Redax Enterprise Server

Redax Enterprise Server logo

     

"Redax Enterprise Server allowed us to completely reorganize how we do things.

Now, we mark up documents when we get them, and just push buttons to release them to different audiences, with different redactions for each.

It's an incredible time-saver, I've literally no idea how we'd work without it."

- Michael N., Systems Integrator

Redax Enterprise Server makes it possible to centralize automated, semi-automated and manual document redaction processes on a server.

The software may be integrated into any PDF document workflow with or without the Redax plugin for Adobe Acrobat.

Basic Operation

Screen-shot of watched folders

The simplest way to run Redax Enterprise Server is through the watched folders functionality.

The RedaxESconfig application creates an XML parameter file used by Redax Enterprise Server to configure properties for the watched folders. These folders can be mapped network drives; providing "drag and drop" simplicity for any user.

Advanced Automation

Integrators may choose to dynamically generate XML parameter files from Perl, Java, PHP, VBScript, or any shell script, or operate Redax Enterprise Server via scripts for multistage or multicore processing.

See the User Guide for complete documentation.
