Conversion parameters

Presets Collection

Select auto to automatically detect all types of Sensitive Data, disable to turn off AI-based sensitive data detection, or choose a specific document type from the available presets to focus on detecting data according to that document type's guidelines.

The RedactionData parameter can be used in combination with any selected preset, including when detection is disabled, to specify additional custom redaction options.

Values: auto disabled invoice agreement tax healthcare statement employee

MinimumConfidence Double

Sets the minimum confidence threshold for AI-based detection of sensitive data. Higher values reduce false positives but may miss subtle matches.

RedactionData String

A JSON array containing values to be redacted (blacked-out) from the PDF, such as exact Text (specific text), Regex (regular expression patterns), or Detect (AI-based detection from the description).

This field can be used in combination with the Presets option to manually specify additional data for redaction alongside AI-based detection.

[
  {
    "Text": "john@domain.com"
  },
  {
    "Detect": "Bank account number"
  },
  {
    "Regex": "\\b100\\s*(€|\\$)\\b"
  }
