One of the reasons for redaction is to protect your confidential information from landing into unauthorized hands. This feature therefore does not make it possible to undo redaction in PDF once you have redacted. Redaction involves a lot more than just hiding and masking texts and images. Once you have redacted PDF documents rest assured of safety and security of the information that you would prefer kept private. No one can undo the process of redaction to get to your redacted texts and images, which makes this editing feature the best and secure formatting tool to hide sensitive information from everyone else.
