Examples

Shows how to enable the removal of personal information during a manual save.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)

# Insert some content with personal information.
doc.built_in_document_properties.author = "John Doe"
doc.built_in_document_properties.company = "Placeholder Inc."

doc.start_track_revisions(doc.built_in_document_properties.author, datetime.now())
builder.write("Hello world!")
doc.stop_track_revisions()

# This flag is equivalent to File -> Options -> Trust Center -> Trust Center Settings... ->
# Privacy Options -> "Remove personal information from file properties on save" in Microsoft Word.
doc.remove_personal_information = save_without_personal_info

# This option will not take effect during a save operation made using Aspose.Words.
# Personal data will be removed from our document with the flag set when we save it manually using Microsoft Word.
doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + "Document.remove_personal_information.docx")
doc = aw.Document(ARTIFACTS_DIR + "Document.remove_personal_information.docx")

self.assertEqual(save_without_personal_info, doc.remove_personal_information)
self.assertEqual("John Doe", doc.built_in_document_properties.author)
self.assertEqual("Placeholder Inc.", doc.built_in_document_properties.company)
self.assertEqual("John Doe", doc.revisions[0].author)
