How to print Acrobat PDF file without the images
Solution 1:
If you are in Mac, you can use Preview (for free!) to draw a white box on the images you don't want to be printed, so the rest of the layout stays the same. Remember to make sure that the box is filled in with white color and the lines around it are invisible (or also in white).
Steps:
- Open your PDF file in Preview.
- Make sure the "Markup Toolbar" is shown. You can show/hide this toolbar by pressing Command+Shift+A.
- Using the fourth item from left in the Markup Toolbar, you can draw rectangles or circles as you need.
- The second and third item from right in the Markup Toolbar can be used to choose the color of the filling and border, respectively.
If you want to print only part of your PDF, you can choose to show thumbnails from View menu, and select the pages that you want to print.
Solution 2:
If you have a copy of Acrobat Professional, it normally comes with the "Adobe LiveCycle Designer" software. Here you can import your PDF into an "Interactive Form with Flowable Layout". It will try to break apart your PDF into the base components and allow you to rip out the pictures while still keeping the general format.
From what I can tell, editing PDF's takes a paid app. Though I wonder if you can use the trial software on the Adobe website to get a single print off. I'm not quite sure what the limitations of that software is, but it might be worth a try.
Good luck
Solution 3:
You could use the free online converter at http://www.freepdftoword.org/ and choose the Remove Images option at Step 2.
This does not "print" the document but gets you a version of it in Word that preserves the layout but removes the images.
