            Bug ID: 489299
           Summary: Add redaction Tool
    Classification: Applications
           Product: okular
           Version: 22.12.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Other
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: PDF backend
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: kde at moritz.poldrack.dev
  Target Milestone: ---

Sometimes it is necessary to redact a document before sending it. To do that
with Okular right now is:

- set highlighter to black
- highlight Text to redact
- draw black rectangle over images to redact
- flatten document with Ghostscript, so text can't be marked anymore

This has some obvious drawbacks:
1. As a multistep process, it's relatively easy to forget, for example, the
flattening afterwards.
2. The flattening affects the entire document and makes all text unmarkable
