What does it mean to redact a PDF?
To put it simply, to redact is just to make a specific kind of edit. The word redact can be used to describe censoring or obscuring a part of text to protect someone’s personal information. There are many benefits to redacting a PDF, including the ability to select and remove text, images, and other objects. Redaction tools help you search for text and delete it if needed. You can add additional security measures by removing sensitive information such as social security numbers or zip codes from a document.

How to remove redaction marks from a PDF on Android
When using a PDF editor, two different documents will be saved — the original and the redacted PDF. You can easily remove the redaction marks from the original document in a few simple steps.
- Click the Edit tab and select Redact Text & Images.
- You can now add new redactions or take away existing ones.
- Once removed, the colored bars will disappear, and the information underneath can be seen.
- This will only work if you have access to the original PDF. When a file is saved with applied redactions, you cannot get the information back. If the original PDF with the redacted version is overwritten, the redacted information cannot be recovered.
