Property Value

When enabled, new PdfWhiteoutShape objects will also redact searchable text inside the object's bounds (e.g. Left, Top, Width, Height).

Setting this property to true will also show an option to toggle the text redaction feature on a per object level (RedactText) when viewing the properties of PdfWhiteoutShape objects.

This feature has important limitations to consider when using. Please use at your own risk!

Redaction is limited to searchable text content in the page. Image and vector content will not be removed at this time (but may be in a future release). This means that images of text or text which has been vectorized will remain in the output PDF document!

Any character / glyph touching or inside the bounds of the newly added PdfWhiteoutShapes will be removed from the page content stream. This may cause unexpected results if text is overlapping or close together.

Additionally, no redaction will be done on any metadata, annotations, form fields, file attachments, or other aspects of the PDF.

This feature should NOT be not be relied upon for any mission-critical uses or anywhere occasional content errors can not be tolerated. This feature has limitations and may not always fully remove the desired content as expected.

As redaction tools continue to improve, the default value or behavior may change in a future release!
