Modifying specific text elements

[ashmid]

I am using PDF Tools SDK Pro to manipulate a set of PDF documents. The PDF documents contain bookmarks, images, text, and more. I need to modify a few specific properties of certain text elements.

I understand from another thread on the forum that there is no way with the current PDF Tools to modify specific text elements without rewriting the entire document (https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... =44&t=7312).

I would like to request, then: can you please post sample C# code which performs the task of reading one PDF with all its elements (bookmarks, text, images, etc.) and rewriting it into a new PDF? That way I'll be able to insert code to catch the rewriting of the text elements, and to modify them as needed before rewriting them.

I'll note: in the help file for the function PXCp_ET_AnalyzePageContent() there is a function which demonstrates how to read all text and rewrite it into another file. That's a good start. But I want to make sure that I preserve *everything* else about the PDF, also - images, bookmarks, annotations, logical page numbering elements, etc. Hence I'd like to request sample code to do an accurate rewriting of an existing PDF.

Hi, ashmid.

I'm afraid but you will be able to do it only with our new PDF-Editor SDK (upcoming).

Well, then, even if the current version of the SDK can't preserve everything, I imagine it can preserve most things. My current project unfortunately can't wait for the next version - we need to work somehom with the Pro SDK that we've purchased. So, let's say we limit it to Text streams, Images, and Bookmarks. Can you post code that will read in a PDF's text streams, images, and bookmarks, and then rewrite them one by one into a new PDF, such that I can modify individual text elements as they are rewritten?

Hi,

I am afraid we really cannot provide extensive examples to order - please review what you wish to code and use the current examples and documentation to allow you to do so yourself and should you still be having issues - then send us a working example restricted the problem items in both project source and compiled form with any required 3rd party dll's, resources (e.g. images, PDF files, text files etc) to allow us to both run your compiled code and review your project source and we will endeavour to assist as best we can. Please ZIP/RAR/7zip any files posted or emailed.

Please also provide simple instructions to allow us to use what is sent - and finally please remove all license info (serial numbers and developer license strings etc) if posting to the user forums - if they are included on a forum post this will mean we will have to block them form further use to avoid them leaking into unlicensed hands.

If you prefer you can email to support@pdf-xchange.com with a link back this forum post for reference.

Thanks
