PDF-Text-Redaction-Using-Google-Cloud

Google Cloud DLP does not support document redaction (PDF, DOC, TIFF etc...), We're supposed to redact only images using google cloud api's. In this python program we are going to redact documents using DLP API.

[You are always welcome to collaborate or suggest some changes, I'll be thankful]

Approach -

1. Convert every page of document into images using PyMuPDF(In Output Folder).
   Output/<PDF_FILENAME>/Page0001.png
   Output/<PDF_FILENAME>/Page0002.png
   Output/<PDF_FILENAME>/Page0003.png
   ...
2. Redact every Page from that folder and generate output in Redacted Images folder.
   Output/<PDF_FILENAME>/Redacted Images/Redacted-Page0001.png
   Output/<PDF_FILENAME>/Redacted Images/Redacted-Page0002.png
   Output/<PDF_FILENAME>/Redacted Images/Redacted-Page0003.png
   ...
3. Create PDF from all images in Redacted Images folder and store in base of Output.
   Output/<PDF_FILENAME>/Redacted-
