Question 1

Why can’t I redact PDF?

Accepted Answer

Standard PDF viewers and editors often don't provide proper redaction, making it difficult to securely redact data from the PDF file. Furthermore, insufficient knowledge of redaction techniques and best practices can potentially lead to unintentional exposure of sensitive information.

One solution for secure PDF redaction is Xodo. It allows you to permanently redact confidential information in your PDF files on your device locally. You can use Xodo to blackout specific text, phrases and even entire pages.

Question 2

Is redacted PDF content permanently removed?

Accepted Answer

Whether redacted PDF content is permanently removed depends on the type of redaction applied.

If the redaction involved adding a black rectangle over the PDF text or data, the information is not deleted and can potentially be revealed.

If a secure PDF editing tool like Xodo was used to apply redaction, the sensitive information in your PDF is, indeed, permanently removed and cannot be recovered.
