I have submitted a PR to 'pdf-redact-tools' tonight. The new feature removes the yellow printer dots by converting the document to black and white: https://github.com/firstlookmedia/pdf-redact-tools/pull/23
EDIT- checked the source:
It looks like imagemagick's 'threshold' [0] command is being used, so everything is max/min/black/white:
