   Dear all

I have thousand pages document where each page contains rectangle with text COPY inside.

I need to remove this from each page and I would like to make this job done easy.

When I open such document in PDF EDITOR I can clik on rectangle which is selected together with text and click on DELETE and I am done.

However to do this 3000 times :-(

Can this be achieved with quickpdf library?

Many thanks for your help

Vladimir

	Hi Vladimir! You can't remove visible textcontent from pdf-pages with QuickPDF. Real PDF-Editing is hard stuff. What you can do is text-extraction with option 3, searching in the textcontent for your special string, getting the string-rectangle, drawing with colour white on this rectangle, save the file. This makes sense if your special string is somewhere in the frame area (outside the normal textcontent). Cheers, Ingo
