π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so picture this: you got a PDF, it's giving slay, but some string in it is giving absolutely nothing and you need it gone. That's literally what this is for π«Ά
It digs through every single page of a PDF file, hunting for instances of search-regex, and then it inserts replace-str in their place. Every page. All of them. No page left behind, periodt π
Your regex has to be a form that Perl understands β so write it like Perl, queen, because that's who's reading it π
β οΈ important heads-up: this does not change the PDF metadata, like forms and annotation. Nope. Not those. π
If metadata is what you're actually after, you want changepdfstring instead β different tool, different vibe, iykyk β¨
