✨ NAME ✨

changepagestring β€” search and replace across all the pages of your PDF, bestie πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

changepagestring [options] infile.pdf search-regex replace-str [outfile.pdf]

Options:
  -o --order          preserve the internal PDF ordering for output
  -v --verbose        print diagnostic messages
  -h --help           verbose help message
  -V --version        print CAM::PDF version

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

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 🫢

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 πŸ’…

Your regex has to be a form that Perl understands β€” so write it like Perl, queen, because that's who's reading it πŸ‘‘

⚠️ important heads-up: this does not change the PDF metadata, like forms and annotation. Nope. Not those. πŸ™ˆ

If metadata is what you're actually after, you want changepdfstring instead β€” different tool, different vibe, iykyk ✨
