- 07:30 amHow to easily redact text in a PDF on your Mac
Macworld Widely used PDF files capture text and images nearly exactly as they display in the application that created them. The format is designed to store text and both bitmapped and vector images, with the text available for searching, copying, and even editing in the proper app. That “copying” part can lead to oceans of trouble when people try to remove details from a PDF before distribution—redacting details from a court case, government documents, or even inter-company communications—by drawing black boxes over the words and paragraphs they want to protect. In most cases, however, drawing boxes over text in a PDF just adds the boxes—it doesn’t delete the text underneath them. Someone who would like to extract the text beneath the obfuscation can just drag over the area with a selection tool or select Select All on the page. The copied text can then be pasted into a word processor or text editor. Proper redaction can prevent embarrassing, proprietary, or secret information from leaking out, as in a court case involving an associate of Rudolph Giuliani. While the text appears removed in places, a reader can select the range, copy it, and paste it into another document to read it in full. These black-box overlays have led to embarrassing and legally disastrous situations stretching back a couple of decades. Three notable incidents: the accidental release of information in a filing in 2011 in long-running litigation between Apple and Samsung, the disclosure of key allegations in the Paul Manafort prosecution in 2019 alleging his connection to a purported Russian-connected associate—and on May 25, 2021, when information was revealed when CNN performed a copy and paste in filings by attorneys for a defendant in a case that involves former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani. If you need to remove text from a document from a PDF before sending it—and you can’t simply eliminate information in the source document used to create the PDF and make a fresh one—you can turn to several apps to snip secret, legally prohibited, embarrassing, or proprietary text out of a PDF before sending it on its way. How to redact in macOS Preview Preview warns if you try to draw over text, since that doesn’t actually remove it from a PDF (top). Instead, use the Redact tool, which also explains itself. Apple added a redaction tool and redaction-related warnings in Preview for macOS Big Sur in 2020. You’ll notice this whenever you select certain tools in Preview’s Markup toolbar. Display that editing toolbar by choosing View > Show Markup Toolbar or clicking the Markup icon at the right-hand side of the standard toolbar, just to the left of the Search field. Click any item in the Shapes menu, including a line of the thickness in the sixth or seventh heaviest options, and Preview prompts you with a warning: “The content behind this annotation will not be deleted.” It advises you to use the new Redact selection tool. Most of the tools in Shapes (outlined in a red rectangle) will provoke a redaction warning, as they don’t remove text; select the Redact tool (marked with a red arrow) instead. Select that tool and you receive a different alert: “Redacted content is permanently removed.” Apple further explains: “Any content marked for redaction will be permanently deleted when the document is closed.” (With both those warnings, you can check a box so you never see them again, too.) Drag with the Redact selection tool across the text, and a black bar with an X’d pattern appears. Save, and that text can’t be recovered from that version of the file, although you can use File > Revert To to select a previous version before redaction or pull a copy out of a Time Machine backup. Apple added more powerful PDF tools with macOS Sonoma, including intelligent form detection and enhanced AutoFill, so Preview may be all you need for PDF editing. Redaction in Preview uses a distinctive pattern. It’s permanent when you save the file. How to redact in Adobe Acrobat Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (part of a Creative Cloud subscription) also offers a redaction tool, available via Edit > Redact Text & Images. Adobe warns you about how the feature works when you first select it. Acrobat lets you know that text will be permanently removed, and offers a sanitization option, too. With the tool selected, you can drag over both text and images, which Acrobat marks up with a red outline to indicate it will be completely removed when the file is saved. Acrobat provides a new file name with the word “Redacted” inserted when you next manually save the file to prevent overwriting your original. Acrobat also includes a “sanitize” feature, which removes a variety of hidden metadata, such as the document’s author, which is often pre-filled with the name of the person using the computer or app; invisible but searchable text layers that are created when a document is imported as a set of images, and the text is algorithmically identified; and any text that runs off a page or is entirely off in the margins and can’t be selected. Top: Acrobat shows the text selection for redaction before the file is saved. Bottom: The saved file now shows blacks bars (with no hidden text). Sanitization is automatically selected when you apply redaction, though you can flip a switch to disable it. You separately sanitize without redacting any visible text by clicking Sanitize Document. Redact with PDFPen and PDFPen Pro Smile’s PDFPen and PDFPen Pro feature redaction, too. You can either select text via Tools > Select Text or a region via Tools > Select Rectangle Tool and then apply Format > Redact Text – Block. The resulting image has been scrubbed. PDFPen has you select the text or a region using a standard tool first, and then apply redaction through a menu option. Both versions also offer Format > Redact Text – Erase, which removes the text leaving areas of white behind instead of black. This may be preferable in documents with a white background.

