How do I replace an object on multiple pages

Post by Music1609 »

:D I just started working with PDF-XChange Editor. I have two documents of over 800 pages each. I have to replace the same object with the same replacement on every page, both documents. I have been changing them individually one at a time. Is there a way to do 800 pages at the same time, like Find/Replace in MS Word?

Hello, Music1609

Assuming that these items to be replaced are in the exact same coordinates on each page, using the "mark for redaction" tool would be the best way to remove them. (located on the protect tab)

Simply place the redaction area over that area on the first page, and configure it to have a "redaction color" you need (most likely "none", so that there is transparent blank space after applying it). Then use the steps here to duplicate that redaction block to every page: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgeba ... te-objects
After that, click apply all" for the redaction, and then you can place the object to replace that in the same position, and use the same duplication method to place a copy on all other pages.
