             Summary: How to change and replace text in pdf
                 Key: PDFBOX-4989
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4989
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Wish
         Environment: windows 10
            Reporter: Jürgen Debus


Hi @all,

First: I'm not sure if this is the right forum. 

If not, can you please tell me where to ask the question.

 

We've used the text search and replace approach of Ulf Dittmer here:

[https://www.ulfdittmer.com/view?PdfboxReplace]

 This worked fine.

But because of changes in the PDF generating we get a crypted text that we can't replace:

 Example:

 Old: (sont liés. En cas de questions, consultez impérativement votre conseiller fiscal.) Tj

New: (6"<.%S\)J:+d";,MO/$:;L+,+%:"L.:/+"<.%S+;JJ+/"I;S<$J3) Tj

 When using PDFTextStripper to read the text it is „translated" in the right way.

 What can we do to „decrypt" the text and save a new one?

 

 Best regards,

 Jürgen
