What’s new in the GroupDocs.Redaction for Java 23.9

Release Highlights

GroupDocs.Redaction for Java 23.9 enhances global redaction capabilities with new support for right-to-left languages like Arabic and introduces a more robust method to redact large areas of PDF documents, including text, images, and annotations. This release also includes critical bug fixes that improve the stability of regex-based redactions in complex PDF scenarios.

New Features

  • Redact Specific Page Areas in PDFs: A new PageAreaRedaction class allows redacting all content types—text, images, annotations—within a selected region of a PDF document. This empowers precise redaction control in high-sensitivity areas.

Bug Fixes

  • Right-to-Left Language Support (Arabic Redaction): Fixed issues in ExactPhraseRedaction to handle Arabic and other RTL languages using a new setRightToLeft() method.

  • Stability Fix for Complex Regex Redactions: Resolved issues where certain PDF documents failed to redact due to complex regular expressions in RegexRedaction.

Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes

  • New API Additions:
    • IFixedFormatDocument (interface)
    • PageAreaRedaction (new class for multi-type regional redaction)
    • ExactPhraseRedaction.setRightToLeft(boolean) and isRightToLeft() methods
