Find and remove the text

[MallRoy]

I am using page.get_text("words", sort=True) to return the text contents in the page. I want to remove some of the text on a page that matches the specific coordinates returned from the above snippet

[JorjMcKie]

Best use Redaction annotations:

words = page.get_text("words")
page.add_redact_annot(w[:4])  # for some desired w in words
page.add_redact_annot(v[:4])  # for another desired v in words
...
page.apply_redactions()  # remove all text in above redactions

[MallRoy]

Is there any other work around without using redaction

[JorjMcKie]

No, there is not.
What's wrong with redactions?

[MallRoy]

A few pdf we handle are corrupted, when we load them with pymupdf and process and which leads to some adverse effects. so we do the additional process for repairing before doing the redaction.
