ActivePDF Brings Redaction to Businesses, Improving Privacy, Security, and Compliance

ActivePDF Releases Redactor 3.1.0, a Developers Library Specialized for Redacting Sensitive Data in PDF Files

LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif., May 29, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ActivePDF, the leading provider of PDF automation technologies and digital transformation solutions, is proud to announce the release and availability of Redactor 3.1.0. The highly-anticipated Redactor 3.1.0, provides users the ability to search and redact specific words, text, images, or entire pages when creating PDF files so viewers cannot see or search for sensitive information.

Redactor 3.1.0 features and benefits:

    --  Search and Redact: Redactor 3.1.0 enables organizations to accurately
        search and redact data while creating PDF files. Sensitive data such as
        social security numbers, phone numbers, addresses, etc., can be easily
        and accurately redacted within a single API. Proper redaction is
        essential for regulatory compliance across a wide-range of industries,
        including legal, financial, securities, or government agencies that deal
        with sensitive information on a daily basis.
    --  Preventable Searching: Unlike other redactor tools on the market,
        Redactor 3.1.0 prevents selected viewers from recovering redacted data.
        For example, a legal team might introduce a document into evidence, but
        must protect sensitive information irrelevant to the case. Sensitive
        data is redacted so viewers cannot see, search, or recover that
        information.
    --  Controlled Redaction: Not only does Redactor 3.1.0 prevent viewers from
        searching and recovering redacted data, it also protects from and allows
        other actions. For example, a government agency may provide documents to
        an individual with a security clearance to view some, but not all,
        information in a classified document. With Redactor, the individual
        could not search, highlight or copy redacted data. However, the
        unredacted content remains visible, fully indexed and searchable.
    --  Remove and Replace: Redactor 3.1.0 removes and replaces text and images
        with a color-filled box. Redaction removes and blocks out portions of
        the text or image, such as a specific word or an entire page so viewers
        no longer see that information in the PDF output file. Users can censor
        something as simple as a name or more complex information such as a long
        string of numbers.

"Organizations across all industries are in urgent need of solutions to tackle new and ever-changing regulatory laws," says Tim Sullivan, ActivePDF Chief Architect and CEO. "For example, coverage on the Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been largely negative, but I look at it as a great opportunity to provide businesses with the proper tools to keep sensitive information secure and compliant. With Redactor 3.1.0, we are helping businesses respond quickly and accurately with an easy-to-use PDF solution. Redaction is extremely important and if performed incorrectly, sensitive information could leak to the public with detrimental results. Redactor 3.1.0 helps avoid this by providing businesses with a reliable, accurate and compliant redaction tool."
