True redaction removes the text and images from the file — not a black box on top. Plus real in-place text editing, fill + sign, reorder pages, and OCR.
LaunchEdit text in place, sign, redact, fill forms, and reorganize PDF files in your browser — all on your device. No upload, no subscription.
Drop two versions of a contract or drawing set. Moved notes read as moves, changed values light up digit by digit, and hidden text is named.
LaunchSide-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.
Drop a Gerber ZIP, an ODB++ .tgz or an IPC-2581 .xml and inspect every layer — compare revisions, snap-to-pad measure, run DRC and preview the board in 3D.
LaunchOpen Gerber, Excellon, ODB++ and IPC-2581 PCB files. Inspect layers, measure traces, run DRC, export to PNG / SVG / DXF.

Soy and legumes from West Africa
Dawadawa, iru and soumbala are West African names for one seasoning made from the seeds of the African locust bean tree. The hard seeds are boiled for many hours, shelled, boiled again, heaped in covered trays and left for one to three days while Bacillus bacteria heat the mass, make it sticky and alkaline, and give it a strong ammonia smell. Made in 6 steps over 31 h – 4.1 days. The longest step, ferment, takes 24 h – 3 days (Zannou O 2018) and runs at 25 °C → 45 °C (Opai-Tetteh S. 1999). Bacillus subtilis, the main fermenter and Bacillus pumilus and B. licheniformis do most of the fermenting.

Locust beans are so hard that they need the longest first boil of any West African seed condiment, up to a day. The countries differ mostly in how long they boil and ferment, which gives each name its own flavour.
Market products often have high bacterial counts from poor hygiene during making and storage, and some carry ochratoxin A and aflatoxins. Salting has been suggested to lower the microbial load. Cook the condiment into the dish.
Hazards the sources name: Staphylococcus from poor handling during making and sale; High aerobic counts (6.17–8.74 log10 cfu/g) in market soumbara, above the 6 log guide value; Ochratoxin A (mean 6 µg/kg) and aflatoxins in market iru.
Every number is labelled with how it is known. How this atlas is made
Campbell-Platt recorded in 1980 that Ghanaian groups (Dagarti, Dagomba, Frafra, Kusasi, Mossi) shape dawadawa differently, some mixing in soybean or groundnut. Odunfa first named Bacillus as the fermenter in 1981.
