Hello,
I have a PDF that has text embedded. I can select the text, but I would like to delete it from the PDF. Is that possible somehow?

Re: Delete existing text
Hi davidnovo,
you cannot in the current build of the Viewer directly edit text that is not an annotation (comment).
While this is coming in V3 for now you must mask over the content as described here: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowled ... F-document

sigh. Just my luck. The background of this PDF is textured, so there is no easy way to cover it with a block of white. Thanks. Looking forward to the new version.
