Redact PDF text by specifying the exact text to remove on each line. MANDATORY WORKFLOW — follow every step in order before calling this tool: Step 1 — Retrieve line text: Call list_redactable_line_text and note the exact 'text' string and 'line_index' for every line you intend to redact. Step 2 — Identify the text to redact: Provide the exact substring to remove. The value must appear verbatim in the line's 'text' field. - Non-CJK text (e.g. English): whole-word matching is enforced. "the" will NOT redact text inside "then", "there", or "either". - CJK text (e.g. Chinese): substring matching — "王大明" will match wherever it appears in the line. Step 3 — Build the content payload: Group redaction targets by page. Each page entry contains a list of { line_index, text } pairs. Example: content = [ { "page_index": 1, "lines": [ {"line_index": 3, "text": "John Doe"}, {"line_index": 7, "text": "confidential"} ] } ] Step 4 — Verify and re-redact if needed: After this tool returns, you MUST call list_redactable_line_text again with the NEW job_id to verify that all intended targets have been removed. If any target text still appears in the result, call redact_by_text_range again immediately with the remaining targets. Repeat until all targets are gone — do NOT report success until the verification confirms zero remaining targets. Creates a NEW job_id (with parent_job_id linking to the source). After redaction completes, call 'view_pdf' with the new job_id to display the result.
