Hi Vinny, thank you very much for your detailed answer, but I think this is not an option for us. The thing is: we extract these PDF files from our ERP system, so that we can easily update the pricelist when needed... It's to time consuming to recreate the tables in InDesign. I think my best option is to extract PDF files without prices from our ERP, en then make a second InDesign file with the PDF's without prices embedded. It's a pitty, I would be a lot more easier if I could simply crop the frame... . Possible solution: (?) When I run my generated PDF from indesign through a freeware PDF compressor, It makes images of my tables (so non-selectable text) and then the "invisible" text dissappeared too. But, the freeware program ruins my quality and even makes the file size bigger. Is there such an option in indesign to create images of the embedded tables? Of do you know a good PDF convertor/compressor to "image" the tables in my created PDF? Br, Ralf

In our pricelist we use placed/embedded PDF documents. For non excisting customers we want to make a version without prices. For that I crop the frame of the embedded document, so the last columns dissappear. But, after exporting the design to a .PDF file, the cropped text is still (invisible) in the document. When selecting, the text seems to appear and can be pasted in word to read it. I tried all kinds of tricks and export options. various layers, placing blocks or images over the frame, but text keeps excisting below it and selectable. It's really annoying me, I hope someone has a solutions for this issue. See screenshot: https://www.eurocold.nl/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/indesign-prijsloosissue.png (high res version)
