System Requirements in Help. The ability to create PDF files from or
inside DM Systems is documented at the end the PDF Create section of
this guide. The ability to unlock PDF or XPS files is similarly
documented at the end the PDF Converter section. A menu item and a
toolbar is added to PDF Professional for each detected DM system,
allowing you to open PDF files from the DMS, save PDF files to DMS,
access the DMS document properties, extract or instert pages to or from
the DMS or select a file of any type from the DMS to have it attached to
the current PDF document. Commands from PDF Professional are also
available inside SharePoint, Hummingbird Enterprise and Interwoven
Worksite.
Redaction
Document text confidentiality is achieved by redaction - the blacking
out of pieces of text or images. Select text or images to be marked for
redaction with the Redact tool in the Document menu or the Security
toolbar. This menu also allows marking for redaction by searching. The
program finds all occurrences of a given text string in the document,
letting you review them and choose which will be marked for redaction.
Use the Apply redaction menu item or button to have all marked items
(whether resulting from searches or selection) blacked out permanently.
When a redacted document is saved, the program always offers Save As,
because you should save the redacted file to a new name. The original file
remains with the redacted items marked but still readable.
Warnings:
• Be aware that once a file is saved with redacted items, there is
no way of restoring the removed content – it can neither be
viewed nor found by searching.
• If text to be redacted contains typing errors, maybe some
sensitive data will not be removed by searching. We suggest
that you always check a search-redacted document manually
before releasing it.
