Visual Redaction — Troubleshooting Troubleshooting and recovery steps for Visual Redaction. Open tool · How-to · Privacy Visual Redaction troubleshooting Common issues Rectangles not appearing: click and drag, don't just click. The minimum rectangle size is 5x5 pixels. Content visible after burn: zoom to 200% and check again. If content is truly visible, the burn did not complete — retry. Processing slow: each page is rendered at 200 DPI and composited. For 50+ page documents, expect 30-60 seconds. File too large after redaction: this is expected. Every page is now a raster image. Run Compress as a follow-up, but accept some size increase. Recovery steps Retry with a smaller sample file. Refresh and run the tool again. Use an alternative workflow from /tools if needed. Check /status for current incidents. What this does not protect Troubleshooting guidance does not guarantee recovery for damaged files. It does not bypass document owner restrictions when cryptography is enforced.
