Hello,
I am trying to remove text from an existing PDF, whilst maintaining the positioning of the surrounding text. Because of this, simply setting textFragment.Text = "" is not a viable solution. I have tried a couple of things: replacing the text with a set number of spaces gave varying degrees of success - depending on exactly what text was surrounding the fragment - and setting the text fragment colour to Color.Transparent, which instead sets the text colour to white.
The code I am currently using is as follows:
Is what I am trying to accomplish not actually possible, or is there something I am missing?Document document = new Document(path-to-file);TextFragmentAbsorber textFragmentAbsorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber(regularExpression);textFragmentAbsorber.TextSearchOptions = new TextSearchOptions(true);document.Pages.Accept(textFragmentAbsorber);foreach (TextFragment tf in textFragmentAbsorber.TextFragments) {tf.TextState.ForegroundColor = Color.Transparent;}document.Save(path-to-new-file);
Thank-you.
