Redax Enterprise Server
Version 3.3 · Windows, Linux, AIX, SolarisAutomate PDF Redaction at Scale
Redact large volumes of PDF files quickly, accurately and securely. Redax Enterprise Server finds sensitive text with patterns and regular expressions, marks it for review, and permanently removes it — text, metadata and hidden data alike. Built on the Adobe PDF Library, for reliably correct output.
If you have a large volume of PDF files that need to be redacted to remove sensitive or private information, Redax Enterprise Server makes the process easier and more accurate.
It can be used as part of your redaction workflow. Using watched folders, documents are preprocessed on the server to find lists of key words and phrases; preset patterns and regular expressions locate information such as Social Security numbers, account numbers, URLs and email addresses. Marked documents can be reviewed before committing to the final redaction.
The software integrates into any PDF document workflow, with or without our Redax plug-in for Adobe® Acrobat® (Standard or Professional).

The RedaxESconfig application creates an XML parameter file used by Redax Enterprise Server to configure properties for the watched folders. These folders can be mapped network drives; providing “drag and drop” simplicity for any user.
# Advanced Automation
Integrators may choose to dynamically generate XML parameter files from Perl, Java, PHP, VBScript, or any shell script, or operate Redax Enterprise Server via scripts for multistage or multicore processing.
See the documentation for complete information.
