Delete Text and images in a pdf.

I want to search and then delete all occurances of some text and specific images
in a pdf

If you mean that you want to "re-flow" the text, that's not possible. You can replace the color of the black rectangles with white, though. Edit one of those rectangels (redaction annotation) and set its fill color to white. Then right-click it and select to use the current properties as defaults. Then run the Search & Remove command again.

How do I leave editable text and images in a PDF?

I recently bought a flyer template and it came as an editable PDF. Here is one of the templates http://www.wendygarratt.com/images/flyer.pdf
Every field, both text and graphic object, is fully editable in the free Adobe reader. I have Acrobat X and have tried all the methods of producing something like this but nothing has worked. I wish to produce not just one page template PDFs that can be edited like the one above, but I also have a 20+ page magazine, which currently is distributed in PDF form and I wanted certain image and text fields within the magazine to be customisable too.
I design the magazine using InDesign and the exported pages are composed of 1 large background image with text fields laid over the top. I have tried exporting it as an interactive PDF, ticking the layers option for Acrobat, but when I try to create an editable form (Tools>Forms>Create>Open file) it does not recognise any of the text fields at all.
Can someone please help me before I slam my head repeatedly in a door? I have been searching for a solution for so long and I'm getting rather frustrated.
Thank you in advance

Thanks for the replies I've had so far, but I really need some detailed help to sort this.
I want to be able to create a PDF that has editable text and editable graphics over a background image, that can be edited in the free Adobe Reader, as per this item - http://www.wendygarratt.com/images/flyer.pdf
I know this was designed in LiveCycle and I have LiveCycle and Adobe Acrobat Pro X, but LiveCycle is new to me. I am a quick learner (I use Photoshop, InDesign, etc) and need help in getting started.
I am willing to work with someone to help get this sorted but it is urgent that I get to grips with this.
Thanks so much for helping

Will Adobe ExportPDF convert a pdf with text and images to docx ?

I have tried to convert an adobe pdf, which includes text and images, to a docx file. The Adobe ExportPDF has not been able to do it - comes back with many errors.

Mostly it can do it, though you can't expect a precise match on the layout. What errors do you get?

I am trying to convert an Illustrator cs6 file to a PDF and every time I do it, I lose all text and images. Can someone provide some assistance? Thank you!

It's always a good idea to supply platform and AI version info.
How are you "converting" the file? Are you choosing "Save As" and selecting PDF from the file format options? This will bring up additional save options. I would suggest "Illustrator Default" setting unless you have specific needs.

Printing text and images together on a single page (printjob)

Hello all,
how am I able to print both text and images on the same page (defined by one printjob), using the javax.print API?
It seems that one printjob (one page) can have only one flavor, that is text, or GIF, or JPEG, etc. Since the majority of print jobs out there usually require text and graphics on the same sheet this seems a bit strange.
I have resorted on creating a PDF file through the iText library, and then printing by converting to GIF (quality is significantly reduced though, not an option), or by using the Acrobat Reader command line from java (looks dangerous for batch printing). My printer does not support printing directly using the PDF flavour.
So, I solved the problem by converting to PDF, but printing is still cumbersome. Any other ideas?
Thank you for your time,
Ari.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Need help with adding formatted text and images to Crystal Report?

Here's my scenario:
I have a customer statement that's generated as a crystal report and that has a placeholder for advertisement. The advertisement is mixture of formatted text and images. Until now we only had one advertisement that was always used on the report. The new requirement is that we would have a pool of hundreds of advertisements and would need to display one specific advertisement on the customer statement based on various marketing criteria. They key is that the advertisement content will be determined programmatically and cannot be hardcoded into the report. I'm using Crystal2008 with .net SDK.
Here are the solutions I thought of, but I'm still rather lost and would appreciate your help/opinion.
1) Pass HTML or RTF to the report
Not really sure if this is possible and how to get it done. Also how would I pass in images? Would display formatting be reliable when exporting to PDF?
2) Create each add as a subreport and append it programatically
I actually have this working, but I only know how to append a new section to the end of the report and then load the subreport to the section. I have no other controll of the placement. Is there a way to dynamically load a subreport to a predefined section in the main report? How about adding a dummy subreport in the main report as a placeholder and then replacing it with a different subreport? How could I do this?
3) Pass an Image to the report
I would create each advertisement as an image and then would somehow add the image to the report. How would I load the image and control the placement? Could I somehow define a placeholder for the image in the main report-maybe a dummy image to be replaced?
Thank you.

