In part 1 and part 2 of our Introduction to ReadySuite, we discussed new endorsement options. Now, we’re going to introduce ways to remove those endorsements, as well as other parts of images with our trimming and redaction processes.
There are two ways to batch-redact documents using ReadySuite. The first method allows you to trim an entire portion of a page. The second method allows you to redact a region on a page and fill it with a white or black background.
For an example of the first method, you can remove 0.5” inches from the bottom portion of a page while maintaining the original page size. You can perform this operation on the top, bottom, left, or right sides. The amount to trim can be adjusted, allowing you to batch-remove 0.223” inches from the bottom of a page.
The second method to batch-redact documents is to select a region on a page and designate a fill color. We make this process easy for you with our preview control. To use it, enable selection mode, draw a region on the image, and we’ll translate those bounds into coordinates. Using this method also allows you to see where the redaction will occur on each page across all documents. For the advanced user, we offer options to manually input the start and end positions of the redaction area.
All pages are not created equally, therefore, applying document- and page-level filters allows precise control over which documents will be redacted. For example, if you have a field named “Production” with values of “Y” or “N”, you can filter for all documents with a production designation (“Y”). The page-level filters allow you to redact based on even or odd page numbers, being the first page only, or portrait and landscape orientation.
In part 4 of our series, we’ll go over new functionality allowing you to export images and native files.

Last week, we introduced the new endorsing functionality in Part 1 of our Introduction to ReadySuite. We’ve already highlighted the different endorsement areas, font settings, custom messages and spell checking. Next, we’re going to continue where we left off and go over a few more endorsement features.
Have you ever endorsed a set of images only to realize after the fact your settings don’t seem quite right? You may not have added the legend stamp in the right location or the formatting isn’t what the client is expecting. Whatever the issue might be, you’ll be able to preview your settings before you start the endorsement process.
Shown above, we’ve added “DRAFT” to the center of the image in red. Using the preview window, we’re able to see how this would be applied to the image. You can preview any page or document using the provided navigation controls. Additionally, you can zoom in or out on parts of the image.
As illustrated in the preview window, endorsements can be angled. We provide options for horizontal, vertical, clockwise and counter-clockwise orientations. Each endorsements orientation is unique to its quadrant, allowing for different variations.
Other functionality included will allow you to apply endorsements to the first page of each document, or only even pages or odd pages. You’ll also be able to apply the endorsements to only portrait or landscape pages. These options are shown below.
In part 3 of our series, we’ll be discussing the batch redacting and cropping options. In addition, if you’re interested in joining our test team, contact Justin Blessing and provide a little background on your firm and your computer environment.

Many users of our ReadyConvert and ReadyPrint products have asked for new ways to work with their existing image sets. We’ve built an incredible base product handling multiple image formats and load files. Now, we are extending that functionality to include features that will allow the user to endorse, redact, recognize (OCR), renumber, and create new image sets. Over the next several weeks, we will be highlighting these changes in a multi-part series to our development blog.
We’ll kick start the series by introducing the new endorsing options. With documents imported from load files or folders, you’ll now be allowed to apply a wide array of endorsements to those images. Endorsements can vary by font, size, orientation and color. You may apply bates numbers, page numbers, metadata fields and any custom text you can think of.
We give you nine quadrants to choose from when adding endorsements. You may use one or all of these areas during a unique session. Each quadrant allows you to specify the font, color, alignment and orientation of the endorsement. For consistency, you may synchronize the settings among all the quadrants.
As you can see above, you can use different font settings in each quadrant. Additionally, you can use the grid to select different quadrants. The active quadrant is displayed in blue, gray indicates an endorsement exists and white indicates nothing will be applied to that area.
With a built-in spell checker, we will check behind you as you type. Don’t worry about those annoying typos, because you can see those misspelled words underlined with the familiar red ’squiggly’ line.
We’ll be discussing more of the endorsing options in our next blog post. Additionally, we are looking for a few users who would like to be a part of our test team and provide us with feedback on our progress.
