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.

I tend towards: No. I can't know for sure, but given how pdfs are structured this sounds very difficult.

A workaround might be to automatically place white boxes over those, but you can probably still select the text underneath afterwards.
