Hi Andreas,
Thanks for your help, but I am not sure where to find this 'Do' line in
pagedrawer.properties. I see that there is a package in the pdfbox jar
file that is called org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.pagedrawer, but I'm
not sure where the 'do' line is. I'm guessing its somewhere within the
invoke.class file but I am unable to find it.
You have to look here:
org/apache/pdfbox/resources/PageDrawer.properties
Also after disabling this, what operators would I need run on the pdf file?
Just comment that operator and all images should disappear when using PDFBox
Thanks for your assistance.
Regards,
Nicholas Tiong

Hi,
I'm new here and I've just discovered PDFBox. My experience with coding
is
fairly basic.
Based on a sample code I found here,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6831194/how-can-i-remove-all-images-dr
awi
ngs-from-a-pdf-file-and-leave-text-only-in-java
That code removes only those images which are directly referenced within
the
resources of a page/document. But those which are part of an other
XObject won't
be removed.
It seems that it should work for my purpose; that is to remove all
images
from a PDF whilst preserving formatting. Basically I plan to print a
large
document in black and white on a laser printer without pictures, and
then
run it through a colour inkjet for the pictures.
Could anyone help me figure out why the code in the link above does not
work? It creates the 'stripped' file and throws no exceptions but all
the
images are still within.
I've found another PDFBox code that extract images and saves it to file
which works for all individual pictures in the document, so I am
certain the
PDF is formatted correctly with pictures embedded within it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I guess it's easier to deactivate the "draw image" operator. Commenting
the "Do"
line in PageDrawer.properties should do the trick.

Nicholas Tiong
