redacting done in a copy, both the
original document and the copy remain open in OmniPage, waiting to be
saved. The original document shows all text marked for redacting with
a gray highlight, so the text can still be read. The copy displays black
blocks in place of the redacted texts.
Redacted text remains blacked out after export and the removed
text cannot be discovered by searching.
When you perform immediate redacting by searching, you have
only a limited ability to restore the blacked out text. Recent redacting
can be undone with the Undo command, but when you leave a page or export
it, the redacting becomes permanent.
