How to hide (white out) some portions in a pdf file

How to hide (white out) some portions in a pdf file before printing?

We may have come across following situation.

You may want to print a research article or any file (which is in .pdf format).

But it may have a lot of pictures that may completely empty your cartridge. You may want to print other portions without this image. Also you may want hide certain portion of the text when you take print out.

Of course. You can do these with the Acrobat Reader (from Adobe)
But, How to do these in the free version of the Adobe Reader?

Here is a simple way.


  1. Open the file in Adobe Reader
  2. Go to Edit --> Paste
  3. A rectangular box will appear (with some text which is typed by you recently)
  4. Adjust the corners/sides of the box so that it hides entire Figure/portion that you want to hide
  5. You may delete the text or you may type some text inside this box
  6. You can also change the color of the outline by right clicking on the box and changing the property.


Hope it helps.
