Delete Stamps Globally

When working with multiple pages, you may need to remove certain stamps throughout the entire document. The ‘delete_stamp_by_id()’ and ‘delete_stamp_by_ids()’ methods allow you to delete stamps globally by their identifiers, eliminating the need to iterate through each page manually.

1. Create a PdfContentEditor instance.
2. Bind the input PDF document.
3. Add rubber stamps to multiple pages.
4. Delete stamps globally using their IDs.
5. Save the updated PDF document.

import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades
import aspose.pydrawing as apd
from io import BytesIO
import sys
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))

from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


def delete_stamps_globally(infile, outfile):
    # Create PdfContentEditor object
    content_editor = pdf_facades.PdfContentEditor()
    # Bind document to PdfContentEditor
    content_editor.bind_pdf(infile)

    # Add stamps across multiple pages so global deletion is meaningful
    for page in range(1, 5):
        content_editor.create_rubber_stamp(
            page,
            apd.Rectangle(120, 500, 180, 60),
            "Draft",
            "Stamp for global deletion",
            apd.Color.gray,
        )

    # delete_stamp_by_id without page number removes stamp ID from all pages
    content_editor.delete_stamp_by_id(1)
    # delete_stamp_by_ids without page number removes a list of IDs from all pages
    content_editor.delete_stamp_by_ids([2, 3])

    # Save updated document
    content_editor.save(outfile)