Macworld If you’re an older user looking to pick up an iPad or someone wanting to gift an Apple tablet to Grandad or Grandma, which is the best iPad to choose? There’s a fair selection in the current Apple catalog, from the diminutive iPad mini all the way up to the incredibly powerful (not to mention very expensive) iPad Pro. It can be intimidating, especially as different users have different needs. To help you make sense of it all, here’s our guide to finding the best iPad for seniors. What makes an iPad good for older users? iPad owners don’t magically transform into timid technophobes on their 70th birthdays, and there isn’t one right answer to this question. Any iPad model might turn out to be the right choice for a specific older user, depending on that user’s precise requirements. But there are a few criteria that tend to become more of a factor when our bodies begin to age. Screen size is one element, with eyes not being as strong as they once were. Weight/portability can also become more important; some older users have arthritis, while others find they tire more easily than they used to when using a tablet for extended periods of time. We will also want to think carefully about price versus power and features, since you don’t want to spend lots of money on a device with capabilities you’ll never really use. But, as we say, these can be true for any user, so it’s always best to talk to the person in question about their particular needs if you want to pick the perfect tablet. If you were to put us on the spot, however, we do have some thoughts about the iPads that are most likely to suit an older user. Here’s our selection. Best affordable option: iPad (2022, 10th generation) Pros Affordable A14 Bionic processor Support for Apple Pencil (USB and 1st Gen) Solid performance Cons No Home button Base 64GB storage is quite low Price When Reviewed: From $349 (64GB) | $499 (256GB) (was $449 and $599) Best Prices Today: $299 at Amazon$299 at Best Buy$299.99 at Target At $349, the 10th-gen iPad may well be the cheapest iPad model in Apple’s current lineup, but that doesn’t mean it’s a truly ‘budget’ device in the pejorative sense. For many (perhaps most) people, this iPad will deliver everything you want from a tablet and not cost you a small fortune in the process. Apple’s A14 Bionic chip powers the iPad and it’s ideal for surfing the web, watching streaming services, and shopping online. It’s an older processor–Apple is using more-recent M-series chips in the more-expensive iPad Air and iPad Pro, but it’s a chip that should be supported by Apple for a few more years. For FaceTime calls there’s a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera that offers advanced features such as Center Stage (which allows you to move around on video calls while the iPad tracks you so you don’t disappear out of view) and 1080p video. This iPad was the first to place the camera on the longer side of the iPad, so when you use it, the iPad should be in landscape mode. Why are these features particularly good for seniors? Well, having an excellent video-call experience will allow them to keep in touch with the grandkids, friends or family around the world, without looking grainy or like they’re calling from the early 2000s. The 10.9-inch display is also large enough for eyes that might be starting to diminish, while the touch targets on the screen will be easy to hit with unsteady hands. Of course, many seniors are full of more life and vigor than their grandchildren, and the ability to connect an Apple Smart keyboard and first-gen Apple Pencil makes this a perfect companion for traveling while writing memoirs or creating art. It’s also the only remaining iPad to feature a headphone jack, which could be very useful if the intended recipient hasn’t yet embraced the wireless charms of the AirPods or AirPod Pros. Another major change Apple made with the 10th-gen iPad (in addition to moving the front-facing camera) is that it no longer has a Home button. iPadOS features many great swipe gestures for navigating through apps and menus, and to get to the Home screen, you swipe up from the bottom center of the display. Touch ID is now located on the power button. The 10th-gen iPad comes in these storage options, priced as follows: 64GB: $349/£349 256GB: $499/£499 If you want to add cellular capabilities then those are also available: 64GB (cellular): $499/£499 256GB (cellular): $649/£649 It isn’t just the best choice for older users, but probably for most users. If you prefer an iPad with a Home button, you can probably find a 9th-generation iPad, which is the last one with a Home button, You may be able to find stock at a third-party retailer. Apple sells refurbished iPads in its Certified Refurbished Store (U.S. or U.K.) but the inventory availability fluctuates a lot, so it may not be in stock when you check. Be sure to check back at a later time. Read our full 10th-gen 10.9-inch iPad (2022) review Best lightweight option: iPad