There are some logos on each page of a PDF that I want to hide. How to do it?
Ideally, re-create it without those logos. But if that’s not possible, open the pdf in Illustrator and you may be able to delete the logo (unless the original author set the pdf not to be editable that way). Still, you may be able to modify it in illustrator to hide the logo with another object.
What ralph.m said but also if you have a PDF Editor (I know Acrobat very well but not about others so I can’t give you names) you may be able to do it.
In Acrobat there is an object selection tool that allows you to select the objects themselves, and not the text (which is the other selection tool). Click on the image and click the delete key.
I have to say that depending on the position of the logo you may cause a bit of a disaster.
Thanks!
What is illustrator?
Illustrator is a Adobe’s vector graphic creator software. You may think that it is only to create graphics but any vector graphic software can create one-to-three pages fliers and brochures like photoshop can. Adobe’s Acrobat integrates very well with Illustrator because all the text and all the graphics (that are not pictures) are transformed into vectors (well, characters are vectors anyway) and therefore when you want a friendlier interface to change the whole page, you can send that pdf page to Illustrator.
If you want something free, try Ink. It is also a vector graphic software but I would say it would work. Although I never tried it. I have used Illustrator but that’s because I have the CS3 package.
Thanks for helping out but the problem is that the documents consists 1500 pages almost and the logo that I want to remove is on every page. I tried to do it with the help of editor but it will definitely take too long and is impossible for me. Is there any software like in MS word where we can just remove the footer within seconds?
Do you don’t have access to the original?
If the logo has been added within Acrobat as a header/footer than you can remove it in the same way (with Adobe Acrobat Standard, I don’t know if other software has that functionality). If it’s been included as part of the original source document then it exists as an entity in its own right on each and every page, and the only way to get rid of it is to remove it individually from each and every page.
It would be much easier if you had the original source document!
Thanks! What do you mean by adobe acrobat standard?
Acrobat comes in various flavours. Standard is just regular Acrobat. Professional allows the ability of creating forms. Professional Extended has additional features for 3D and video and a cool plug in for PowerPoint to transform the animations and interactive presentations into a pdf presentation smoother transitions (yes, PDFs can have interactive content).
As a matter of fact, Acrobat allows Javascript programming in their PDFs. So if you have Acrobat you could simply create a script that deletes the logo from every single page. Cool, isn’t it? smile of satisfaction
That would be ideal. It would be so much easier!
Thanks. But fact is that I don’t understand what you mean to say. It seems to be something advanced. I’ve downloaded adobe acrobat pro extended and hope it would solve my problem. I’ll definitely deploy a post when I’m stuck with something.
Yea, there is a smile of satisfaction.
Sorry if I didn’t explain myself properly.
Acrobat Standard allows you to create PDF files by installing a PDF virtual printer… but the Acrobat program also allows you to change those PDF (unless they’re protected).
Acrobat Professional can create PDF files, and edit them, as the Standard version. In addition to what the Standard version does, it can create PDF forms, something that the standard version can’t do.
Let’s say that you had a document where your customer writes what he wants to write from you and fax it/e-mails it to you to do his order. Instead of printing the form, writing it, fax it or scan it, you can use a PDF form where he will fill everything (maybe you can add some programming to help) and hit a button and the order will be e-mailed to you (or added to a db). For him it would be a PDF document… for you an automation process… but of course, you need to create the PDF Form. This version allows you to do this.
The result is much better than creating a word table and then create the PDF.
Acrobat Professional Extended can create PDFs files, edit them, can create forms. In addition to that, it has some tools for manipulating videos and 3D objects (created with 3D max, as an example) which are not included in previous versions. Of course, its cost is also higher 
I ran this file with acrobat extended. I found a box that is on every page and it contains the logo. I can delete that box but I’m having to do it separately on each page. Is it possible to delete that box from all the pages using extended?
Use Javascript.
Any tips?
I don’t remember the DOM right now and I can’t help you with this. I know I can’t be done but it’s been ages since I programmed for PDFs and I don’t have the time to look it up. I’m sorry
