Does someone have an ACL script that can replace all text in a document with "xxxxxxxx" or make them otherwise unreadable so we can sanitize our production documents before sending them to PTC Support?

‌what about an ACL with 50 find/replaces? Change a to x. Change A to X. b, B, c, C, and so on. (Skip x and X.) If you're really paranoid, change ' and maybe , also. You'll have to decide if hyphenation and line/page breaks might be changed enough to alter the bug behavior.

Thanks, Paul, I was thinking along those lines, I will try it!

replace(".","x",0x2004)  replaces everything but generated text.
