I've spilled 98% sulfuric on paper, and it turns charcoal black in seconds. I assume your after something a little easier to handle. Normal 20% sulfuric (car battery strength) eats holes in cotton after about 24 hours. Might do the same to paper since they are both derived from cellulose. Have you tried strong sodium hydroxide ? I think this can soften paper.
