from groupdocs.redaction.redactions import ExactPhraseRedaction, ReplacementOptions
def load_password_protected_file():
# Specify the load options with the document password
load_opt = LoadOptions("mypassword")
# Specify the redaction options
repl_opt = ReplacementOptions("[personal]")
ex_red = ExactPhraseRedaction("John Doe", repl_opt)
# Load the password-protected document to be redacted
with Redactor("./protected.docx", load_opt) as redactor:
# Apply the redaction
redactor.apply(ex_red)
# Save the redacted document in its original format
so = SaveOptions()
so.add_suffix = True
so.rasterize_to_pdf = False
so.redacted_file_suffix = "redacted"
result_path = redactor.save(so)
print(f"Document redacted successfully.\nCheck output in {result_path}.")
