Identify and delete text boxes with red text

[richardr56740801]

Hello,

A client has provided a several pdf documents, each over 300+ pages.

They marked up the document by adding text boxes to each page. We can identify what they added easily because their additions are in red font. We would like to identify any text boxes that have red font in order to delete them from the document, thereby leaving a document that does not include their additions.

I have been able to click on the text and delete it manually but that only allows us to do one at a time. I have checked the ActionWizard menu, the redaction functionality, the search function and the sanitize function but these do not appear to address this issue as needed. Is there any way to delete all instances of red (or any specific color) text?

I would also like to clarify that in some instances they included CIRCLES from the drawing tool menu, again these would be in red. We would also like to remove those from the document.

It is possible, using a script. But before doing that you should try using the built-in filter command of the Comments List.

It allows you to filter by author name, which should work in your case, I would think. Just filter based on the username of the client, and then delete all the comments from the list.
