# changepagestring(1p)

Search and replace in all PDF pages

## NAME

changepagestring - Search and replace in all PDF pages

## SYNOPSIS

```
 changepagestring [options] infile.pdf search-regex replace-str [outfile.pdf]
 Options:
   -o --order          preserve the internal PDF ordering for output
   -v --verbose        print diagnostic messages
   -h --help           verbose help message
   -V --version        print CAM::PDF version
```

## DESCRIPTION

Searches through all pages of a PDF file for instances of `"search-regex"` and inserts `"replace-str"`.  The regex should be a form that Perl understands.  Note that this does not change the PDF metadata like forms and annotation.  To change metadata, use instead *changepdfstring*.
