Enhancement: Ability to mask pages of a document through the API #285

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Ability to mask pages of a dosument through the API, as it is done e.g. on 
Google Books.

This would be essntial for presenting excerpts of premium documents that have 
to be purchased. 

If possible, it would be great to have an additional parameter that defines 
that every "X" page has to be masked, e.g. "3" -> every third page is masked, 
"5" -> every fifth page is masked ...

Addition:

"0" -> no page is masked.

Addition:

"1" -> all pages are masked.
"-1" -> all pages are masked, but only the 1st page is unmasked.

I don't believe masking like this is good enough solution as it would allow for 
a malicious user to manipulate parameters and get access to protected pages
