PDF SDK for Legal Document Automation
Process contracts, court filings, and discovery documents with true text editing. Permanent redaction for privileged information. Batch processing for document review.
Legal Tech Document Challenges
Contracts with complex formatting break during editing
Redaction must be permanent and audit-proof for court admissibility
Multi-party documents need precise version control
Manual document review doesn't scale for discovery
Use Cases
Contract Automation
Replace party names, dates, and terms across contract templates while preserving formatting and signatures.
const contract = await PDFDancer.open('contract_template.pdf');
await contract.page(1).selectParagraphsStartingWith('Party A:')
.forEach(p => p.replaceText('Party A:', 'Acme Corp:'));
await contract.save('executed_contract.pdf');Discovery Redaction
Redact privileged communications and PII across thousands of documents with pattern matching.
const docs = await PDFDancer.openBatch('discovery/*.pdf');
for (const doc of docs) {
await doc.allPages().selectTextLinesMatching(/Attorney-Client Privileged/)
.forEach(line => line.redact('[PRIVILEGED]'));
}Court Filing Preparation
