Permanently obscure any text matching a specific pattern in a document.
Any valid regular expression can be provided to the node. All matches, across all pages, will be permanently removed from the document, including any text layer data in the PDF. Use this node to obscure any data that might have a common format in your documents. All documents must be in PDF format, and be text-searchable to be processed by this node.
Depending on the application that generated the PDF, the text layer may not line up properly with the image on some PDFs. In such cases, use a PDF convert node. Square 9’s PDF generator can reliably position image under text for image based PDF files.
