On: Don't use text pixelation to redact sensitive info...

[core-utility]

I always get a little paranoid with a solid bar even. For example, if I'm trying to block my SSN on a PDF out, I don't trust that the block won't stay a mutable block when saving it. I tend to "print" a new PDF in hopes that it flattens the document.

I wouldn't count on that. A well-implemented print-to-PDF feature will try to avoid rasterising whenever possible.

If you want to turn your document (whether in PDF format or something else) into a raster image, there are proper tools for that.
