After_Replace_Text.png (121.8 KB)
Before_Replace_Text.png (83.4 KB)

2 screenshots are attached, one is before replace and other after replace.

There are 2 issues highlighted in screenshots,

  1. Length of the hyperlink line (i.e blue line) after replacing text is same as before, it is not updating. (In the screen shot i have replaced “ICC” with “ICC replaced”)
  2. If there are multiple hyperlinks in a line, all the hyperlinks formats are gone even if the one hyperlink text is replaced.

Below is the code that i’m using to replace Text,

PdfContentEditor pdfContentEditor = new PdfContentEditor();
pdfContentEditor.BindPdf(Pdfdocument);

        pdfContentEditor.TextReplaceOptions.ReplaceAdjustmentAction = TextReplaceOptions.ReplaceAdjustment.WholeWordsHyphenation;
        pdfContentEditor.TextEditOptions.ToAttemptGetUnderlineFromSource = true;

        // Replace text on all pages
        pdfContentEditor.ReplaceText(sentence, pageNo, newText);

Please do the needful and it is quite urgent.
Please let me know if you need any other details.
Thank you

Hi Imran,

I have one more issue, text is overlapping with next word or link when the replace text is performed. I have attached the screenshot taken after replacing text.

I’m using the same pdf as above and code is also same.

@lakshmips,

We have tested your scenario with the latest version 18.4 of Aspose.PDF for .NET API, and could not replicate the problem of overlapping text in our environment. However, we can find the problem of displaced underline of the text. It has been logged under the ticket ID PDFNET-44505 in our bug tracking system. We have linked your post to this ticket and will keep you informed regarding any available updates. This is the output PDF: Output18.4.pdf (587.6 KB)

I’m using the following code.

// Create TextAbsorber object to find all instances of the input search phrase
TextFragmentAbsorber textFragmentAbsorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber(@"(?i)" + Regex.Escape(sentence), new TextSearchOptions(true));

            // Accept the absorber for all the pages
            Pdfdocument.Pages[pageNo].Accept(textFragmentAbsorber);

            // Get the extracted text fragments
            TextFragmentCollection textFragmentCollection = textFragmentAbsorber.TextFragments;

            // Loop through the fragments
            foreach (TextFragment textFragment in textFragmentCollection)
            {
                foreach (TextSegment textSegment in textFragment.Segments)
                {
                    if (textSegment.Text.ToLower() == originalText.ToLower())
                    {
                        textSegment.Text = newText;
                    }
                }
            }

            if (textFragmentCollection.Count > 0)
            {
                Pdfdocument.ProcessParagraphs();
                Pdfdocument.Save(FileName);
            }
