BERLIN, BERLIN, GERMANY, February 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The PDF Association, the trade organization representing the global PDF technology industry, today announced the release of a new educational video titled “Explaining Redaction,” now available on YouTube. In this new video, CEO Duff Johnson and CTO Peter Wyatt focus on the most commonly-seen redaction mistake and then describe exactly what’s going on and how redacting PDF is done right. Viewers are guided with expert commentary through a real-world example to demystify a procedure that’s essential to legal, governmental, corporate, and regulatory environments – and where even the government makes mistakes.
The video offers a clear, accessible explanation of redaction – the process of removing sensitive information from documents – and explains exactly why hiding content in PDF files is not the same as redacting content.
“Redaction is a core component of responsible data management and privacy protection,” said Duff Johnson. “Our goal with this video is to give the general public a practical understanding of what redaction means in PDF files.”
This release aligns with the PDF Association’s mission to support awareness of critical aspects of ubiquitous PDF technology, helping individuals and companies strengthen information handling and privacy protocols.
