Re: [Adobe-source-discuss] Need to strip sensitive information out of PDF files

[Sean P. <sp...@ad...>]

There currently isn't much of anything along these lines - there are  
fragments of our serialization library which supports some parsing (I  
believe it is in the archive directory) of a PDF subset. But this  
library is likely to be abandoned for the boost serialization library.

I'm not an expert in what tools are available for PDF manipulation -  
but I'd likely start here:

<http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/pdf/topic.html>

And I know there are other non-Adobe open source tools for  
manipulating PDFs.

[Adobe-source-discuss] Need to strip sensitive information out of PDF files

[Wes G. <we...@at...>]

All,

I have a requirement to strip phone numbers and/or email addresses out 
of my PDF files (privacy concerns of people referenced in 
Internet-available PDF files).

Is there some component of ASL that I can use to achieve this?

Or should I just look into using Perl or Ruby and some clever regex 
manipulation to handle it?

Thanks,
Wes Gamble
