Removing Sensitive Data from Paper Documents

Is anyone aware of a technique that will allow you to modify a paper record to make the personal identifying 
information unreadable while keeping the rest of the document intact? Aside from cutting the information from the 
document (which is not practical), are there special markers, pens or white-out designed for this purpose?

In an effort to comply with MA 201 CMR, we would like to remove PI from certain paper files, while keeping the document 
intact.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
