import aspose.pdf as ap

# Load the PDF document
document = ap.Document("out1.pdf")
print(new_page1_text11)
# Instantiate a TextFragmentAbsorber object
txtAbsorber = ap.text.TextFragmentAbsorber("Name of the medicinal product")

# Search text
document.pages.accept(txtAbsorber)

# Get reference to the found text fragments
textFragmentCollection = txtAbsorber.text_fragments

# Parse all the searched text fragments and replace text
for txtFragment in textFragmentCollection:
    txtFragment.text = ""

# Save the updated PDF
document.save("output.pdf")
