Replacing Text Blocks and Images In Multiple PDFs

[dmcshehan94]

I have a lot of PDF files that I need to change some text and images, currently, I have to open each one and edit it manually. Is there a way that i can automate the process? I have to replace some text, add a logo to the header and replace an image. Please let me know if anyone is familiar with this process?  Thanks

You can add new images and text and redact old information. But you can't automate the "Replace Text" command that can be used manually via the Search window.

Can we replace an image automatically?

Depends. What do you mean by "automatically", exactly?

Is this always located in the same spot on the same page(s)?

I have 1000 PDFs , and there is a logo on top of each document, yes in the same place. I need to delete that logo and put mine.

If you have Acrobat Pro you can use an Action to redact the old logo and insert the new one, either as a watermark or by using a button field and then flattening it, etc.

I have Adobe Acrobat DC

Pro or Standard? Look under Help - About.

Acrobat Pro DC

In that case it can be done with an Action and a custom-made script, as it will have to be tailored to your specific needs.

If you're interested in hiring someone to write this script for you feel free to contact me privately (try6767 at gmail.com).

I have it and will let you know after discussing with my partner. Thanks for your time.

I have similar problem to tackle. Many PDF where email and web needs to be changed, including the hyperlink. Do you know how to go about it?

There's no easy way of doing it, as PDF files were not meant to be edited in such an extensive way.
