Select and delete image in PDF

Post by kumar »

How can I select and delete an image in PDF?

For example, in an image editor app I can draw a selection box around an image and press delete button to delete the content inside the selection box. How can I do something similar in a PDF where I can draw a box around content in PDF and delete the content inside the selection box?

Thanks.

Perhaps "Redact" does what you are trying to achieve. I access that functionality through these

Yup thanks, redact works and I could use it but I am still wondering if there is any other method.

In case you like to delete a part of a larger image, then you need to use the Redaction tool or an image editor.

In case you like to delete an image completely, then it should be sufficient to select it and press the Delete-key.
