PSPDFKit Adds Redaction and Improved Digital Signatures to Web
We are pleased to present PSPDFKit for Web 2020.3! This release brings with it the ability to redact PDF documents, render signature widgets, and much more. Please refer to our Server and Web changelogs for a complete list of features and bug fixes.
Redaction
Redaction is the process of irreversibly removing content from a document. With our new Redaction component, you can remove sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information, from PDFs. This enables you to comply with standards such as GDPR or HIPAA, and also to distribute redacted files without any risk of information leakage.
To redact content, mark up the regions that should be removed. These marks will serve as placeholders for the final redaction. You can customize the appearance of the boxes that the original content will be replaced with, and you can even preview how the document is going to look after redaction at any time. Once all the content is marked up, the redaction process can be started and the document will be reloaded with the redacted areas permanently removed in a non-reconstructible way.
It is also possible to redact content based on specific search criteria and custom regular expressions, or even using one of the multiple patterns that we offer as part of this release. There are patterns to match against email addresses, credit card numbers, dates, zip codes, and much more.
With this new Redaction component in PSPDFKit for Web, we now support redaction across all platforms, including Java and .NET. Please check our Redaction guide to learn more about this new component.
Rendering of Signed Signature Widgets
Our Digital Signatures component has been improved, and now the appearance streams of signed signature widgets are rendered by PSPDFKit for Web. This allows you to open a signed document and see the visual appearance of its signature(s).
