Privacy – Permanently locking a flattened document
Hello! If I am blacking out content with black markup boxes and then flatten my document, how do I ensure whoever I send it to can’t unflatten it and see the hidden content?
Also, how do I erase the digital footprint of the content so that someone can’t search for text that they think may be behind the blacked out sections?
Thank you for any help!

you should be using the Redact function rather than blacking them out and flattening.
Edit> PDF Content> Mark for Redaction (<Shift> +R)
apply your redaction boxes
Edit> PDF Content> Apply Redactions (<Shift> + A)This will stop anyone being able to search for underlying text.
