Load password-protected file

In order to open password-protected documents, you have to pass your password to LoadOptions class constructor or assign it to its Password property of an instance of LoadOptions class:

Python

import groupdocs.redaction as gr
import groupdocs.redaction.redactions as grr

def run():

    # Specify the load options with document password
    load_opt = gro.LoadOptions("mypassword")

    # Specify the redaction options
    repl_opt = grr.ReplacementOptions("[personal]")
    ex_red = grr.ExactPhraseRedaction("John Doe", repl_opt)

    # Load the document to be redacted
    with gr.Redactor("protected_docx", load_opt) as redactor:

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