Pre-rasterize Leave feedback
On this page
In some cases, you might need to pre-rasterize the document before opening it and applying redactions.
For instance, you might need to use an ImageAreaRedaction for a whole page of a document with search-able text and images. In order to do that, you will need to pass the Boolean flag to the LoadOptions class constructor.
The following example demonstrates how to pre-rasterize a Microsoft Word document:
from groupdocs.redaction import Redactor, RedactionStatus
from groupdocs.redaction.options import SaveOptions
from groupdocs.redaction.redactions import ExactPhraseRedaction, ReplacementOptions
def pre_rasterize_document():
# Specify the redaction options
repl_opt = ReplacementOptions("[personal]")
ex_red = ExactPhraseRedaction("John Doe", repl_opt)
# Load the document to be redacted
with Redactor("./sample.docx") as redactor:
# Apply the redaction
result = redactor.apply(ex_red)
if result.status != RedactionStatus.FAILED:
# By default, the redacted document is saved in PDF format
save_options = SaveOptions()
save_options.add_suffix = True
save_options.rasterize_to_pdf = True
save_options.redacted_file_suffix = "redacted"
result_path = redactor.save(save_options)
print(f"Document redacted successfully.\nCheck output in {result_path}")
else:
print("Redaction failed!")
