Editing native PDF elements

Post by lidds »

I want to give the ability within my application to edit native PDF elements, I noticed you already have this feature within PDFXChange Editor. I would like to know if the following is possible:

1. How to activate PDF native text editor tool?
2. Is there a possibility to do a search and replace text feature that would work on native PDF text fields?
3. How to enable vector editor tool?
4. Whilst testing the edit PDF vector tool, I noticed that if I selected a circle for example this might also select other shapes on the PDF, almost like they were grouped together. Is it possible to run a command that would ungroup the elements and then maybe the user could draw a region around the graphic and group these together?

Thanks

Simon
