Question:
In the example let's say I wanted to whiteout the word "Name" after "Company", and replace it with "Address".

Answers:
Method 1:

Add a comment text box, with a white fill in color and white border to white out "Name" after Company.

Create the text "Address", then drag it over the white box.

Redact the area you want to cover

Set redact property "Redacted Area Fill Color" to background color

Create the text you wanted, type the text, then drag it over the white box.

Or create a comment text box, type the text, then flatten the text box.

Go to PDF toolbar "Content Edit", and select "Edit Content" under group "Tools"

Select the text you want to white out/override.

Delete the selected text by pressing DELETE\Backspace key.

Enter the text.

Create a white space image file

Import it into your pdf using "Add Image"

Alter the size as required, and move to the area you want to cover.

Create a text layer using "Add Text" which you can move over your white image.

Analysis:
Some solutions are using commenting text box. Text box will be a visible alteration in editing and commenting mode and can be shifted by the receiver, revealing that a workaround was used. Using text box or image to cover the area, the original text content is still there, users are easy to get it using text copy paste function. To protect sensitive information, you'd better choose redaction function.
