  1. “Banish the ghosts”

    #Censor, the #PDF document #redaction tool for the @gnome desktop, was released in version 0.8.0: codeberg.org/censor/Censor/rel

    This version comes with major improvements to secure redaction of invisible elements: first, point- or line-like elements on page borders, and second, elements located outside of pages, quasi in infinity. These “ghosts” are now redacted or you’ll get warned during post-redaction-validation if redaction wasn’t possible. I discovered these issues in a few PDF documents after adding another big testing sample dataset, kindly provided by the #OpenPreservationFoundation: github.com/openpreserve/format

    Find Censor on @flathub: flathub.org/apps/page.codeberg and @Codeberg: codeberg.org/censor/Censor or get it from your distribution package maintainers: repology.org/project/censor-do

    Thanks to its translators, Censor is currently available in 17 languages. I welcome your contribution to translations at #CodebergTranslate: translate.codeberg.org/engage/

  3. Oh, this looks good - #OpenPreservationFoundation #OPF and the #PDFAssociation have released a first development preview of a #VeraPDF-powered #PDF checker. The software is based on the #Arlington PDF model, and analyses PDF files against the full PDF 2.0 specification:

    openpreservation.org/news/deve

    Haven't tried it yet, but based on what I'm reading this looks like the future of #PDF validation to me!
