Hi!

I was able to find how to draw redaction annotations using javaScript -

const rectangleAnnot = new Annotations.RedactionAnnotation(boundingBox); annotationManager.addAnnotation(rectangleAnnot); annotationManager.redrawAnnotation(rectangleAnnot);

Can you provide the same for python3. (using Python 3.10.9)

PS. Currently, a lot of your documentation is in python version 2 and I am not able to find docs for python API just a few code snippets for different annotations, which are also not working for python3.

Thanks!

All of our Core API samples can be found in all languages, including Python:

Can you please help me with drawing a redaction annotation using python code and saving it without applying redaction, as I want to apply the redaction to it manually after loading the doc in webviewer.
