Perhaps Adobe Illustrator can read/write arbitrary Postscript.
Also pstoedit can convert from Postscript to other editable formats.
But perhaps the best option is to put the text you want to omit inside
\hidetext{} command, and add to the preamble
\usepackage{soul,texpower}
%\newcommand{\hidetext}[1]{#1}
If you do want to show the hidden text, add a % before the first line, and
remove the % before the 2nd one.
