Sanitising handles all the other things which could trip you up, like metadata and odd bits of data hanging around in the document file. Removing hidden information tackles those elements which you can’t see to redact, but which Acrobat detects. Redact obliterates selected sections of text and/or graphics, normally using filled black rectangles, just like a black marker. Make a point of using them each in that order. This adds a toolbar with three main actions: mark and redact, remove hidden information, and sanitize the document. Select the Redact tool, and add it to your document view. Like all the more useful tools in Acrobat, you have to open the Tools view in order to find and engage them. There are similar tools available in some other advanced PDF editors too.
