edit pdf

[Marchinio80]

hello , I would like to change the prices of this pdf and multiply by two, I would not do it individually , what can I do ?

Are these prices located in form fields, or are they static content on the page? If the latter there's no simple way of doing it.

You'll need to either manually edit each price using the Edit Text & Images tool, or create a custom-made script to identify them and overlay a field with the new price on top of them.

This kind of editing should really not be done in the PDF format. You need to go back to the original file used to create the PDF, edit it, and then generate a new PDF.

unfortunately I don't have the original file. these prices are located in form fields.

Can i create a custom-made script to identify them and overlay a field with the new price on top of them?

thanks

If they are form fields then it's quite easy to change, actually.

Here's an example of a script to change the value of a single field:

this.getField("Price1").value = Number(this.getField("Price1").value)*2;

OK , but how do I create and use the script ?

What are the names of the fields involved?

You can run the code via the JS Console (Ctrl+J).

the field involved is price

It seems to be more than one field... I think you might not know what form fields are.

Can you share the file in question (via Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.)?
