Is redacted content permanently removed?

Yes, redaction permanently removes the underlying content from the PDF. Once saved, the redacted information cannot be recovered.

Can I redact specific patterns like phone numbers or emails?

Yes, you can use pattern matching to automatically find and redact sensitive information like phone numbers, email addresses, and other personal data.

How is redaction different from covering text with a black box?

Redaction permanently deletes the underlying data, while a black box only visually hides it. True redaction ensures sensitive information is completely removed from the file.
