PDF scan, mask or replace words

Hi community!

I want to know if the following is possible with Pega Robotics:

- Scan a PDF for certain words

- Edit a PDF by replacing certain words or masking them so that they become unreadable

- Replace/mask certain words depending on the context, for example only mask word1 if the next word equals...

Hope to hear from you soon!

Regards, Martijn

Hi Martijn,


I dont think there is a way to "actually" edit PDF files using OOTB Pega Robotics. You are limited to adding annotations to PDF files. 


You might have to look into third party library to do that; perhaps iText library? 

https://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/

With that, I guess you would have to create a new pdf by copying existing pdf content and masking all the unwanted areas.

We'd prefer it if you saw us at our best.
