Replace Text On Page

Text replacement is a common requirement when updating PDF documents. Using PdfContentEditor, you can search for specific text and replace it with new content. The ‘replace_text_strategy’ property allows you to control how many occurrences are replaced.

1. Create a PdfContentEditor instance.
2. Bind the input PDF document.
3. Configure text replacement strategy.
4. Replace the target text.
5. Save the updated PDF document.

import aspose.pdf as ap
import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades
import sys
from os import path

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

from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


def replace_text_on_page(infile, outfile):
    # Create PdfContentEditor object
    content_editor = pdf_facades.PdfContentEditor()
    # Bind document to PdfContentEditor
    content_editor.bind_pdf(infile)
    # Replace text on page 1
    content_editor.replace_text_strategy.replace_scope = (
        pdf_facades.ReplaceTextStrategy.Scope.REPLACE_FIRST
    )
    content_editor.replace_text("PDF", "Page 1 Replaced Text", 14)
    # Save updated document
    content_editor.save(outfile)
