So one of my pdfs has a page number and a link at the bottom of every page. It’s around 500 pages so I dont want to edit it manually. Is there any way I can delete those things all at once from all pages of the pdf?
Maybe ghost script or python script can do this?
I also notice there isn’t a PDF community in Lemmy, maybe somebody should create one.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Found this on stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68903835/how-to-draw-a-shape-inside-a-pdf-with-python
import fitz
Open the pdf
doc = fitz.open(‘./test.pdf’) for page in doc: # For every page, draw a rectangle on coordinates (1,1)(100,100) page.draw_rect([1,1,100,100], color = (0, 1, 0), width = 2)
Save pdf
doc.save(‘./your-route/name.pdf’)
Seems like it has a solid chance of working.
does it simply place an image of that size on top of every page at the desired position or does it redact the element underneath it as well?
