Why use PDFAmend instead of just deleting text?

'Delete' in most PDF tools draws a white rectangle — the original text is still in the file and can sometimes be selected. PDFAmend's Redact erases the source text and covers it with opaque black.

Can I undo a redaction before downloading?

Yes — Ctrl+Z undoes the last edit. Redactions are only permanent in the downloaded PDF, not while editing.
