            Bug ID: 127969
           Summary: new Redact function produces merely readable text
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: breg at kanka.de

Description:
The redact feature was introduced in Libreoffice 6.3
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.3#New_Feature:_Redaction
"As a result, you will have a pixellized version of the redacted document in
PDF. There will be no selectable text in it, and the redacted content will be
non-existent."

Yes, and the pixelisation makes the text almost unreadble - coarse, uneven
spacing, ugly. 
If a complete conversion to a bitmap is neccessary (what I doubt) there should
be the option to choose the dpi.
Technically it should be possible to copy text not marked as 'redacted' into
the export document - as text, not bitmap. 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools > Redact
2. Redacted export
3. Open PDF in any viewer

Actual Results:
ugly text

Expected Results:
clear text


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
