Sample Kotlin code for using PDFTron SDK to remove potentially sensitive content within PDF documents. Using 'pdftron.PDF.Redactor' makes sure that if a portion of an image, text, or vector graphics is contained in a redaction region, that portion is destroyed and is not simply hidden with clipping or image masks.

/**
* PDF Redactor is a separately licensable Add-on that offers options to remove
* (not just covering or obscuring) content within a region of PDF.
* With printed pages, redaction involves blacking-out or cutting-out areas of
* the printed page. With electronic documents that use formats such as PDF,
* redaction typically involves removing sensitive content within documents for
* safe distribution to courts, patent and government institutions, the media,
* customers, vendors or any other audience with restricted access to the content.
*
*
* The redaction process in PDFNet consists of two steps:
*
*
* a) Content identification: A user applies redact annotations that specify the
* pieces or regions of content that should be removed. The content for redaction
* can be identified either interactively (e.g. using 'com.pdftron.pdf.PDFViewCtrl'
* as shown in PDFView sample) or programmatically (e.g. using 'com.pdftron.pdf.TextSearch'
* or 'com.pdftron.pdf.TextExtractor'). Up until the next step is performed, the user
* can see, move and redefine these annotations.
* b) Content removal: Using 'com.pdftron.pdf.Redactor.Redact()' the user instructs
* PDFNet to apply the redact regions, after which the content in the area specified
* by the redact annotations is removed. The redaction function includes number of
* options to control the style of the redaction overlay (including color, text,
* font, border, transparency, etc.).
*
*
* PDFTron Redactor makes sure that if a portion of an image, text, or vector graphics
* is contained in a redaction region, that portion of the image or path data is
* destroyed and is not simply hidden with clipping or image masks. PDFNet API can also
* be used to review and remove metadata and other content that can exist in a PDF
* document, including XML Forms Architecture (XFA) content and Extensible Metadata
* Platform (XMP) content.
