Thanks!

Then I'll got around it by covering up the existing text with another layer of text of my format.]]> Mon, 22 May 2006 14:13:18 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/reformat-existing-text_topic420_post1860.html#1860 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/reformat-existing-text_topic420_post1859.html#1859 Author: chicks

Short answer - you can't.

Long answer - you might be able to do this at the COS object level, meaning that you would need to GetPageContent(), change the low-level object code, then SetPageContent() to apply the changes back to the PDF. You'll need to be an expert on the PDF format to get this to work, however, if it works at all.

You should be able to do this in Acrobat with the text touchup tool, or in NitroPDF (haven't tried it).

I need to find the text on a PDF and change its format from regular to italic. I know how to find the text using GetPageText. But how can I select the text and apply different format?

Thanks!]]> Mon, 22 May 2006 12:16:53 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/reformat-existing-text_topic420_post1858.html#1858
