What is involved in removing an image from a PDF document and inserting a new one?

Our form producing process is very typical:
(1) Start with a TIFF image, create a fresh PDF document.
(2) By adding items such as links and interactive fields, convert the read-only document into an interactive form.
Step (2) may take a lot of work, but fortunately when modifications are needed, it is always possible to edit the individual items. No need to redo the whole form from scratch.
There are some cases, however, in which we have invested a substantial amount of work in Step (2), but we need to modify the underlying image, removing it and replacing it with a new one. We obviously don't want to destroy all the work done in (2).
I envision the procedure as taking a rug from underneath a person and putting a new one.
What is involved in doing that? Can that be done at the JavaScript level? Are there commercial packages that can do that? Is the Acrobart SDK required?

How can I strip a PDF document of all its images so that only the test remains?

In Acrobat there is a Preflight fixup that move images, text, and graphics to separate layers. This allows you to turn the layer that contains the images off. This doesn't get rid of them, but it might be sufficient for your needs. If you want to delete the images, having them on a separate layer makes it easier to select them with the TouchUp Object tool to delete them. Unfortunately, you can't simply delete the images layer. You may also want to remove any graphics (vector) content as well.

You'll need to contact the previous owner to get them to remove the account.
There is no way to bypass this security feature. If you can't contact the previous owner you have wasted your money and have a phone you'll never be able to use.

Remove watermark/image from existing PDF?

I need to be able to remove a watermark from existing PDFs we have stored in a database. This is a legitimate requirement (rather than trying to remove trial software watermarks) as we have > 10 million PDFs stored with a "copy" watermark that we now want to store without the watermark.
I want to write a service in .NET which can do this programmatically.
Is there any Adobe SDK to support this.? if YES..please help.!
Any samples appriciated..
satish

The first issue you will face is trying to determine HOW the watermark was
added. If it was done in a standard way by a well written tool, then it
will be easily to locate and remove. However, if not, you will have your
work cut out for you.
Either way, you will not be able to use .NET with the Acrobat SDK for this
type of low-level operation.

How do I remove background images from a PDF? Using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard.

I have a file I need to print off, but the document is 100 pages lond and each page as a very obnoxious background image that makes it difficult to read the content, and I really don't want to waste the ink.
I have tried a few things with no luck:
-Tried replacing document background color in the 'Accessibility' tab in preferences.
-Tried unchecking the 'Display large images' field in the 'Page Display' tab in preference - this leaves a dark gray background that I can't get rid of, which is almost as bad as the original image.
-Tried several combinations under the 'Color Management' tab in preference to lessen the gray background achieved from the previous step. I can only brighten the shade slighty, but there is still a fair amount of gray background.
I just want a white background, or a clear background, and I have not seen any article or help topic on how to accomplish this. Please help!
Mike

You might want to see if you can select the background with the object touchup tool. If so, can you then just delete the selected object. May take a while to go through the document, but if it solves the problem you are ahead. You may be able to select it with JavaScript and repeat the process. My point of using the object touchup tool is that it may not be a background set by Acrobat, but something that is simply labeled as an image from the Acrobat viewpoint.

Remove ALL Images from PDF Export?

I'd like to remove ALL images from a PDF export (Indesign CS6), with the intention of having the smallest file size possible for review. All the images are Photoshop PSDs.
I have created a PDF Preset (PDF 1.7) that omits EPS, PDF and Bitmap.
That covers any PSDs that contain opaque backgrounds, i.e. are considered to be non-transparent. However, any PSDs that do NOT contain such backgrounds still appear in the exported PDF. I assume they are NOT considered to be Bitmaps?!?
I've gone for maximal compression of images (in the Preset) also just to see how small I can get the file, but it's still over a meg, and I'd really like even smaller. I live in a rural part of England where net access is painfully slow, and even a few meg of data takes far too long to upload, not to mention the constant drop-outs. Consider further that my document is likely to grow by several orders of magnitude and hopefully you can see why I'd like to sort this issue out as soon as possible.
I've not done any scripting but assume it would be trivial to hide images with a script. However, I'm not sure how such a script might know how to make visible only the images that were previously hidden by the script. Obviously I would not wish to unhide images that must stay hidden. Maybe some form of image/object tagging, if that's even possible in this product, i.e. tag them "temp hide" on first pass of the script, and so forth.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Regards,
James

@James – to mark the container frames of the nonprinting images by a fill color, you could add the following lines of code in the for loop:
allGraphicsArray[n].nonprinting = true;
//The parent of the graphic is the container that holds it.
//We could use it to fill it with a tint of e.g. 20% of black:
allGraphicsArray[n].parent.fillColor = "Black";
allGraphicsArray[n].parent.fillTint = 20;
But this approach will add a new problem for images, that only use a portion of the holding graphic frame. Or are only partly visible due to a clipping path or a clipping mask or totally transparent areas due to transparent pixels.
Already colored backgrounds will be recolored…
@Sandee – I see the advantage of the PostScript to Distiller way in this situation, but there are two disadvantages:
1. Live transparency will be flattened (could be no issue in this use case, but you never know).
2. The gray area with the big X will be applied also to parts of the images where no pixels are present (transparent pixels in PhotoShop or TIFF files).
To work around all these issues we need a more complex script that is building a path object around the transparent parts of an image or using an applied clipping path for that purpose and fill that with a gray tint (and maybe with an X).
Here some screen shots to illustrate the problems (with or without using PostScript/Distiller):
1. Original set up:
One placed PhotoShop file with transparency stacked upon the text frame.
The image inside its holding frame is selected.
The visibility of one of its layers depicting a second chair on the left side is switched off.
2. The same setup in a different view:
3. After running the script with the two additional lines of code:
Using the PostScript method would do nearly the same plus adding a cross using the area of the selected image.

How do you remove duplicate images from your all images file on your mac desktop

How do you remove duplicate images from your all images file on your mac desktop?

Don't under any circumstances.
All images is not a file. It's not a place. It's a list. Specifically, it's the result of an instruction: List all the images on my machine.
When you delete something from All Images, then you have no idea what you're removing from where - files that are part of word processing docs, interface elements, corrupting your iPhoto Library. There are many perfectly legitimate reasons why you might have what appears to be duplicates but are not.
Rule number One: Never delete anything on your machine whose job you don't understand.

How can I remove an image from its background and save it? (Photoshop cs6)

Hello,
I am very new to the photoshop world and am trying to remove an image from its background ( as a stand-alone) and save it. Is there a way to do this in Photoshop CS6? I have looked at tutorials but only found how to remove the image but not how to save the image as a stand alone with no background.
Any help would be appreciated
Erika

Hi Erika,
Are you trying to save a portion of an image with a transparent background? It may help to post a screenshot of the image that you're working with as well as your layers panel.
I've included a few tips below that may help you with your situation. If you need additional help, please feel free to post again
Deleting a background and saving an image with a transparent background
1. Here I am working with an image of a santa hat that I've cut out from a white background. I have two layers, the cut-out santa hat and the original file. I'm going to delete the background layer so that I have just one layer - the cut-out santa hat:
2. You'll see that a checkerboard pattern has appeared behind the santa hat. This means that the background is transparent.
3. You can then go to File > Save As... and select PNG, Photoshop PSD, or TIFF from the Format dropdown menu. These file formats will save the cut-out portion of your image on its own, while preserving the transparent background.

Hi Gumby694,
You can only get the profile back if you plug into a computer that has the configuration profile in Apple Configurator or get the profile wirelessly from an MDM.
Hope this answers your question.
