Black out My Number (Japan)
Finds 12-digit individual numbers, removes the text itself, flattens and strips author data.
When to use it
Japan's My Number (individual number) may not be kept or passed on beyond its purpose, so copies that leave must have the number removed. This recipe finds 12-digit numbers checked against the check digit and removes the underlying text, not just the look. It then flattens annotations and form fields and strips author and software data. The Leak check tool confirms nothing remains.
