Ask HN: What most suitable text editor to edit uncompressed Pdf
What'd be the most suitable or best-workable text editor to edit uncompressed PDF
Point is, of course, at least it'd nicely handle any character code (0,ff, fff hex or etc)
Thanks before
- anenefan 3y agoI can't actually name anything current, but I do have some insight from my days of editing uncompressed pdfs (in a old windows environment since a lot of other tools were for windows - and not that I can read pdf format any more) which was more than 5 years ago, about the last was a singular pdf back in 2015. Depending on size of the pdf, you will want memory efficient software or those that have a trick to handle large files, especially doing large sections of find and replace - which depending on what you want to do, that might be the real test. I know I tried what I could and ended with about four different editors depending on what action I was undertaking. I no longer recall what hex editor I used for simple find and replace and can't recall the singular one that actually worked with half page find and replace text - it may have been ultraedit.
