I want to remove all the text boxes in my PDF but after searching a while, I didn't find any solution. I assume a script is necessary here. I know Python programming, so I assume javascript is just a syntax issue. Could someone provide some ideas about how the script should look like? Thanks!

In the document it looks like this on the bottom of every page

You can use this code to do it:

for (var i=this.numFields-1; i>=0; i--) {
	var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
	if (f==null) continue;
	if (f.type=="text") this.removeField(f.name);
}

I got

SyntaxError: syntax error
1:Console:Exec
undefined

I checked a bit and this.numFields is 0. I think you probably understand the text boxes wrong. The ones I am having in my pdf are the same as the ones when you use the "Add text" tool.