mini (A17 Pro) Pros Lightweight Modern design A17 Pro processor Cons Smaller screen size 128GB storage on base model Price When Reviewed: $499 (128GB; Wi-Fi only) | $599 (256GB; Wi-Fi only) | $799 (512GB; Wi-Fi only) Best Prices Today: $478 at Amazon$499 at Apple$499 at Apple United States It’s a sad fact that as we age our bodies can lose some of their strength or gain some conditions that we avoided when younger. If you’re looking for a lightweight iPad, and therefore easier to hold for longer periods, then the iPad mini (A17 Pro) is the one to choose. At around 0.65lbs/293g it’s roughly half the weight of the 10th gen iPad discussed above. This is made possible, as the name suggests, by the smaller display. But the 8.3-inch panel is still an excellent size for the web, not to mention better as an e-reader thanks to being easier to hold. Under the hood, the iPad mini is a powerhouse, with an A17 Pro chip (as seen in the iPhone 15 Pro), 5G capabilities on the LTE models, and powerful cameras with the same Ultra Wide front-facing module as on the 10th-gen iPad. It’s compatible with the Apple Pencil (USB-C) and the Apple Pencil Pro and various Bluetooth keyboards, so you can use it like a small laptop if you want to get stuff done. It’s a lovely package that offers the most portable solution for those who want to take their iPad with them. The iPad mini (A17 Pro) is available in these configurations: iPad mini (A17 Pro, Wi-Fi) 128GB: $499/£499 iPad mini (A17 Pro, Wi-Fi) 256GB: $599/£599 iPad mini (A17 Pro, Wi-Fi) 512GB: $799/£799 iPad mini (A17 Pro, Wi-Fi + cellular) 128GB: $649/£649 iPad mini (A17 Pro, Wi-Fi + cellular) 256GB: $749/£749 iPad mini (A17 Pro, Wi-Fi + cellular) 512GB: $949/£949 Check our guide to the best iPad mini deals to see if you can get one for a lower price. Read our full Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro) review Best all-rounder: iPad (2022, 10th generation) Pros 10.9-inch Liquid Retina Display Modern design Landscape camera Various colors USB-C port Cons Higher price than previous generations 64GB of storage on base modell Price When Reviewed: From $449 Best Prices Today: $449 at Apple The newest device on this list is the 10th generation iPad, which arrived in October 2022 without the Home button design of its forebears and follows the aesthetic established by iPad mini and iPad Air. Although the Home button is gone, this iPad still features Touch ID, it’s just that the sensor is now part of the power button that resides on the top edge of the device. This allows Apple to fit a large 10.9-inch Liquid Retina Display into a chassis that’s almost the same size as the 9th generation iPad, which has a 10.2-inch screen. This increased screen real estate will be attractive to those who prefer larger fonts and should make tapping on-screen buttons a little easier for unsteady hands. One of the main new features, aside from the overall design, is that Apple has finally moved the front-facing camera from the traditional top bezel to the longer side one. This essentially turns it from portrait to landscape, hence the name Landscape Ultra Wide camera. The upside of this is that you can sit the iPad on its longer side when making FaceTime calls, which will have you looking into the middle of the camera rather than it being off to the side. There’s also support for Centre-Stage, so if you move around, the software will keep you in the center of the shot. This makes it the best iPad for FaceTime calls with family. The included A14 Bionic chip, which previously powered the iPhone 12 range (including the Pro models), means there’s plenty of performance available for most. You can use the 1st generation Apple Pencil on this device, and the new USB-C port opens up a world of peripherals you can plug into the iPad. These include keyboards, external storage, and even monitors if you want a pseudo-desktop PC. One drawback of this switch is that owners of a 1st generation Apple Pencil will need to buy an adaptor to be able to charge it from the iPad. If you buy a new Pencil from Apple, the adapter is now included in the box. The iPad comes in four attractive colors (Blue, Pink, Yellow, and Silver). These are the available configurations: 64GB: $349/£349 256GB: $499/£499 64GB (cellular): $499/£499 256GB (cellular): $649/£649 As with the other iPads on this list, you might want to consider opting for the 256GB storage variant, as 64GB can fill up pretty quickly if you like to store photos and videos on the device itself. Apple also offers a new keyboard case called the Magic Keyboard Folio, which is nice but costs an eye-watering $249/£279, so we’d advise looking for cheaper (and often just as good) third-party products instead. See our iPad keyboard roundup. Like the iPad mini the iPad may also get an update in 2024. For more information, take a look at our Everything you need to know about the iPad 10.9-inch (10th Generation) guide. Best performance option: 11-inch iPad Air (2024) Pros M2 