Answer

The blog [here](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/automatically-extract-text-and-structured-data-from-documents-with-amazon-textract/) gives an example of you can redact certain content.

Answer

High level, Amazon Textract will extract the text from a document (PDF, TIFF, JPG or PNG) and then you need Amazon Comprehend to identify the entity of the words.

Answer

I'm one of the authors at [Strac](https://strac.io) where we expose APIs and No-Code solutions to automatically detect and redact sensitive or any configured data. We do redact data in invoices (pdfs, docx, pngs, jpegs, etc.) and also expose APIs for that. If you are interested, please let me know and I can show you a demo. Thanks!
