RedactText— redacts text matching a regex pattern in a document and saves the result as<name>_redacted.<ext>.EraseMetadata— erases document metadata fields (author, title, company, dates, and other properties).RedactAnnotations— replaces or deletes annotations and comments in a document.RedactImageArea— covers a rectangular page region with a solid-color box (pixel coordinates).GetDocumentInfo— returns file type, page count, size, and per-page dimensions as JSON without modifying the document.
GetDocumentInfoadded at clone time per the cross-product standard for MCP server repos.- The four redaction tools (
RedactText,EraseMetadata,RedactAnnotations,RedactImageArea) ported from the GroupDocs.Redaction framework subproject; a Pitfall #18 catch-and-format exception wrapper added at clone time to each tool. - Installable via
