Editing Text in a Multi-Page PDF

Post by Davide78 »

Hi, sometimes I edit PDFs because I don't have the native file or even just for convenience, that is, I avoid exporting them to Word because the changes I have to make are limited (correct the text or the size of the images, etc.).
PDF XChange has all the commands I need!
The only difficulty I have is that the text of the PDF file is not "managed" as a single text, but in blocks of text per page and this makes it difficult for example to skip the page of the paragraph you are editing.
Am I using the program incorrectly or is there no solution to this "inconvenience"?
Thanks in advance

Hello Davide78,

The thing is that content inside a PDF document is normally stored on a per page basis (there are a few exceptions where you can e.g. have one form field and have it's 'widgets' appear on multiple pages - this changing one also changes the others), but in general text on a PDF page is independent of any other text or content on any of the other pages of the file. There is no single "flowing" wall of text as e.g. in an ebook or docx file format. So I am afraid that there isn't really a solution for now on reflowing content between pages.

Kind regards,
Stefan
