Question

Remove browser header and footer in PDF documents

Hello everyone,

 

we have PDF documents that received the following headers and footers when created by the browser:

 

1. Top left: Firefox

2. Top right: Internet address

3. Bottom left page number

4. Bottom right: date with time

 

Unfortunately, this content has not been set as a header and footer, so one cannot simply remove the content by removing the header and footer. The content is on the outer edge.

 

Now our question:

 

How can we find and remove this content? Is it possible to search and remove the content based on the position in the document? Is it possible to create a macro using the action wizard so that this content can be automatically removed from hundreds of PDF files?

 

Many thanks for your help!

It is not possible with Acrobat Reader. In Acrobat Pro you can try the redaction tool.

Open the Tools panel and search for "redact".