Hello Pavel,
I would got the third way.
You can use dynamic images in your report.
Just by changing the URL to the image the image can be changed.
Please see the [Crystal Manual|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008/en/xir3_cr_usergde_en.pdf] and search for images.

Is it possible to extract the text and images using PHP

Hi friends,
Is it possible to extract the text and images using PHP, in the same order as it is in the PDF?
Else is it possible extract the same as XML using PHP, or ASP
I googled it but its in vain, any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Mike,
Thanks for your quick reply,
I mean is it possible to parse the PDF line by line using the PHP.
I extracted the whole text but couldn't the images. Since the PDF's images are decoded using various methods like DCTDecode, JPXDecode, etc.
The text is decoded with FlateDecode, which i breaked using a function in PHP.
Thanks,

I need serious help please.. We do translations of schoolbooks, I looked for an over-type function but were unable to find, we are working in indesign CS 5. it takes up allot of time to delete text and type in the new language.

Argh that's frustrating! I never noticed that key did not work in InDesign.
A bit of research and it turns out the MS Office has this as an option in their software. But I cannot find an option in InDesign preferences to make this work.
However, somethings are not listed in the shortcuts and preferences and are hidden triggers in InDesign which can be accessed through a script.
I'm not saying it's possible to activate the Insert Key through a script, but it's plausible that it can be activated.
Maybe ask on the scripting forum? InDesign Scripting
I know this may be a possibility as with InDesign's earlier versions of PDF export to interactive documents there previously was no way to export interactive pdfs as single pages if in Spreads.
But the option to toggle this setting was scriptable.

How can I erase the residual background text and images from the backside of a scanned page?

How can I erase the residual background text and images from the backside of a scanned page?
Also, I wanted to know what each subscriptions included as far as my question above is concerned?
I am trying to edit a scanned page (pdf file) by changing some words and erasing the background from the page that is showing through it since the paper is so thin and want to know which subscription to buy in order to complete these tasks?

This cannot be done in Reader. I think you will need software like Photoshop. You may be able to get buy with Photoshop Elements, but I haven't used recent versions of that software. Using either software this will not be an automated task.

The latest Firefox version won't expand to make text and images more visible on my 32" screen, although I have tried to adjust the advanced Windows appearance settings in the same way that has worked in previous versions of Firefox.

Normally I have had to go to Control Panel; Appearances and Themes; Display; Settings; Advanced; Custom; and then I adjust the Customize Setting to 155% (149 dpi). I have hit on this setting through trial and error; larger and icons like the cursor get big and fuzzy. Smaller than 155% and text and images are tiny on the 32" wide screen. This time that procedure doesn't seem to work. The text and images remain too small regardless of setting, although the cursor icon gets big. I can manually zoom the pages, but that is clumsy and has to be redone. Does anyone know of an easy setting fix? I am not too smart about this stuff--mostly trial and error, but I do want to be able to enjoy my wide screen. Thanks!

How can i copy line with text and image to ms word

When I insert an image in textflow using InlineGraphicElement it works, but when I copy the line with the image to MS Word it copies only the text (not the image).
How can i copy the image to MS Word?

