I have he most recent version of Acrobat Pro XI. I'm editing scanned documents (newpaper pages) to redact SSN so I can post content to web. I'm using search and redact by pattern and the program finds SSN that are 9 digits on the same line. It fails to recognize instance where the SSN carries over to the next line.
Assuming there isn't a simple fix, I thought it might be possible to resolve with this apporach: The program successfully finds the string "S. S. No." that preceeds the SSN regardless if is on the same line or carries over. It might be possible to find that string and then redact the next 12 characters. Not sure how or if that would be possible as I am a novice user.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
