Using an external image editor makes the most sense for image-based PDFs. I’ve never written about the second option previously, so this seems like a good opportunity to do so! There are two ways you can clean up content in a PDF: Also, the file size seems to go way up after I edit the document with Paperport. I prefer to use Adobe Acrobat to OCR, and otherwise manage PDF documents, but if they need editing I am forced to use ScanSoft Paperport. However, it would be useful to have all the features in one program. If used with extreme zoom, I can remove just about any marks on the page so it looks like new. It is very useful to remove stray marks on scanned images, staple marks, fax headers, punched hole marks, etc.
I recently received this email from one of my blog readers:ĭoes Adobe Acrobat have a feature similar to the eraser in the old MS Paint program to edit pdf documents? The feature does exist in ScanSoft Paperport (I have version 11).
