So one of my pdfs has a page number and a link at the bottom of every page. It's around 500 pages so I dont want to edit it manually. Is there any way I can delete those things all at once from all pages of the pdf?

Maybe ghost script or python script can do this?

I also notice there isn't a PDF community in Lemmy, maybe somebody should create one.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Ask chatgpt for a python script to do exactly that task. Maybe you get what you want, maybe not.

Helped me out quite a few times with niche tasks like this.

Look at how to do it with python, you'll learn interesting stuff, get a working result, and not destroy your brain using a chat simulator as a programming help.

I don't get why people are fine with comments that are as absurd as saying "to hang a painting, first stab a screwdriver in the wall then attach the painting to it, sometimes it's not too bad"

How is asking chatgpt to do it any different as to using a different pre made tool? Both do not require programming.

How is using a spoon different as to using a military tank? They're both tools after all.
