Deleting Text added with DrawRotatedText

Post by rclendenon » Tue Apr 10, 2012 3:45 pm

I am trying to use the 'DrawRotatedText' feature of the GDPicuterPDF plugin to add a date stamp to pdfs. I am able to successfully add the stamp. However, over time, we can end up date stamping the same pdf multiple times. Since the date stamp goes in the same location each time, this can result in an unreadable mess.

1. Is there a way to remove text added previously with the 'DrawRotatedText' feature?
2. If not, is there a better option for doing this (note: text needs to be rotated so it is vertical)

Thanks in advance for your help,
Russell

Hello Russel,

You can not remove text portion from a PDF. Anyway a better approach is to use annotations to stamp PDF documents. You should really consider them.
With annotation you should be able to add/edit/remove content without altering the existing document content.

Kind regards,

Loïc

Loic,

Thanks for the response. I have just purchased GdPicture.Net and I am still trying to figure out all it can do. I will try out the annotations option.

Thanks again,
Russell
