How to remove redactions from a PDF on iPhone

Once your content is processed, you won’t be able to remove the redactions from the document using Xodo.

To prevent accidental redactions or errors, consider these tips:

• Always save a copy: Keep a copy of your original PDF or save the redacted version as a separate file. This way, you retain a version with all your sensitive information if needed.
• Use a physical copy: Print out a copy of your document and redact the paper version instead of the digital one. This ensures you have an unaltered original.
• Revise before saving: You can only remove or revise redactions before saving the PDF. In Xodo, use the Undo button in the upper right corner to remove any redactions if you change your mind.
