Removing only Shapes in PDF page

[jjfang]

Hello, I have a PDF document with pages containing images, text, and shapes.

I was wondering if there is a way to remove only certain shapes retrieved via the Page.get_drawings() function, while leaving all the other objects in the page the same. Something like the Page.delete_image() function, but for shapes instead.

Thanks!

Hi, no that is not supported, sorry.

[JorjMcKie]

no, there are no such plans.

Hello, PyMuPDF is very powerful and I thank you for creating it! ...Is it now supported to delete vector images? I recently encountered this need at work.

@aqz236 it still is not supported. But: there are plans to support (= include) removal of vector graphics by way of redaction annotations. In a similar way as we do images.
Probably, we will however not support partial removal, only either all or nothing.
