How to remove spot color from PDF in Adobe Acrobat

Question

Hello,

I have print company and many people send me file (PDF) with spot color for cut contur.

They don't use wright pantone for my cutter, so I want to remove or recolor pantone in Adobe Acrobat.

If I open file in Illustrator there isn't font in outlines or they forgot to embeed pictures.

So I want to solve my problem in Adobe Acrobat - is it possible to remove spot color and how can I do this?

File like this in attachment.

Thank you for answer!

Here is some information about how to convert spot colors to process colros: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/color-conversion-ink-management-acrobat.html

If you want to remove objects that use a certain spot color, you would need to use the preflight tools in Acrobat. I wrote up a tutorial a while ago about the general process: https://khkonsulting.com/2017/03/remove-content-from-pdf-files-using-acrobats-preflight/
