Before & After:

Known Issues

If you have nay special chars(example: an emoji like Star 🌟) in the PDF file, it gives a minor complain during execution. But it still does the job, so you can ingore that "char or object error" which you see in the output.

Note:

In general you can use passifypdf to protect your PDF files against an opportunistic attacker. But you should not rely on this for mission-critical data.
