Hello,
quick question about redactions. I applied redactions in my pdf document using PDF-XChange Editor and shared that document. Can the redactions be undone or can someone see what's behind the redaction or is the redaction permanent? How does redaction work in PDF-XChange Editor?
thanks.

Re: redactions
Hello, kumar
If the redaction has been "applied" after placement, than all items below the redacted area, including sections of images, are completely scrubbed from the document and once that file is saved (which you would need to do to send it) the data cannot be recovered with anything short of some file version management software.
If you only "placed" the redaction boxes, and did not choose to "apply" them, than anyone can remove the redaction area, and none of the content below it would still be fully intact.
Kind regards,
