7 Hidden Features in RexPDF You Should Be Using
1. Smart Redaction
Permanently remove sensitive text and metadata with one pass. Smart Redaction detects repeated instances of the same term and applies consistent masking across the document, and it also offers a preview of what will be removed before you commit.
2. Context-Aware OCR
OCR that preserves layout and detects columns, tables, and handwriting. Context-Aware OCR converts scanned documents into fully searchable, editable PDFs while keeping fonts and formatting closely matched to the original.
3. Batch Conditional Actions
Automate repetitive tasks by running conditional rules across multiple PDFs. Examples: convert all scanned files to searchable PDFs, redact if a keyword appears, or extract signature blocks and save them to a folder.
4. Smart Form Field Recognition
Automatically detects likely form fields from static PDFs and converts them into interactive, fillable fields (text, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns), including suggested field names and validation rules.
5. Dynamic Watermarking
Apply watermarks that change based on document metadata or user role—e.g., “Draft — {username} — {date}” or omit watermark for users with higher permissions. Watermarks can be baked in or applied transiently for viewing only.
6. Element-Level Versioning
Track changes to specific objects (images, text blocks, annotations) rather than whole-document versions. Revert an edited image or annotation without restoring the entire file — useful for collaborative editing workflows.
7. API-Driven Workflows with Webhooks
Integrate RexPDF actions into external systems: trigger conversions when a file is uploaded, receive webhook callbacks on redaction completion, or auto-send processed PDFs to cloud storage. Includes example payloads and retry logic for reliability.
If you want, I can expand any of these into a short how-to, include screenshots, or draft automation rules for a specific workflow.
