So one of my pdfs has a page number and a link at the bottom of every page. It's around 500 pages so I dont want to edit it manually. Is there any way I can delete those things all at once from all pages of the pdf?

Maybe ghost script or python script can do this?

I also notice there isn't a PDF community in Lemmy, maybe somebody should create one.

Thanks a lot in advance.

PDFGear might be able to handle this if your link is available in the page footer.

Open the file, click edit, header & footer then update and make your changes globally across all 500 pages.

thanks. May I also recommend Stirling-PDF
