Any plans to enhace API to redact PDF images

[venkikeesara]

Hi

Per my understanding , Currently PDF redaction supports only redacting text , If we have pdf with image/s , does this API will redact PDF document having images . If not , can you recommend any changes need to be implemented

Hi venkikeesara,
Thanks for your interest. Correct this project is all about the text rather than images. I imagine that redacting images would work in a similar way. 1) API would specify the image location (point in image or bounding box?) 2) rending in memory would locate the PDF object containing the image 3) filtering would strip that object.
If you do this please send me a link to your work.
Best regards,
Neil
