Does anyone know if there's any open-source Linux software that does redactions just like Acrobat?

Edit: Thanks a lot for your suggestions! Will check them out later 🙂

    German made - cross-platform, and renders the new PDFs as images, not text, to make sure that you can't read the redacted bits afterwards.

    Yeah, it’s called a print driver. You print the docs, redact to hell, and rescan them. That’s what they did during Trump 1. But there were actual competent people then. Now, only dumbass sycophants.

    Not open source, but I use the free demo version of PDF-xchange for the most common editing tools. Highlight and draw boxes and comment etc.

    It doesn't actually matter what you use to edit it. The key to locking it down is simply to print to pdf as image instead of saving as pdf. I use the "Microsoft print to pdf printer" to do this. It's in the printing dialogue.

    The document is now a fixed picture. This will obviously also ruin the search feature.
