Save to Stream

You might need to save a document to any custom file at any location on the local disc or a even a Stream.

The following example demonstrates how to save a document to any location.

Python

import groupdocs.redaction as gr
import groupdocs.redaction.options as gro
import groupdocs.redaction.redactions as grr
import groupdocs.pydrawing as grd

def run():

    # Define color of redaction
    color = grd.Color.from_argb(255, 220, 20, 60)

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

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

        # Apply the redaction
        result = redactor.apply(ex_red)
        
        if (result.status != gr.RedactionStatus.FAILED):
            # Save the document to a custom location and convert its pages to images
            ro = gro.RasterizationOptions()
            ro.enabled = True
            with open(output_file, "wb") as stream_out:
                redactor.save(stream_out, ro)

            print(f"Document redacted successfully.\nCheck output in {source_file}")
        else:
            print(f"Redaction failed!")
