how to remove all images from pdf?
For epubs I can just unzip it and go to OEBPS\Images and select some or all of the images I want gone. easy-peasy.
But I can't for the pdfs. I tried to do the pdf to pdf conversion using calibre, go to pdf input, check no images and started the conversion. But the output was all messy, from the overall layout to wrong linebreak, to all fonts lost etc. So how should I configure my conversion settings, so that pdf retains its originality, but just without images? |

There is no real true easy automagic way to do it. You would have to physically edit the PDF or convert it to another format to take out all the images. If it's a text-based PDF, you can just convert it to a document file then remove all the images from there. If it's an image-based PDF, you would have to run OCR, then convert the OCR'd PDF to a document. So there are a few different ways, but they're all time consuming and not super simple.

Print, cut up, stick together and then scan.
PDFs are not meant to be edited. You can do this electronically with The GIMP. |
