I'd like to remove the searchable text layer of every PDF in my digital library. It's a lot of PDFs! Will this app (or Xchange Editor) help me to automate this process?

Hello signsinthedust,
One way to approach this for multiple documents is to use the Sanitize Document tool in PDF Tools and select only those options:
Other option that comes to mind is to Rasterize Pages or Print the documents using the virtual printer driver - also available via the PDF Tools.
