Removing Image object

We work with a lot of scanned documents, which have an image in the background that we are able to remove through the edit function. But the problem is it can only be done page-wise page and not all pages together. Is there a way we can remove backgrounds from all the pdf pages at once? 

This way we save a lot of time.

u can use Adobe Acrobat Preflight Option

Preflight - Options - New Fixup - Pages - Remove Objects - Color Images

To elaborate on Mariom's excellent suggestion, you can also use an Acrobat preflight to move all images to a separate layer, then delete that layer.

Tools> Print production> Preflight> Fixups. Note that preflights can be edited and saved, but you must first make a copy of the preflight using the small fly out options menu.

When you say image in the backgraound are you referring to a watermark on every page or more than one backgroun dimage on every page?

Thank you for your revert. The background is more like a standard layer on all the pages. I have attached a sample of the pdf in my original query.

 

You will see that the first 4 pages have a white background that's because I have removed it. The next four pages have a background image that I want to remove in bulk i.e. from all pages together.
