How can I delete text from a PDF?

Deleting and replacing pages

You can delete pages from an Adobe PDF document with the Delete command or by deleting the page's page thumbnail or tagged bookmarks. You can minimize the size of the document file by using the Reduce File Size command to save the restructured document under a new name.

Important: You cannot undo the Delete command.

You can replace an entire PDF page with another PDF page. When you replace a page, only the text and images on the original page are replaced. Any interactive elements associated with the original page, such as links and bookmarks, are not affected. Likewise, bookmarks and links that may have been previously associated with the replacement page do not carry over. Comments, on the other hand, are carried along with the replacement page and are combined with any existing comments in the document.

A page before and after it is replaced. The page's bookmarks and links remain in the same locations.

To delete one or more pages using the Delete command:

1.

Choose Document > Delete Pages.

2.

Enter the page range to be deleted, and click OK.

You cannot delete all pages; at least one page must remain in the document. If you select Use Logical Page Numbers in the Page Display panel of the Preferences dialog box, you can enter a page number in parentheses to delete the logical equivalent of the page number. For example, if the first page in the document is numbered i, you can enter (1) in the Delete Pages dialog box, and the page is deleted.
