GroupDocs.Redaction presents an easy-to-use app Remove Text from Pdf documents. The text removal app works for both the content of the document and its metadata.

Please upload your Pdf file, specify text phrase, and push Remove Now button. Our app will process your file and you can download the result.

"(?i)SearchPhrase" - case insensitive phrase
"(?<=preCondition)searchPhrase" - positive lookbehind (matches "searchPhrase" only if "preCondition" goes before)
"(?<!preCondition)searchPhrase" - negative lookbehind (matches "searchPhrase" only if "preCondition" doesn't go before)
"searchPhrase(?=postCondition)" - positive lookahead (matches "searchPhrase" only if it is followed by"postCondition")
"searchPhrase(?!postCondition)" - negative lookahead (matches "searchPhrase" only if it is not followed by"postCondition")

This web application is built using sanitization API implemented in the GroupDocs.Redaction for .NET library and supports the following features:
