Hi,

Thanks for your inquiry.
I'm sorry to tell you that there is no method to delete the text in Spire.PDF. But there is a workaround, you can draw a white rectangle over the text. Please refer to below code.

Code: Select all

            PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
            pdf.LoadFromFile(input);
            PdfPageBase page = pdf.Pages[0];
            PdfBrush brush = new PdfSolidBrush(Color.White);
            PdfTextFind[] results = page.FindAllText().Finds;
            foreach (PdfTextFind result in results)
            {
                RectangleF rec = result.Bounds;
                page.Canvas.DrawRectangle(brush,rec);
            }
            pdf.SaveToFile(output);

Kindly note that the location of the text is not very accurate at present, and I logged this issue in our bug tracking system. Once there is any update, I will let you know.
