Run this tool

The file is processed on this server and deleted as soon as the response is sent. Nothing is stored, and the result is returned directly to you rather than parked behind a link.

The document
Up to 25 MB. The file's contents are checked, not just its name.
The line
One line, up to 200 characters. A line too wide for the page is drawn smaller rather than cut off.
Eighteen points in from the edge, the same on every page.
Drawn on top of the page's own content: where the line overlaps what is already there, both remain visible — the document is not reflowed to make room.
