Step 1: Change all redacted text’s font color to white (so, you know, nobody can see it).

Step 2: Publish the PDF, with all redacted text still included, online (Pro Tip: be sure not to enable the feature in PDF documents that disallows copying and pasting of text).

Step 3: Hope nobody decides to, let’s say, copy-and-paste said redacted text into a text editor, revealing confidential information to AP reporters.
