          Not sure what you mean by "blu" text and images. The only safe way to protect the information is to not put it in the file, or delete it totally (use the text touchup or object touchup tools). After making changes, be sure to use the Save As button to delete the old info. Covering things up with images or such does not protect stuff.

          If I misunderstand your needs, then explain in more detail what you are trying to do and don't assume we know your terminology. Bill

            If you perform this function regularly, you might want to take a look at the Redaction tool in Acrobat 8 or 9 Pro. For more information check out:
