A “Hello, World!” example is often the first step when exploring GroupDocs.Redaction for Python via .NET. It serves as a simple test to confirm that your development environment is correctly set up and that the library is functioning as expected.

“GroupDocs.Redaction for Python via .NET” allows you to search, redact, and remove sensitive information from various document formats. A wide range of supported formats makes it versatile for different use cases.

The following steps demonstrate how to redact sensitive information from a document using GroupDocs.Redaction for Python via .NET:

1. Import groupDocs.redaction classes.
2. Provide redaction parameters.
3. Instantiate a Redactor object with the path to the sample document.
4. Perform the required redaction operation.
5. Save the result document.

Basic example of GroupDocs.Redaction usage:

import groupdocs.redaction as gr
import groupdocs.redaction.redactions as grr
from groupdocs.pydrawing import Color

def run():
    # Specify the redaction options
    color = Color.from_argb(128, 255, 0, 0)
    repl_o = grr.ReplacementOptions(color)
    ep_red = grr.ExactPhraseRedaction("John Doe", repl_o)

    # Load the document to be redacted
    with gr.Redactor("source.pdf") as redactor:

        # Apply the redaction
        result = redactor.apply(ep_red)
        
        # Save the redacted document
        redactor.save()

Steps to run the sample application:

1. Download the Sample Application:

   • Download Samples Project

2. Run the Application:

   • Navigate to the directory containing the hello_world.py script.
   • Run the script:

     python hello_world.py
     

After executing the example, the resulting PDF file will have all instances of the text “John Doe” masked with small square images.
