Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes

Here are the key reasons to use the new updated API provided by GroupDocs.Redaction for Java since version 19.11:

  • Redactor class was introduced as a single entry point to manage the document redaction process (instead of Documentclass from previous versions).

  • Methods redactWith() of the Document class were replaced with similar apply() methods in Redactor class. 

  • Method Document.save(OutputStream, SaveOptions) was replaced with Redactor.save(OutputStream, RasterizationOptions).

  • Constructor LoadOptions(DocumentFormatConfiguration) was removed.

  • Exception and option classes were put in separate packages. 

  • RedactionSummary was renamed into RedactorChangeLogRedactionLogRecord into RedactorLogRecordMetadataFilter into MetadataFilters.

  • Obsolete members were removed from public API.

  • Added a number of new exception classes and a base exception class for GroupDocs.Redaction exceptions.

Usecases

The following example demonstrates how to redact Microsoft Office Word document and dumping statuses of applied redactions using old and new API:

Old coding style

// Load the file
Document doc = Redactor.load("Documents/Doc/sample.docx");
//Perform redaction using exact phrase
RedactionSummary summary = doc.redactWith(new ExactPhraseRedaction("John Doe", new ReplacementOptions("[Personal]")));
for (RedactionLogEntry entry : summary.getRedactionLog())
{
	System.out.println(entry.getStatus());
}
//Save the resultant document
doc.save();
// Close the Document
doc.close();

New coding style

// Load the file
Redactor redactor = new Redactor("Documents/Doc/sample.docx");
//Perform redaction using exact phrase
RedactorChangeLog summary = redactor.apply(new ExactPhraseRedaction("John Doe", new ReplacementOptions("[Personal]")));
for (RedactorLogEntry entry : summary.getRedactionLog())
{
	System.out.println(entry.getResult().getStatus());
}
//Save the resultant document
redactor.save();
// Close the Redactor 
redactor.close();
