Removing Text Box Border in AutoCAD PDFs?

[hbhosch]

Hi,

This question may have likely been raised before and answered, but I couldn't find it with a simple search of the forums.

How do you remove the text box border that surrounds all text within an AutoCAD PDF file?

Here's an illustration of how bad it gets:

Hi hbhosch,

Thank you for the post and welcome to our forums. You may try to use the Edit content tool, or if this a comment object, you should be able to remove the border from the properties toolbar (View> Other Panes> Properties).

It seems your screenshot was not uploaded correctly. To upload a screenshot, you must save it in a Zip file, or provide an in-line link to the image itself using these tags:

Code: Select all

[img]Image URL here[/img]

I use Imgur to upload images and grab the link from there.

Cheers!

You were probably looking for this:

From what I learn by reading that thread, is that you should be able to only select the AutoCad text boxes, by making a pre-selection of only the AutoCad comments (they should all be of the same Author).
If so - please try this for yourself - you could simply delete these text boxes to get rid of it.

And if you are interested, you can try the same thing via PDF-XChange Editor (instead of via the Viewer).
I suppose you will get no publicity stamps on your PDF pages when saving a PDF where you only have removed some comments.

If you do no succeed to remove the text boxes, then you can always post a sample PDF to this forum.

Best regards.

Thanks for that Willy, you're on fire this week, it's much appreciated

hbhosch - the Editor should suppress these boxes by default, as we've implemented a workaround, given that many AutoCAD users do not like these and that Adobe does the same thing. As Willy mentioned, I'd suggest taking a look at the Editor:
