How to select and delete a common image or object that is found in all pages of a pdf?

I want to delete a logo that is present in all pages of a pdf?
how to select all similar objects and delete at once. this is possible with other app like Infix PDF editor.

It is sad that this option is not available in my favourite pdf xchange editor...

Hello hafeesh,

Because of how PDF files are structured, your logo is likely separate object for each of your document's pages (some objects could appear at more than one location in the same PDF file, but your logos are likely separate). So removing the logo as an object will require you to do it one page at a time, which can be time consuming on larger files.

However using the Redaction tool you should be able to place it on one page, and then duplicate your redaction rectangle to all other pages, then apply the redaction and effectively remove the logo from all pages at the same time:

If it is a bitmap, you could edit it with the internal editor and, for example, convert it to white, or crop it down to a few white pixels. Then all occurrences of the image should become modified to be invisible accordingly at the same time.

Hth & Cheers

With a little bit of chance, it goes about a "watermark".

In that case, you will find it via the Organize-tab > Watermarks > Manage...
In the "Manage Watermarks"-dialog-box, you can select the watermark and click "Remove".

Hello David and Willy,

Thank you both for your suggestions. Yes - it would be nice if it is the same object duplicated on all pages, or a watermark, but my experience is that in the majority of cases each page has a separate object on it. That's why I went on to suggest the redaction tool right away.

@hafeesh - if you can provide us with a non sensitive sample file - we will be happy to take a check and advise if any of the suggestions David and Willy gave might work (as these will be neater than using the redaction tool).



Kind regards,
Stefan
