  2. In the Redaction Tool Properties dialog box, set the following options:
    • Mark Color: Set the color for redacted areas.
    • Overlay Text. Set Font characters, Custom text, and the Redaction Code for redacted areas. See Setting Redaction Codes.
  3. Click OK to apply settings.

  • Font Size: Set the size of the overlay text font.
  • Font Color: Set the color of the overlay text font.
