How to replace text in PDF file with Embedded Subset Fonts?

Hello,

Attached you can find the example. I wrote the document with word 2013 and printed it with pdfcreator. I know that there are many pdf printers available, but we need to use pdfcreator for several reasons. Switching to another pdf printer is only the last option.

The command i used is,

pdftr.exe -contentreplace "text=>test" test.pdf _textreplace_test.pdf

For some reason overlay works, but "-contentreplace" fails. Overlay is a good option, but "-contentreplace" would be better on many situations.

I hope you can help, so we can use your text replace tool for our needs.

Thanks
Customer
