Are there QR Codes in the "redeem" boxes that you have blanked out?
![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
If there are, then you should try and scan them using a wallet like
Electrum that supports QR code scanning... you can use either the Desktop version (with a webcam) or the Android version.
When you create the new wallet, you select "Import Bitcoin Addresses or Private keys" and then select the little camera icon:
Desktop:

Android:

It's possible that the 6 word "passphrase" you have is actually a BIP3
8 passphrase, encrypting the private key... so, if you scan the "Redeem" and it comes up with a key that starts with "6P", then you'll need to decrypt that key...
I would recommend
downloading an "offline" copy of bitaddress.org (or visit their github:
https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org)
Then on the wallet details page, enter the BIP38 encrypted key (starts with 6P) and click view details:

It will prompt for the "BIP38" password:

Enter the 6 word passphrase from your PDF and click the "Decrypt BIP38" button... and hopefully that will decode it and show you the "normal" unencrypted private key:

You can test the BIP38 decryption process using this dummy BIP38 encrypted key:
BIP38 encrypted key: 6PYRJRTWwrPC7scdAPcWN9dujLRKVdMRYuKmhXuefzQGKXvqNe8Gjo7uLQ
BIP38 password: This is my password
It should decrypt these addresses/private keys:
