Please exercise caution when opening any attachments or links from external sources. Hello! We are beginning a digitization project at my institution that involves scanning archival documents that may contain personal identifying information, such as social security numbers or credit card numbers. I'm looking for a tool that will examine the PDFs and identify the ones that may contain PII, so we can then redact them. I've experimented a bit with Bulk Extractor Viewer but haven't been able to get it to work on the scanned PDFs I've created. I talked to a sales rep at Spirion and that program seems like overkill for our purposes. Any suggestions for other things to try would be appreciated! Thanks, Kim Kimberly Kennedy Digital Production Coordinator Northeastern University Library [email protected]
