Save with default options

The simplest way to save the document is it provide no parameters to Save method. In this case the document will be rasterized to PDF and will have the same name as the original one except its extension (.PDF). The PDF file will be overwritten.

The following example demonstrates usage of Save() method with default options.

Python

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

def run():

    # 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("source.docx") as redactor:

        # Apply the redaction
        result = redactor.apply(ex_red)
        
        # Save the document with default options (convert pages into images, save as PDF)
        result_path = redactor.save()

    # Indicate the successful rendering of the source document and specify where to find the output in the specified directory
    print(f"Document redacted successfully.\nCheck output in {result_path}.")
