Unfortunately there is no a simple way to do that.
You can replace the text, it will be even shown in PdfViewer, but these changes can't be saved. So they would be lost after page disposing.

The following code illustrates how to search and replace text in whole document and then print.
Please note, you need to upgrade the Pdfium.Net SDK to the latest version.
http://forum.patagames.c...released-on-Nov-13--2016

Code:

private void ReplaceTextAndPrint(PdfDocument pdfDocument)
{
	PrintDialog dlg = new PrintDialog();
	PdfPrintDocument print = new PdfPrintDocument(pdfDocument);
	print.BeforeRenderPage += (s, e) =>
		{
			foreach(var obj in e.Page.PageObjects)
			{
				var textObj = obj as PdfTextObject;
				if (textObj == null)
					continue;
				textObj.TextUnicode = textObj.TextUnicode.Replace("AAAA", "BBBB");
			}
		};
	dlg.Document = print;
	dlg.AllowCurrentPage = true;
	dlg.AllowSomePages = true;
	dlg.UseEXDialog = true;
	if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
		print.Print();
}

As I told before there is no a simple way to save these chages. It can be printed or viewed in PdfViewer control only.

The code above illustrates the printing only, without viewing in Pdfviewer.
If you want to view these changes in PdfViewer you should write the following code.
This happens because the printing engine and PdfViewer uses distinct instances of the PdfPage.

Code:

public Form1()
{
	PdfCommon.Initialize();
	InitializeComponent();

	pdfViewer1.BeforeDocumentChanged += (s, e) => 
	{
		if(pdfViewer1.Document!= null)
			pdfViewer1.Document.Pages.PageLoaded -= Pages_PageLoaded;
	};
	pdfViewer1.AfterDocumentChanged += (s, e) => 
	{
		if (pdfViewer1.Document != null)
			pdfViewer1.Document.Pages.PageLoaded += Pages_PageLoaded;
	};
}

private void Pages_PageLoaded(object sender, Patagames.Pdf.Net.EventArguments.PdfPageEventArgs e)
{
	foreach (var obj in e.Page.PageObjects)
	{
		var textObj = obj as PdfTextObject;
		if (textObj == null)
			continue;
		textObj.TextUnicode = textObj.TextUnicode.Replace("AAAA", "BBBB");
	}
}


So if you want to view the changes and then print them, then you need to combine these two samples to achieve your goal.

Also, if you want to print document using PdfToolStripMain (PdfToolbarMain for WPF), then you need to create a derived class from it and override the OnPrintClick method (https://pdfium.patagames.com/help/html/3e322275-202a-3ac4-bb09-b6d40b06d739.htm) within which you should write the code from the first sample (The call of the ReplaceTextAndPrint method)

Hi,

I'm trying to use this method of changing the text in a PDF but as soon as the replace is done the size of the BoundingBox is changed. How can I prevent this?

Sorry to raise this from the dead, but I'm trying to modify text while printing. If I reference e.Page.PageObjects at all, I get empty pages. This is enough to cause it to happen (modification of post #4 above):

Quote:

print.BeforeRenderPage += (s, e) =>
{
foreach(var obj in e.Page.PageObjects)
{
}
};


Any help?

Hello,

It seems that the font does not contain the required glyphs. Try to create a new font.

i searched and found that u were reffering to "PdfFont.CreateFont" but still i have a similiar problem.
Here is my code:
Code:
printDoc1.BeforeRenderPage += (s, e) =>
{
    foreach (var obj in e.Page.PageObjects)
    {
        var textObj = obj as PdfTextObject;
        if (textObj == null)
            continue;
        textObj.TextUnicode = textObj.TextUnicode.Replace("Exemplo", "Teste");
        textObj.Font = PdfFont.CreateFont(mainDoc, "Calibri");
    }
};

This is the result.
