    Dear Community,

    We have a use case to mask attachments and objects which include scanned word documents, PDFs, and image like TIFF, JPEG containing sensitive information. Volume of the objects in the range of half a million. 

    While I understand the TDM tool is largely intended towards data in tables/files; could you share any suggestions or recommendations on how to approach masking of volume of PDF, TIFF, JPEG type documents. 

    Thank you.

    Regards,
    Rahul

    Hi Rahul,

    I do not know of a way the TDM can help with this as it has no way of identifying what in an area in an image needs to be masked.
    Even with word or PDF files that are editable, an automated tool would need some way to identify what in the document needs to be masked, not sure how that would work.

    Maybe others have some ideas.