If you want copy formatted text and image to MS Word, you need to give MS Word rtf markup, because Word can recognize rtf markup but not TLF markup.
So you need to create a custom clipboard to paste a rtf markup. It's a large feature for you, because you need a tlf-rtf converter in your custom clipboard.
TLF Custom Clipboard Example:
package
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.desktop.ClipboardFormats;
    import flashx.textLayout.container.ContainerController;
    import flashx.textLayout.conversion.ITextImporter;
    import flashx.textLayout.conversion.TextConverter;
    import flashx.textLayout.edit.EditManager;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.*;
    import flashx.undo.UndoManager;
    // Example code to install a custom clipboard format. This one installs at the front of the list (overriding all later formats)
    // and adds a handler for plain text that strips out all consonants (everything except aeiou).
    public class CustomClipboardFormat extends Sprite
        public function CustomClipboardFormat()
            var textFlow:TextFlow = setup();
            TextConverter.addFormatAt(0, "vowelsOnly_extraList", VowelsOnlyImporter, AdditionalListExporter, "air:text" /* it's a converter for cliboard */);
        private const markup:String = '<TextFlow whiteSpaceCollapse="preserve" version="2.0.0" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008"><p><span color=\"0x00ff00\">Anything you paste will have all consonants removed.</span></p></TextFlow>';
        private function setup():TextFlow
            var importer:ITextImporter = TextConverter.getImporter(TextConverter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT);
            var textFlow:TextFlow = importer.importToFlow(markup);
            textFlow.flowComposer.addController(new ContainerController(this,500,200));
            textFlow.interactionManager = new EditManager(new UndoManager());

How can i create a simple netweaver portal page that shows text and images?

Hi,
i have a simple question or maybe it's not so simple.
I am completly new to SAP Netweaver 2004s Portal. At the moment i'm trying to understand the struture of the whole thing. I already know how to create roles, worksets and pages and i know how to combine the different elements so a user can acces them.
And now i want to create a simple portal page that shows text and images. Is it possible to create such a simple page with the portal content studio? What iView do i have to use?
(I just want to create a start page with a welcome text on it.)

Marc
Considering that you would any ways go ahead with complex development from this simple start page I recommend create a Web dynpro Iview for your start page (include the Iview in your page).
For putting the contents use Netweaver Developer studio to build a simple start page application and put your static text on that Iview.
Please go through the following log after your NWDS development is over - This will make you comfortable for further challenging work.

My hard drive died last week, and I needed to install a new one. Previously, I was able to save a .doc with text and inserted photo to .pdf and then to .jpg. Now I can get the .pdf but can't determine what to do to convert to .jpg. Does anyone know ?

Rather than do that, which means starting over from scratch, losing all your edits, organisation and so on, why not simply use iPhoto Library Manager to revert the Library to the older version? Easier, less destructive.
The instructions on that are here
If you really want to start over: you can access the Originals folder simply by going to your Pictures Folder and finding the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.

How to invoke alt-text for images in a PDF file by Automation

Hi,
Can any one help me?

What do you mean "invoke" alt-text? If Alt-text is there, then it will be presented to a screen reader.

Stretched text and image with FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE after Air player update

One of my Air applications uses StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE to switch to full screen during the presentation of some sheets.
Everything worked fine untill some users reported a streching of texts and images in the sheets.
It turns out that the problem occurs after an update from the Adobe Air Player to 3.1 from 2.7.
The first screen shots shows the text as it should be, the second screen shot shows the text after the update of the Air Player.
The code used to go into the Full Screen mode is:
    public function setFullScreenInteractive(fullScreenWidth:int = Constants.INT_SCREEN_WIDTH_SMALL, fullScreenHeight:int = Constants.INT_SCREEN_HEIGHT_SMALL):void
                         s.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle(          0, 0, fullScreenWidth, fullScreenHeight);
        s.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
with Constants.INT_SCREEN_WIDTH_SMALL = 800 and Constants.INT_SCREEN_HEIGHT_SMALL = 600.
I can reproduce the problem on a couple of computers with Windows Xp but it's not happening on all the computers I've tested.
Any idea how to fix this (without telling my users to Uninstall the current Air Player and reinstall the Air Player 2.7)?
Regards,
Bart

Hi Bart,
Unfortunately the correct screenshot link appears to broken. Could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please post back with the URL so that others affected can add their comments and votes. It would also help if we had a sample project/application that we can reproduce this issue with. If you'd like to keep this private, please feel free to send it to me directly at [email protected]
