bug: annotations not redacted #119

mahlzahn commented 2026年03月07日 10:37:19 +01:00

Description

Redacting the full page of a file with annotations, unexpectedly did not remove the annotations:

original	redacted
image	image

Sample file from: https://github.com/py-pdf/sample-files/tree/main/024-annotations

Implementation

Remove also annotations ...

Pseudocode:

for annot in page.annots:
 if redaction.intersection(annot.sect) is not None:
 document.remove(annot.xref)

See https://pymupdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/page.html#Page.annots, https://pymupdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/annot.html#Annot.rect

(works with point annotations?)

Related upstream issue

If sanitization from !117 is used: https://github.com/pymupdf/PyMuPDF/issues/4928

Further elements to redact

• widgets
• form entries?
• signatures (see #98)
• ...?
