I have to remove some text from a pdf file. Unfortunately the text is at the same position of each page of about 1500 pages. The manually work is: - select text or select textbox ("making a frame with the mouse over the textbox / the textboxes") - delete (press button DEL) - next page ..... Is it possible to "search and delete" over the hole ...
If you have Acrobat X, what you want to use to delete a bit of text is the Edit Text Tool in the Tools panel under the Content Pane. Keep in mind this is a touch-up type tool ( that used to be its name in a previous version, Touchup Tool) so it is not intended for major editing jobs like removing whole paragraphs that will alter the layout significantly.
If you have X or XI, you can go to the Tools Panel and select the Forms pane then click on Edit Form. This puts Acrobat into Form Edit Mode. Now you should be able to click on a text field, Right click and select Delete. Hope this helps, Dimitri. WindJack Solutions.
I often need to redact and/or delete text which is handwritten in a scanned pdf. Acrobat Pro 9 had a redaction tool. How is text deleted or redacted in Acrobat Pro 11?
For Acrobat X: Tools > Protection > Remove Hidden Information. In the Remove Hidden Information pane click the "Remove" button. If the tick is present adjacent to the Hidden Text entry then the OCR output is removed. For Acrobat 9: Document > Examine Document. In the Examine Document pane click the "Remove" button.
The best way to make big changes (and removing a line is a big change), is to go back to the original document, make the change there and then export the document to PDF again. If that is not possible, you may be able to convert your document to Word (File>Save as Other>MS Word), make your changes and then convert to PDF again. Karl Heinz Kremer.
Hi Todd, In Acrobat XI you can use the Tools-> Content Editing, Edit Text and Images tool ( if you have an earlier version the name of the tool has changed- used to be theText Edit tool). Once you select that tool place the cursor on the text to change and type in the fix. Of course the best way to do this is to go back to the original Word ...
In Acrobat XI, you would have access to a find&replace feature, that would take care of the spaces around your replacements. It would not reflow any text like e.g. MS Word would, but you would not end up with these big gaps in your file. Also, the export to Word is much improved in Acrobat XI over Acrobat 9.

Using Acrobat (ideally, Acrobat Pro as it has more functionality than Standard) use the Form tools to edit, delete, create form fields. If any form fields use Acrobat Javascript then you'd want to have a measure of comfort with this use of javascript. To detemine the version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader simply click on Help. The drop-down has an ...
