If you succeed on a feint action against a target with uncanny dodge, and assuming you don't meet the +4 levels of rogue needed to get rid of UD normally, do they lose their dex bonus?

If you succeed on a feint action against a target with uncanny dodge, and assuming you don't meet the +4 levels of rogue needed to get rid of UD normally, do they lose their dex bonus?Uncanny Dodge allows a character to retain their Dex bonus to AC if they would be denied that bonus for the conditions UD states.

That is : The defender is flat-footed.
The defender cannot see the attacker.Feinting does not make the attacker invisible, or the defender flat-footed. Therefore Uncanny Dodge offers no protection against being Feinted.

Skill in sensing the motives of others, perceptiveness and good combat training are what protect against feints.
