When working with any file, it is important to bear in mind that some files will contain sensitive information. When archiving digital files, it is often important to remove any sensitive data (such as social security numbers, or MICR information on checks). The attached demo written in C# using V20 of the LEADTOOLS SDK showcases how to take an input file, extract all of the text, and how to search and redact the text based off a regular expression. For the purposes of this demo, we are searching for any word containing LEAD or LEADTOOLS.

The code:
Code:

            string inputFile = @"C:\Users\Public\Documents\LEADTOOLS Images\leadtools.pdf";
            string outputFile = $@"{Path.GetDirectoryName(inputFile)}\{Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(inputFile)}-redacted.pdf";
            using (var ocrEngine = OcrEngineManager.CreateEngine(OcrEngineType.LEAD, false))
            {
               ocrEngine.Startup(null, null, null, OcrEnginePath);
               var options = new LoadDocumentOptions();
               using (var document = DocumentFactory.LoadFromFile(inputFile, options))
               {
                  document.IsReadOnly = false;
                  document.Text.OcrEngine = ocrEngine;

                  RasterImage redactedDocument = document.Pages.First().GetImage();
                  foreach(var page in document.Pages)
                  {
                     if (page.PageNumber == 1)
                        continue;
                     redactedDocument.AddPage(page.GetImage());
                  }

                  Parallel.ForEach(document.Pages, (page) =>
                  {
                     AnnContainer container = new AnnContainer();
                     var pageText = page.GetText();
                     pageText.BuildWords();

                     //Regex to search for all instances of LEADTOOLS or LEAD
                     var pattern = "(LEADTOOLS|LEAD)";
                     var rgx = new Regex(pattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
                     var annotations = new ConcurrentBag<AnnRedactionObject>();
                     Parallel.ForEach(pageText.Words, (word) =>
                     {
                        if (rgx.Match(word.Value.ToLower()).Success)
                        {
                           AnnRedactionObject redactionObject = new AnnRedactionObject();
                           redactionObject.Rect = word.Bounds;
                           redactionObject.Fill = AnnSolidColorBrush.Create("Black");
                           annotations.Add(redactionObject);
                        }
                     });

                     var imagePage = page.GetImage();
                     foreach (var annotation in annotations)
                        container.Children.Add(annotation);

                     AnnWinFormsRenderingEngine e = new AnnWinFormsRenderingEngine();
                     e.RenderOnImage(container, imagePage);

                     redactedDocument.ReplacePage(page.PageNumber, imagePage);
                  });

                  using (RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs())
                     codecs.Save(redactedDocument, outputFile, RasterImageFormat.RasPdfJpeg, 0);

                  redactedDocument.Dispose();
                  Console.WriteLine($"File has been successfully redacted, and saved to {outputFile}");
               }
            }

The attached project is a sample for the same redaction functionality in Visual Basic.

Included is a LEADTOOLS sample PDF document and an example of the output file.