processor USB-C port Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) support Smart connector Cons Getting expensive Price When Reviewed: $599 (128GB, Wi-Fi only) Best Prices Today: $551 at Amazon$599 at Apple$599 at Apple United States While it’s true that the iPad Pro models are the most powerful iPads available, for most people they are simply overkill. Also, they come with Pro-level prices, which isn’t great if you’re only going to use them to watch videos and FaceTime the grandkids. For the more discerning user who requires plenty of power but at a reasonable price, the iPad Air is an excellent solution. There’s not much to differentiate the 10th-gen iPad and the 11-inch iPad Air. but, when you look closely, you can see from where the extra expense comes. The two devices are around the same size, and both sport a Liquid Retina display, but the one on the Air is fully-laminated, so there’s no air-gap between the glass and digitizer, which makes it feel like you’re touching the actual pixels and makes using the compatible Apple Pencil (2nd gen) that much smoother. They feature the same 12MP cameras on the back and front on the longer side of the device. But, under the hood the Air has the incredibly powerful M2 processor, which was previously found in the last generation of iPad Pros, not to mention several recent Macs. This takes things to another level. If someone wants to play games, use graphically intensive apps or just wants a really fast user experience, then the M2 delivers that in spades. The iPad Air has often been called the iPad Pro for normal people, and that’s exactly what it is. The USB-C port allows you to connect various external devices, such as storage or monitors, so it can easily transform into a laptop with a processor that’s desktop-class. Apple offers the sleek Magic Keyboard folio case, but at $299/£319 it’s way overpriced, so we’d suggest a third-party Bluetooth keyboard and case as a more frugal option. The iPad Air base configuration has 128GB of storage, twice that of the base 10th-gen iPad. That should be plenty for most people; you can rely on iCloud storage if you’re worried that you’ll run out of space. You can also go with the more expensive 256GB configuration. You can pick up the 11-inch iPad Air in the following configurations: iPad Air (2024, Wi-Fi) 128GB: $599/£599 iPad Air (2024, Wi-Fi) 256GB: $699/£699 iPad Air (2024, Wi-Fi) 512GB: $899/£899 iPad Air (2024, Wi-Fi) 1TB: $1,099/£1,099 iPad Air (2024, Wi-Fi + Cellular) 128GB: $749/£749 iPad Air (2024, Wi-Fi + Cellular) 256GB: $849/£849 iPad Air (2024, Wi-Fi + Cellular) 512GB: $1,049/£1,049 iPad Air (2024, Wi-Fi + Cellular) 1TB: $1,249/£1,249 Also read our roundup of the best iPad Air deals too, so you don’t miss out on any great offers. Read our full Apple iPad Air 11-inch (M2, 2024) review Best luxury option: iPad Pro (2024) Pros Insanely powerful Best iPads money can buy ProMotion displays Cons Very expensive Too much power for most people Price When Reviewed: $999 (Wi-Fi only) Best Prices Today: $999 at Apple$1099 at Best Buy$1,154.49 at Amazon For those to whom money is no object or require the highest-end performance an iPad can deliver, the iPad Pro is the only choice. Recently upgraded to the latest M4 processor, these are devices that absolutely fly. Every appointment is top-notch, from the Ultra Retina XDR display with super-smooth ProMotion technology to the USB-C ports that support Thunderbolt 4. These are Pro devices. With that is the caveat that most people won’t necessarily see these benefits unless they are using pro-level apps that push the device hard. The Pro comes in two sizes, 11-inch and 13-inch, with the latter being an absolute whopper. If you need a large screen then this is as big as it gets. Apple offers a 13-inch iPAd Air that’s cheaper, but its screen isn’t as nice as the Pro, and the Air is actually heavier than the Pro. (Go figure.) To anyone other than a professional designer, animator, or digital specialist who can harness the power of the iPad Pros, these are simply too much and your money would be better spent on the iPad Air. But, if that’s you or you just want a luxury iPad to enjoy, then this is the premium end of the street. The iPad Pro 11-inch (2024) is available in the following configurations: 256GB: $999/£999 512GB: $1,199/£1,199 1TB: $1,599/£1,599 2TB: $1,999/£1,999 If you want 5G cellular capabilities, then these are the options: 256GB (Cellular): $1,199/£1,199 512GB (Cellular): $1,399/£1,399 1TB (Cellular): $1,799/£1,799 2TB (Cellular): $2,199/£2,199 The iPad Pro 13-inch (2024) is available in these configurations: 256GB: $1,299/£1,299 512GB: $1,499/£1,499 1TB: $1,899/£1,899 2TB: $2,299/£2,299 Here are the prices for the cellular-equipped models: 256GB (Cellular): $1,499/£1,499 512GB (Cellular): $1,699/£1,699 1TB (Cellular): $2,099/£2,099 2TB (Cellular): $2,499/£2,499 Check out our roundup of the best iPad Pro deals to see if you can get a good bargain on these flagship devices.
