EDITORIAL NOTE

What PDF Search Index Remover removes

Use it when a PDF carries an embedded search index that should not travel with the document. This is a narrow sanitization step, not a replacement for removing visible text or metadata.

Explore the pdf directory

Sanitize the PDF deliberately

  1. Choose a PDF you are authorized to sanitize.
  2. Run the search-index removal operation.
  3. Open the returned PDF and confirm that the pages still render as expected.

Confirm the cleaned PDF

  • Input: PDF. Output: PDF.
  • The operation targets the search index; it does not remove visible page text, annotations, or every other form of metadata.
  • The isolated processing path removes its temporary working directory after the request.
