Adobe Acrobat Question

Hello Micronet,
 
I have a PDF document that I'm going to include in a screen movie using Camtasia from Techsmith. I need to edit some of the material in the document for security reasons. On the screen, I can white out portions of the document with a rectangle markup tool, set line color and fill to white. I can then use the typewriter tool to type over those spots so that new "dummy" info appears in those spaces.
 
However, when I go to PRINT the document, the original text is NOT whited out, and the "dummy" text appears overwriting the original. I'd like to print a new document with the "dummy" info. Is this possible? I'm kind of new to Acrobat, so any clues greatfully accepted.
 
Thanks,
 
Bond

Bond,

This has to do with print options...if you're using Windows (or other than Acrobat Pro v7)  it may be slightly different.

But in the Print Dialog, you'll probably see an option for ";Comments and Forms"; - choose an option here to print the elements you want to print.

I hope that helps, Michael

Hi Bond,

You may want to have a go with the "TouchUp Text
Tool".  In my  
version of Acrobat (v.7, Mac) it's under "Tools...
Advanced  
Editing..."  This tool lets you do some simple edit of
text elements,  
and may do the trick for you.

This is definitely an area for being careful -- there have
been some  
pretty high-profile snafus along these lines:
