OutofMemory Exception on ExactPhrase redaction

GroupDocs.Redaction Product Family

I am trying to redact “The” keyword from this document using ExactPhraseRedaction. But this is giving me OutOfMemoryException and after debugging for a while I noticed that memory consumption was more than 6 Gb for this one page PDF document when I tried to redact it.
here is the sample doc: ErrorFile.pdf (513.9 KB)

We cannot reproduce this issue at our end using following code and latest (23.1) API version:

//C# code to redact a PDF file
using (Redactor redactor = new Redactor(@"D:/ErrorFile.pdf"))
{
      RedactorChangeLog result = redactor.Apply(new ExactPhraseRedaction("the", new ReplacementOptions("[personal]")));
      if (result.Status != RedactionStatus.Failed)
      {
           redactor.Save();
      };
}

Please take a look at these source and output.zip (1.8 MB) files.
Could you please share following details and we’ll further investigate:

  • API version that you are using
  • Sample application using that issue could be reproduced
  • .NET version

@atir.tahir This is also being reproduced at your end, look at the output file you uploaded and you will see that it is not redacted, actually what happens is that the RedactionStatus is Failed and if you look into RedactLogEntry you will see that redaction is failed due to OutOfMemory Exception.

Please take a look at this screenshot.png (115.9 KB). We redacted “The” with “[personal]”. And this change is reflected in the output PDF.

@atir.tahir I verified and found that this is only being reproduce when replacement options is a color not a text.
new ExactPhraseRedaction(“The” , new ReplacementOptions(Color.Black))

@atir.tahir
//C# code to redact a PDF file
using (Redactor redactor = new Redactor(@“D:/ErrorFile.pdf”))
{
RedactorChangeLog result = redactor.Apply(new ExactPhraseRedaction(“the”, new ReplacementOptions(Color.Black)));
if (result.Status != RedactionStatus.Failed)
{
redactor.Save();
};
}

@atir.tahir Actually the reason for the output not being created can be easily debugged by looking at the “RedactorChangeLog result” details
