Command: -searchTextAndRedact

It searches for the specified string and adds a Redact annotation to the hits. Redact annotations are annotations that redact the area where they are applied. When the Redact annotation is in effect, the data in the area can be viewed, but when you apply it, the annotated area is filled with a mask color and the text data underneath is deleted.

This is useful if you need to review something before redacting it.

Main options:

• Search string, regular expression search string

*The application operation requires the PDF software to have a Redact annotation application function. The "PDF Tool API Command Line" allows you to apply the process in bulk (-setMaskUsingRedaction).
