Does anyone know of a free Perl program (command line preferable), module, or anyway to search and replace text in a PDF file without using it like an editor.

Basically I want to write a program (in Perl preferably) to automate replacing certain words (e.g. our old address) in a few hundred PDF files. I could use any program that supports command line arguments. I know there are many modules on CPAN that manipulate or create pdfs but they don’t have (that I’ve seen) any sort of simple search and replace.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice!!!

  1. Take a look at CAM::PDF. More specifically the changeString method.
