Abstract
A system and method for providing a means for electronic redaction of visually or aurally discernible information without multiple authorship of information is disclosed. The system comprises a data selector for selecting a portion of content from within an original document for redaction, a data redactor for marking the portion of content from within the original document selected for redaction as being redacted and for generating a digital representation of the redacted data for maintaining the structure and layout of the original document when replacing the portion of content from within the original document selected for redaction, and an output document file rendered for generating a redacted document by replacing the selected content for redaction with the digital representation of the selected content within the document to generate a redacted document. The redacted document does not retain a recoverable version of the redacted content from the original document.
