Systems, methods and products for uploading scanned documents for collaboration. A user chooses, prior to uploading a document, whether the user wishes for the document to be converted to a text-searchable PDF and/or processed to recognize objects in the image. When the document is scanned, it is uploaded to the cloud based system with the user-selected options, and the PDF/image is processed. The upload may be a multipart, parallel upload to increase the speed of the upload. When the PDF/image is received at the cloud based system, it is processed according to the user-selected options to generate metadata (text or recognized objects) which is stored with the uploaded document. The PDF/image and metadata are shared with users who can then search the metadata for the PDF/image.

Systems and methods for scanning documents to a collaborative cloud system

A whitelisting approach to redaction may include receiving a normalization request containing a binary file with complex structured data, such as a workbook or spreadsheet file, from an application on a user device through a redaction service provided by an e-discovery platform. In response to the normalization request, a normalization process starts and runs asynchronously to apply a whitelist to the binary file. The whitelist is configurable and specifies features (e.g., data types, workbook object types, etc.) of the binary file that are considered safe by a party to a lawsuit or investigation. The normalization process includes a pre-processing stage, a transferring stage, and a post-processing stage to push all the data to a visible level and produce a normalized document with the whitelisted features. An artifact containing the normalized document can then be generated and used to render a normalized representation for interactive redaction.
