Search & Redact PDF Node
The Search & Markup node adds text markups or redactions to all the search results found within a PDF document. Searches can be performed using standard text strings or regular expressions.
General Settings
Mark for Redaction: Adds redaction annotations to the document that offer a preview of what the document will look like after redaction, and also allows you to adjust Redaction Properties before being applied.
Redact Immediately: This "burns in" the annotations and removes any text, image, or drawing from the document that is underneath the annotation's area. If "Include Comments" or "Include Form Fields" option is selected the text will be replaced with the chosen character.
Word or Phrase: Enter the text you wish to search for
Use Regular Expression: Allows you to user a regular expression to perform more advanced search queries
Examples:
- US phone number: ((\(\d{3}\)?)|(\d{3}-))?\d{3}-\d{4}
- US Social Security number: \d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}
- Email address: [\w-]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+

Case-Sensitive: If checked, searching for the string "The" will not return the same results as searching for the string "the".
Whole words only: If checked, searching for "the" will not return occurrences of "they". But when this option is left unchecked, all occurrences of "they" will appear in the occurrence list.
Replace with: Search results found in comments and fields will be replaced with the given character. For example: 'search' replaced with 'XXXXX'.
