PDF Footer Remove

PDF format are obnoxiously hard to be modified. PDF software are not as flexible either. the best breed i'd come across is PDF Editor. that said, its search and replace function couldn't detect the wordings of a PDF's header and footer, which is pretty frustrating if you have to manually remove each page's. so i decided to write my own and found out that the text of the footer is actually a text element encapsulated in a form element, which a normal search could not find. crude as it is, PDF Footer Remove will remove most footer of the PDFs. pretty unuser-friendly, if i must say so myself, but it gets the job done. it will batch process all the *.pdf in the same directory as the executable and output footer-free *.pdf.pdf. if there are enough requests, i might refine the program. anyway, here it is. http://www.downloadtaxi.com/d/1136527589/PDF_Footer_Remove.zip
