eraser- when it works?

Post by jürgen somorjai »

Hi, I scanned a page and wanted to remove some black (grey) stripes. But the eraser doesn't work! Why?

Hello,

Thank you for your post. The Eraser tool only works for drawn pencil annotations. I am afraid it is not yet possible to edit the base image of a scanned PDF directly in the Editor, but from build 322 you can now right click an image and from the context menu select to Edit it in an external image manipulation program. Once you are done with the manipulations, you save it - and the image is updated in the PDF file as well - please do give it a try!

You may use the redaction tool to remove content: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowled ... -Redaction

I hope this helps!

Hello,
Thanks for your information about the ERASER. It only works "together" with the pencil. Well, ok.
But I didn't understand your example with a picture?? I'm sorry but I can't find the redaction tool??
I tried the way you told, -> I did the right click, but you can see the result. That's not the redaction tool, isn't it?
Where is my mistake?
It would be nice to get an advice from you.

Thank you.

Hello,
Once more. :)
I thought I've to try it once more. - and ... it really works!
But before I can change or complete in the picture I have to click on "Change content" or "Document" and then "censorship". After that the picture changed in my PDF-file.
It's a wonderful possibility. Thank you for this information!
