Hi @Farhan.Raza

Thank you for your response.
Here is the code that I am using:

using (var doc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(“url”))
{
var annot = new RedactionAnnotation(doc.Pages[1], new Rectangle(67.909, 802.363, 67.909 + 53.955, 802.363 + 6.977))
{
FillColor = Color.Black,
BorderColor = Color.Black,
Color = Color.Black
};
doc.Pages[1].Annotations.Add(annot);
annot.Redact();

                doc.Save(pdfFilePath);
            }

And I also attach the source and generated file

Thank you for sharing requested data.

We would like to share with you that the other black rectangle is created because of Redact method. It flattens the annotation and redacts page contents (i.e. removes text and image under redacted annotation). While removing text contents it places the black rectangle in place of it. If you want to avoid this rectangle, then you can call Flatten method instead of Redact method.

We hope this will clarify any ambiguity. Please feel free to contact us if you need any further assistance.
