Did you know that it is possible to use an image editor like Photoshop from within Adobe Acrobat to clean up a PDF?
I didn’t either, but thanks to this post on the Acrobat for Legal Professionals blog by Rick Borstein, now I do: How to Erase and Clean-up a Scanned PDF in Acrobat XI.
There are two ways you can clean up content in a PDF:
- Use the Redaction tools (Acrobat Pro only) and redact using the “No Color” option.
- Use the Edit Image option and an external editor to clean up the PDF
I’ve never written about the second option previously, so this seems like a good opportunity to do so!
I had no idea you could integrate Acrobat with an image editor. Cool tip.
