This purchased PDF (that I didn't create) repeats the text, underlined in green, under each diagram. Undeniably, deleting each instance one by one is too inefficient! How can I delete this text productively, synchronously, at one fell swoop?
No offense intended.
My reply didn't came out right.
Assuming that this type of PDF is not restricted from editing, identify if the annoying link is actually just text or a hyperlink.
You can check that by hovering the mouse pointer over that link.
If it is just an image or text, the mouse pointer will only remainas the "Selection Tool" icon (black pointing arrow), or the "Pan around the document" tool ( a little white hand icon).
If it is a hyperlink embedded in this PDF, the mouse pointer will change to the icon of a a hand with a pointing index finger and below thebindex finger a little square with the letter "W" inside the square. You will also see a yellow tooltip banner that will pop up with the full weblink address.
To remove all of these unnecessary and distracting weblinks (as you've described), simply right-click on any area of the current page, and select from the context menu "Edit Text & Images", or go to "Find Tools" ( in the Task Pane) and choose the "Edit PDF" tool.
You will notice that the Edit PDF toolbar will appear under the maintool bar.
On that toolbar, click on "Link" --->>> then select from the context menu "Remove Weblinks".
This will give an option to remove all weblinks " at one swell swoop".
If the whole line that you highlighted in green (shown in your screenshot ) is partially text or not a weblink at all, you use the same method but instead choose from the toolbar "Edit".
All text will be shown inside of a dotted line textbox.
To remove, you must right-click on each textbox, and select "Delete" from the context menu.
This must be done manually one by one, I'm afraid.
