Effortless Email Handling

Email correspondence is a crucial part of FOI requests, often accompanied by attachments and complex structures. EzeScan makes managing email content effortless by automatically rendering email bodies and attachments in the correct order, with separator pages to delaminate each document. Compound emails are automatically dissected and placed in order including all their attachments.

Powerful Redaction Capabilities

Ensuring compliance and protecting sensitive information are paramount in FOI requests. EzeScan’s advanced redaction capabilities allow you to search and redact private or sensitive information on the fly. Create predefined redaction classifications to streamline the process and use across multiple documents. Redacted content is automatically identified, blacked out across the entire document and permanently removed from the PDF text layer.
