Sample code to use Apryse SDK for searching and replacing text strings and images inside existing PDF files (e.g. business cards and other PDF templates). Unlike PDF forms, the ContentReplacer works on actual PDF content and is not limited to static rectangular annotation regions. Samples provided in Python, C++, C#, Java, Node.js (JavaScript), PHP, Ruby, Go and VB. Learn more about our Server SDK and PDF Editing & Manipulation Library.
It's mandatory to use square brackets for target strings in the original PDF doc when using ContentReplacer methods like AddString(). Otherwise, the content replacer won't recognize it as a template to replace.
For example, in the PDF document, you add a template for recognition: [NAME]. In the code, you tie the tag specified within the square brackets to what you want it to be replaced with: replacer.AddString("NAME", "John Smith") . After processing, both the square brackets and the tag will be replaced with "John Smith".
