Feature request to allow setting "None" as Redation Color in the Redact Regions tool of PDF-Tools

Post by rakunavi »

Hello all,

In PDF-XChange Editor, when using the Mark for Redaction tool, you can set "None" as the Redation Color. In contrast, when applying the Redact Regions tool in PDF-Tools, you cannot specify "None" as Redation Color, and you have no choice but to select some color.

For example, if you select white as shown in the verification video, if you check the internal structure in the Contents pane, you will see that there is a Path under XForm. It would be appreciated to be able to set "None" as Redation Color in PDF-Tools as well, since this difference can make a difference when combining other tasks.

Hello rakunavi,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. The unavailability of the "None" color is a bug; it has been fixed and will be available in the upcoming build.
