"Redaction" now removes "Distance Measurement" Build 322.5

Post by roger_morris »

Recently updated to Build 322.5 and have a issue with "Redaction" removing my "Distance Tool Measurement". After creating my measurement I wish to redact the area taken up by the text in the measurement to make it more readable. Now I am finding Redaction not only removes the underlying layers which are flattened but also the whole of the distance measurement which has not been flattened. I have not experienced this type behavior with previous versions. My understanding was if it is not flattened and still a comment it would not be removed by "Redaction".
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated as I use "Distance Tool Measure Measurement" for the majority of tasks when using PDF- XChange Editor.

Hello Roger,

Currently, Redaction does indeed remove everything it touches. Because a portion of an annotation cannot be removed, the result is the full removal of the annotation. I've spoken with the dev team and they have agreed to add an option to ignore annotations when redacting.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Cheers!

Hello Roger,

Just a quick update that we have made some changes, and from the next build (323 -the first for version 7) there will be a checkbox "Keep comments even when redacted".

Cheers,
Stefan

Hello Stefan

Has the checkbox you mentioned been implemented yet, as I am unable to locate it.

My present build is 325.1

Cheers,
Roger
