Copy PDF without a certain input

I need to copy PDF files and exclude the signature in the file, so there would be an option of editing the file after it has been copied.

Any ideas of how to accomplish this in a simple way?

thank you!

    Hi @IWantToKnow ,

     

    a. Use a Free PDF Editor: Download and install a free PDF editor like Foxit Reader or PDFsam Basic.

    b. Use PAD's "Run Application" Action: In your PAD flow, use the "Run Application" action to launch your chosen PDF editor.

    c. Open the Original PDF (Manual): Within the opened PDF editor, navigate to and open the original PDF file containing the signature.

    d. Remove Signature Manually: Use the editor's tools to remove the signature. This process might vary depending on the editor. Typically, it involves selecting the signature area and deleting it.

    e. Save the Edited PDF: Save the edited PDF with a new name (optional) to differentiate it from the original.

     

    (Note:- if you got your solution you can mark as solution and gives kudos)

     

    Thanks & Regards
