What it does
Use this for GDPR/KVKK compliance, stripping names out of contracts, or cleaning customer data out of reports before publishing. The key thing: this tool does not just paint a black box over the content, it **actually deletes it** from the file. You cannot recover it with copy-paste or OCR.
How to use it
- 1Drag PDFs into the list.
- 2Type each term to remove on its own line in Terms to Remove (e.g. a customer name, an ID number).
- 3If you want pattern matching, turn on Use Regex.
- 4Set the Colour and optional Overlay Text (e.g. [REDACTED]).
- 5Click Run.
Use cases

Add the PDF, type John Smith into terms, run. Every instance is removed.
Bulk personal-data cleanup
Add 30 PDFs, turn on regex mode, type the ID / phone / email patterns each on their own line, run. All matches are caught and removed.
Public-ready blackouts
Add the PDF, type the secret terms, set overlay text to [REDACTED]. The output shows a black box with [REDACTED] over each removed area.
