  • Patent number: 9965456
    Abstract: A system redacts content in a multi-layered document by executing a content modifier process that redacts a first portion of content in a source layer and then automatically redacts related content in at least one target layer. The content modifier process overlays the source redaction region on corresponding areas of other layers in the document to identify target redaction regions in those other layers that contain target content. In turn, the content modifier process automatically identifies and redacts the target content within target redaction regions.

  • Patent number: 9846689
    Abstract: A method and system to provide portable database functionality in an electronic form is described. The system may include a communications module and a portability module. The communications module may be configured to receive a request to generate an electronic form, the electronic form to include preloaded database information. The portability module may be configured to respond to the request by configuring the electronic form to include the preloaded database information obtained from a source database. The preloaded database information may be used for a variety of purposes at fill time, when one or more electronic form field values are being filled in by a user.

  • Patent number: 9805010
    Abstract: A method for redacting related content in a document by executing a redaction manager process that searches for related content in at least one document and then provides a means for selecting instances of the content for redaction. The related content may include properties such as, for example, identical instances of a text string, instances of related graphics, instances of numeric values and/or numeric patterns, proper names, phone numbers, addresses and similar searchable data properties. Upon searching and retrieving the desired data, the redaction manager process displays a listing of the instances of content which affords a user the ability to select which particular instances of content to redact within the document.

  • Patent number: 8584005
    Abstract: A method for graphically designating content in a document for the subsequent application of a redaction function by executing a preview manager process that displays the designated content in a distinctive interactive configuration. The preview manager process renders the interactive configuration in a graphical format that allows a user to distinguish between the designated content (which has been selected by the user for subsequent application of a redaction function) and the remaining non-designated content in the document. Moreover, a user may interact with the designated content in the document such that, upon user activation (e.g., via an input device such as a mouse), the preview manager process renders a preview configuration that displays a simulation of the resultant application of the redaction function to the designated content. A user may further interact with the designated content in the document such that the preview manager process provides an interactive interface (e.g.

  • Patent number: 8239752
    Abstract: A method and system to facilitate workflow data submission is provided. The system may include a communications module to receive a request to generate an electronic form such that the electronic form is suitable for viewing with a first version of a viewer application and a compatibility module to respond to the request by configuring the electronic form to include a functional feature, the functional feature being available with the first version of the viewer application and being not available with a second version of the viewer application.
