What PowerShell command can edit the text inside a PDF document and replace a text string with another text string?

Question

Hi there
What PowerShell command can edit the text inside a PDF document (hosted on SharePoint Online document library) to replace a text string with another text string?

Thanks.

Answer 1

PowerShell alone cannot edit PDF files. Your best bet would be a 3rd-party library. A product that has a "community " (i.e., "open-source") license is iText: itextpdf.com. It has a .Net version of its code that PowerShell can easily use.

Answer 3

Hello Frob,

By default there is no Powershell command of script oriented to editing PDF files, however you can use Power Automate (such as power-automate-replace library) or 3rd Party tools like iText.

For PowerAutomate information you can post directly in the PowerAutomate community at:
