Question

Remove fields

I have a few hundred PDFs that had some invalid fields generated. For example a date is appearing on the PDF that shouldn't be there. If it was just a couple documents, I would go into Edit PDF, find the field and delete it. The position of the field is constant for all PDF pages. Is there a way via Action Wizard or Java to delete certain fields in a PDF?

To find out more: you must use the Thom Parker script in an Action to process hundreds of files automatically.

Is the unwanted field name always the same, or contain a common denominator?

Run this code in the console window

this.removeField("FieldName")

Where "FieldName" is the name of the field you want to remove.
