Wie kann man in einem pdf.-Dokument Text per Mausklick wegstreichen? Es geht um ein Formular, in dem zum einen Textfelder ausgefüllt werden und zum anderen fester Text gegebenenfalls per Mausklick gestrichen werden soll. Danke für die Hilfe.

Thanks, I want to cross out fixed text.

Text is on formualar (not in formular field)

Click on text

Text is crossed out.

I didn't find a way so far. If this involves putting this text in some formular fields to work with it - ok...

 

@creative explorer: I asked the second question only. The formular also includes text fields to be filled but thats no part of the discussion.

Question #1 (cross out fixed text): Highlight the text, a pop-up box will open and you can 'strike-thru' the text

Thank you but no. Like I wrote - one left click on text -> Text crossed out.

@roy_6631 First of all you are asking two questions:

  • Deleting text from form fields (user-filled text): This is generally straightforward.

  • Deleting fixed text (original document text): This requires using the PDF editing tools

The question is, and making sure, do you have Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro

Hi there 

 

++ Adding to the discussion 

 

If the PDF file is not signed or locked/password protected and you are the owner of the PDF form with editing rights, you can follow the steps below and see if that works:

  1. Open the PDF form in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
  2. Go to the All Tools menu and select Prepare PDF form (this will bring the form into editing mode)
  3. You can delete the text from the form as required.
