hi,
Is there a replace text function in QuickPDF (with Dll and Dylib version). Change a short word or a tag. Cheers Jim.

Hi Jim!
There isn't a replace text function. Changing the free text content isn't easy stuff for such a light weight library. Tag data (like meta data) you can change easily. Please have a look in the online reference... Cheers, Ingo |

Jim, QPL has hundreds of functions and even ones I have need seen before. There is a QP.ReplaceTag function that searches for text within the content stream an replaces the text with a new value. This may or may not work as expected based on the complexity of the document including fonts and the uniqueness of the tag. Text will not be rewrapped and spacing of other text elements may or may not be affected. QP.LoadFromFile("99pages.pdf", ""); QP.ReplaceText("Page 19", "Page 99") // This shouldn't cause too many problems. QP.SaveToFile("out.pdf"); Andrew

your sample code is wrong, there is no such a ReplaceText function, you mean ReplaceTag?

Inside the post of AndrewC (R.I.P.) he has written ReplaceTag and that's the correct function:
https://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/ReplaceTag.php First you have to do a SelectPage for positioning because without this only the current page will be examined: https://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SelectPage.php Please keep in mind that this functionality doesn't work on all pdf-documents. It won't work for example on documents with LZW-compression. If your documents are encrypted then the text you're looking for is encrypted, too. In this case you have to decrypt the document first before you can use ReplaceTag: If QP.EncriptionStatus > 0 Then QP.Decrypt; It should be clear that after ReplaceTag you've to do a save and new load to see the differences. Cheers and welcome here, Ingo |
