            Bug ID: 127126
           Summary: UI:Redaction Toolbar, "Export Directly as PDF" should
                    either export a redacted pdf with 100% transparency or
                    be renamed to "Preview PDF Export"
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.0.4 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

There are multiple complaints in reviews of the Redaction toolbar about having
the "Direct to PDF" button exporting documents with 50% transparency on the
redaction bars. Namely on Arstchenica review of 6.3 and on Dedoimedo's review.

 "The one thing that baffles me is that default redaction comes at 50%
transparency, so you actually need to change that before you blank the text.
But then I'm still wondering how effective this really is, because the actual
text still exists, and it's only hidden behind a layer of color. All in all, it
works, but there should be more magic to it."

Proposals:

1 - Change the "Export Directly as PDF" to export completely redacted documents
with the black bars and not 50% transparent bars. In essence what the "Redacted
Export (black)" does currently. Change the current "Export Directly as PDF"
action to the drop-down button and name it "Export Preview PDF";

2 - Rename the "Export Directly as PDF" to "Export Preview PDF". This is to
address Thomas Lendo rationale that naming the button "Preview" and having a
different preview action than in Calc or Writer is a problem. 
By naming it "Export Preview PDF" the user knows that they are not exporting a
final redacted version (I would also include a tooltip mentioning that this
export, the redaction boxes have 50% transparency).
