What I want is to edit PDF file, and remove digital signature form field. I would like to do that without buying Adobre Pro liscence. I remember some time ago I opened PDF file in text editor and saw some scripting language, so I am wondering if I can edit PDF file directly in text editor, remove the proper lines from PDF, save and that's it! My question: - Is that possible? - Are there any document checksums, or some existing number of objects per page in PDF file? - If yes, so what should I look for, and what should I change?
