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
