With electronic documents that use formats such as PDF, // redaction typically involves removing sensitive content within documents for // safe distribution to courts, patent and government institutions, the media, // customers, vendors or any other audience with restricted access to the content. // // The redaction process in PDFNet consists of two steps: // // a) Content identification: A user applies redact annotations that specify the // pieces or regions of content that should be removed. The content for redaction // can be identified either interactively (e.g. using 'pdftron.PDF.PDFViewCtrl' // as shown in PDFView sample) or programmatically (e.g. using 'pdftron.PDF.TextSearch' // or 'pdftron.PDF.TextExtractor'). Up until the next step is performed, the user // can see, move and redefine these annotations. // b) Content removal: Using 'pdftron.PDF.Redactor.Redact()' the user instructs // PDFNet to apply the redact regions, after which the content in the area specified // by the redact annotations is removed. The redaction function includes number of // options to control the style of the redaction overlay (including color, text, // font, border, transparency, etc.). // // PDFTron Redactor makes sure that if a portion of an image, text, or vector graphics // is contained in a redaction region, that portion of the image or path data is // destroyed and is not simply hidden with clipping or image masks. PDFNet API can also // be used to review and remove metadata and other content that can exist in a PDF // document, including XML Forms Architecture (XFA) content and Extensible Metadata // Platform (XMP) content. class PDFRedactionSample { static void Redact(string input, string output, ArrayList rarr) { using (PDFDoc doc = new PDFDoc(input)) { doc.InitSecurityHandler(); Redactor.Appearance app = new Redactor.Appearance(); app.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 12); app.PositiveOverlayColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red; app.NegativeOverlayColor = System.Drawing.Color.WhiteSmoke; Redactor.Redact(doc, rarr, app); doc.Save(output, SDFDoc.SaveOptions.e_linearized); } } /// /// The following sample illustrates how to redact a PDF document using 'pdftron.PDF.Redactor'. /// static void Main(string[] args) { PDFNet.Initialize(); string input_path = "../../../../TestFiles/"; string output_path = "../../../../TestFiles/Output/"; try { ArrayList rarr = new ArrayList(); rarr.Add(new Redactor.Redaction(1, new Rect(0, 0, 600, 600), true, "Top Secret")); rarr.Add(new Redactor.Redaction(2, new Rect(30, 30, 550, 550), true, "Top Secret")); rarr.Add(new Redactor.Redaction(2, new Rect(100, 100, 200, 200), false, "bar")); rarr.Add(new Redactor.Redaction(2, new Rect(300, 300, 400, 400), false, "")); rarr.Add(new Redactor.Redaction(2, new Rect(500, 500, 600, 600), false, "")); rarr.Add(new Redactor.Redaction(3, new Rect(0, 0, 700, 20), false, "")); Redact(input_path + "newsletter.pdf", output_path + "redacted.pdf", rarr); } catch (PDFNetException e) { Console.WriteLine(e.Message); } } } }
