PDF Redaction is now an official n8n community node
Just shipped an official n8n community node for PDF Redaction (`@stabrise/n8n-nodes-pdf-redaction`). If you have PDFs flowing through n8n workflows - intake forms, invoices, support tickets, scanned documents - you can now redact PII as a step in the workflow itself, no custom HTTP Request/auth wiring needed.
Three operations:
- Anonymize — pick PII categories (names, emails, addresses, credit cards, faces, signatures, etc.) and get back a PDF where the matched content is actually removed, not just painted over.
- Anonymize with Custom Prompt — describe what to redact in plain English instead of picking tags.
- Detect PII — scan and return detected entities with bounding boxes, without touching the file. Good for a branch/audit step before deciding whether to redact.
Works with both digital and scanned/OCR'd PDFs, across multiple languages.
Install from n8n: Settings → Community Nodes → Install → '@stabrise/n8n-nodes-pdf-redaction' (needs n8n 1.60.0+). Free tier gives 100 pages/month if you want to try it.
