How to cut/delete a picture from pdf doc?

Post by mattad »

Is there a way to delete a (one or more) picture from a doc?
I want e.g. to delete an advertising picture/banner from a printed pdf article.

Is this somehow possible?

Similarly is it possible to delete some text from a pdf doc?

At this time - you cannot delete it (though that is coming in a future release) - but you can cover it so it cannot be seen,

see here :

If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

Ok, could you give me an idea what "future" means? Is it a matter of weeks/month/years?

hi mattad,

at present we do not have a firm date, it is under development right now and is slated for later this year.

I have a similar question. I know how to cover up a logo, can a logo be inserted in it's place?

you could indeed place an image over an image. You can use copy/paste to add an image to a PDF using the Viewer. Just be sure that you copy the image from an application that has rendered it like Paint or even IE because if you use copy in Windows Explorer you will copy the image file not the image itself and this won't paste into the Viewer.

If you are doing this more than once you might want to make a stamp: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowled ... Stamp-Tool
