Safari redacts web page content

Why are there ridiculous Redactions on Safari web pages? It used to be the best way to save a web page was: File>Print>PDF>Save as PDF and I would get a clean Acrobat document. Now, opening a webpage there are certain lines highlighted in blue and when I save, those lines are redacted with a black bar over the words.

And content doesn’t involve security or money issues. The redactions are ridiculous in nature!

Is this another caveat of subversive Sequoia OS? Is this a naive AI thing?

How do I disable this redaction device?

Control Click on the PDF after you have saved it and choose the Open With... option and select Preview. Make sure to do this before opening/saving with Acrobat. If you don't see the redactions there, then you know it is Adobe Acrobat where they are being applied and Adobe would be the best resource for a resolution, although there may be some setting that can be shut off in the app.

There are no AI Writing Tools in Sequoia, but Adobe Acrobat does have it.
