P.S. I have affinity pulisher, designer, photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Unless the background images are just that - a background I’m afraid it’s going to be a manual job of going through each page and deleting the image that makes the background. It might also be easier with a dedicated PDF editor. Also, these PDF’s tend to use multiple images so one page will probably have a different image than the last, there maybe around 4 or 5 different images being used as a background image.

I tried acrobat, it can't do this job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl123 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 One way... (untested) Open in Publisher Go into Resource Manager Click on the Embedded file then Click Replace Replace it with another file the same size of your document E.g. a pure white background jpg or a transparent png (maybe) chen2020 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

I would be nice if "Locate in Document" - and then delete - would work here across multiple pages.

firstdefence Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Resource Manager is less work, but still long-winded but I doubt there is a simpler method. I have some of the forgotten realms literature and the list of resources can be quite long. in the Resource Manager. In Forgotten Realms - City Of Splendors - Waterdeep there are 15 old page backgrounds. Being able to just turn off the layers from Resource manager would be a nice addition, so that you retain the original images.
