Saving documents Leave feedback

By default save() rasterizes every page of the redacted document into images and writes a single PDF next to the source file, so the result can be shared without any chance of recovering the removed content. You control this through the rasterize_to_pdf property of SaveOptions (or enabled on RasterizationOptions), and you can redirect the output to a stream for any custom location. The topics below show each saving scenario.

• Save in Original Format — keep the source format instead of rasterizing to PDF.
• Save in Rasterized PDF — flatten the result to a rasterized PDF so redactions are irreversible.
• Save Overwriting Original File — write the redacted output back over the source document.
• Save to Stream — write the result to any writable stream.
• Save with Default Options — use the default save behavior.
• Select Specific Pages for Rasterized PDF — rasterize only a chosen page range.
• Use Advanced Rasterization Options — add anti-extraction effects (noise, tilt, border, grayscale) and set PDF/A compliance.
