PDF Redactor

I want to redact the first three characters of a number/text in a pdf Example - "1238793" then output pdf should have " 8793". could you please suggest on how can we achieve the same?

Any ideas on this error..?

PDF Redaction: Method not found: 'System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableArray`1 System.Reflection.Metadata.MetadataReader.GetBlobContent(System.Reflection.Metadata.BlobHandle)'.

Hello Bernard,

This seems to be little older and doesnt support with modern Windows project. Kindly let me know if there is any update on the package

Hello Bernard,

We tested this in our project and we see there are a few limitations , 

• It works on a pdf with upto 64 lines or pdf spanning for few pages. 
• It doesnt work on a pdf more than 64+ lines or on a pdf spanning multiple pages.We get a blurred pdf document as the output without masking
• Multiple occurences of the same keyword are getting highlighted.

We are on a critical project, this functionality is awesome and very helpful. We really want to move ahead with this.

But we see there are limitations, How can we progress on this?

We can connect to discuss more on this.

Thank You!

Hi , 

Is there a way that we can redact the table rows form pdf,based on one cell

Hello Bernard, this activity looks amazing!

Do you mind upload an Workflow File? It seems, that there is no actual one.

Ty for you Effort!

Hi Bernard,

Thank you for developing this activity, it's very helpfull! 

I also noticed that whenever i'm trying to redact a string that contains spaces the activity doesn't do anything. It doesn't seem to matter if i'm using a string or a RegEx pattern.

Examples:

- NL512 ABCD 1234 4321 99 is not being redacted when using this RegEx expression: "([A-Z]){2}\d{2}\s?([A-Z]){4}\s?\d{4}\s?\d{4}\s?\d{2}"

- NL512 ABCD 1234 4321 99 is not being redacted when searching for the string itself "NL512 ABCD 1234 4321 99"

Bernard,

Second the question posted below. The PDF redactor doesn't seem to redact when space characters are involved

Eg pdf containing CC number : 1234 5678 6765 5643

Regex : (\d{4})(.*)(\d{4})(.*)(\d{4})(.*)(\d{4})

Even when the regex extractor is extracting the text, and ascii conversion of the space character give 32 (ascii for space)

Eg: 1234 5678 6765 5643

Ascii Conversion post extraction: 49 50 51 52 32 53 54 55 56 32 54 55 54 53 32 53 54 52 51

Hi Benard , I am getting an error with regex and even string processing. If my regex contains space, activity doesnot redact anything.

Hi Bernard, hope your well, regarding this activity, do I have to build a workflow with the acitivty 'Redact PDF'? As I can't seem to get it working and seeing what you demo. Can I get the demo script that you used to give this a try.

cheers

Ben.
