Please by following steps to modify text contents in a PDF file directly,
1. We will use following sample PDF file for test purpose, we will try to replace the "This is ä the first umlaut." text line,
2. Run following command line to extract PDF page contents to some text files, one text file from one page, for example, if your PDF file has 10 pages, you will get 10 text files,
pdftr.exe -exportpagecontents test-umlaut.pdf _out-pages-%04d.txt
For the first page, the text filename is "_out-pages-0001.txt", please open this text file in notepad or UltraEdit-32 application, locate "This is ?the first umlaut." string,
3. Now, we will run TextEncoding.exe application (VeryPDF Text Encoding Converter) to convert some umlaut characters to Octal characters, e.g., the Octal encoding for "äÄöÖüÜß" characters are "\344\304\366\326\374\334\337",
4. Copy and paste "\344\304\366\326\374\334\337" into _out-pages-0001.txt file, replace original "This is ä the first umlaut." text line,
5. Run following command line to insert these text files into original PDF file,
pdftr.exe -importpagecontents -contentfile _out-pages-%04d.txt test-umlaut.pdf _test-umlaut.pdf
