What does “redact” mean in PDF?
If done correctly, no you cannot un-redact a document. That said, many people do not redact documents correctly. In the case of digital documents, some people don’t use specialized redaction software and just draw boxes over, or change the background color behind sensitive information. A simple “select all, copy, paste” will reveal the hidden information. Redactions placed using specialized software will remove the original content as well as inserting a black box placeholder. In the case of paper documents, I’ve seen some hasty redactions that could be uncovered through the low tech method of holding the document up to a bright light. More technical and expensive options exist, but are only occasionally effective and usually not easily accessible.
Redact PDF: All You Need to Know
In addition to using software, some people use a black sharpie to draw a big “X” oversensitive information and redact it completely, with the rest hidden. Finally, if you choose to redact documents carefully, you should not include specific information. A basic rule of thumb is not to include specific information if you do not have a specific reason. In addition to redacting personal information, there are other forms of information to consider, such as confidential financial information and employee information that might expose you as an employee or the names of current or former family members. If your redactions contain private information, including financial information, try to obtain prior written permission to include the information. If the redaction is made by a court, you should have the court record or judicial order in hand to show that the material will not be a confidential or sensitive information. Once.
