To create a redacted image, right-click the document and select Create redacted image.
Ensure you are satisfied with the bitmap before performing this step. Performing this action makes the bitmap a permanent part of the document, and it can no longer be moved or deleted.
If the document is black and white and the bitmap is color, a warning message is displayed. Click Yes to convert the document to color, or click No to save a black and white document with a black and white redaction. The original bitmap available for selection in the system will remain a color image.
Documents can be saved many ways before they are brought into the system. A document may have been saved as a color document, even if the only colors used are black and white. This message will only appear when you are saving a color bitmap to a true black and white document.
The redaction will only appear on the thumbnail after Create Redacted Image is selected from the right-click menu.
Creating a redacted image from a redaction bitmap differs from creating a redacted image using a redaction annotation. When you create a redacted image using a redaction annotation, a rendition is created. This means you can view the original document, as well as the redacted rendition. When you create a redacted image using a redaction bitmap, the redaction is burned directly into the original document and a rendition is not created.
