Looking for a way to globally remove all raster images from a PDF

[Document Geek]

I am working with a set of contruction drawings, printed to PDF from AutoDesk Inventor. For some reason, some of the rendered images contain white stripes. These white stripes are isloaed to the raster images, and are not tied to the vector parts of the PDF.

I amlooking for a way to globally delete all the raster images within a PDF. I can delete each of the squres independently, but I'd rather not have to do that thousands of times. Any ideas?

In the Autodesk support forums a user suggested to increase the dpi for another user who had  a similar issue .

See here: Problem: PDF print generates strange lines over hatch objects (ACAD 2012 LT) 

In the same discussion, scroll down and see the response by Geekgirl, "disable Optimize Web View" in your Acrobat.

There are more people in that discussion who also resolved this issue with different approaches.

Can't you save-as a PDF, or export to a PDF from AutoDesk? If not, you could try to run 2 Preflight fixups in Acrobat, one to move all images to a new layer, and one to delete that layer, (or hide the unwanted layers using the layer properties and optimize the PDF to remove the hidden layers).

Hi Luke,

Thank you so nuch! I've never really delved into Preflight fixups In Acrobat, so I didn't know about that option. THANK YOU!
