Removing Background
Posted by Dave Bruce on November 27, 2007 at 8:14 pmIs it possible to remove the background of a PDF file?
I have managed to double click it in Signlab 7.1, select the path and delete it upon which Signlab crashes 🙁 I have Photoshop (hardly use)/Coral 12)
Anyhelp would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

If you post up the pdf – I’m sure somebody could do it.

yes, post it
photoshop has some plug-ins like Fluid Mask and KnockOut which can do a reasonable job, depending on the difficulties.
but I really would need to see it
thanks

Isnt knockout a Corel program?
And fluid mask is an additional plug in you have to buy
Photoshop uses the extract filter to create a mask round the object which is pretty good, just the standard quick mask tool is goo d enough for any task you will use in day to day usage. -
Untill the image is seen, hard to suggest the best method to erase the background.

Well if youre going to use photoshop, theres only 2 methods worth using unless its so simple you can use the magic eraser function.
either quick mask, from the tool menu or extract in filter options
But I agree lets see the image so we can see the best way to do it. -
If you own Acrobat Pro then you can use editing tools to remove offending items (unless the whole thing is a bitmap)

File now attached under graphic design help
