Text changed to graphics, still selectable in PDF?

I have this PDF ebook with selectable text - the handwriting - but there is no such font embedded and the letters are all different, so it's not actually a font. How is this possible?
I've worked with CorelDraw and Adobe Acrobat, but I can't understand how this works.
The left side of the picture shows the document properties, the right side shows a page of the PDF file and I selected the last 3 rows. I can copy and paste that to a text file, no problem. How was this achieved?
There are a few possibilities but the most likely is the text is being converted to outlines/paths or vectors. Some software such as Adobe InDesign and other print design apps allow you to 'flatten' a font based text into vector or paths, meaning the original font isn't required to be embedded or installed on the system. The original text data is however still present and able to be copied into a text field or word processor.

Ghostscript Pdf Transparant Objects Removal

I have several .pdf containing reoccuring transparent objects (text).
(It has non transparant objects (text and vectors) as well as images)
Not watermarks made by Acrobat or others. It is in the background as styling.
To removing them manualy these is impossible, since the content on the pdf pages is mixed with the text on the page (grouping).
Is there a way to alter the opacity of translucent objects to 0. Or even removing them completely from the pdf, with ghostscript?
Using adobe acrobat pre-flight, and moving them as images, removes all of the images in the pdf, instead of only the transparent objects.
How can this be achieved with the help of Ghostscript and the
appropriate PostScript code?

Where helpful, to know how to get objects and images, but not filtering specifically for transparent objects.
Any ideas are appreciated as well.
I suspect that the reason you can't remove the objects using Acrobat is not because they are transparent. Its much more likely that they are described by a Form XObject. Those can't normally be edited by Acrobat.
You can use -dNOTRANSPARENCY and the pdfwrite device to produce a new PDF file with no transparency, but that will eliminate all the transparency in the output file.
Fundamentally there's no real way to do what you want, other than by manually editing the PDF file in an editor. You should go back to the original document and do the work there. PDF is not intended as an editable format.

Automatically remove all PDF content outside a crop area

For a deck of lecture slides, I have extracted several vector illustrations from a PDF-file. I did this by highlighting the relevant area in Preview.app, copying, and opening a new file from the clipboard.
The figures look just fine, even though I noticed that the files are a little large. When I open them in Illustrator, I can see what's described in the screenshot – that all of the page content is still there, it's just hidden because it lies outside the crop area.
Now I could simply remove everything except the relevant figures in Illustrator, but I would much rather automate the process, since I have a large number of figures.
How can I automate this process such that everything outside the crop area is discarded and everything inside it is preserved as a vector image?
You can use redact utility to remove the content.
Just go to https://doxiview.cib.de/showcase/index.html?locale=default
Choose redact tool
upload your PDF
Choose on the right Select Area and redact fill color as white
Mark all content, which you want to remove
click on apply
download PDF
Afterwards you can crop the PDF and you won't have the content being still there.
There's no need to rasterize. Just crop the pages then use Acrobat DC to "Sanitize" the document. That will completely remove any non-visible parts of the file.
In Acrobat Pro, go to Preflight and select the setting below.
Then click edit to the right
You should be able to create Adobe droplets with this preflight setting for automation

How can I add bleed to a PDF book cover using Photoshop?

I have a book cover sent as a PDF which is according 5x8 dimensions, only that is does not have bleed and I need to add it. I am using Adobe InDesign CC 2015 and Adobe Photoshop CC 2015. How can I make it happen?
Create a document in indesign and place the pdf into the document, centered. The document must have bigger dimensions for the bleed. Then put whatever in the bleed that's necessary.
A better way would be to load the pdf file into Illustrator and add the bleed there. Color matching will be a lot more accurate that way. Especially if the pdf contains any vector artwork like outlined fonts. Make sure you've got the correct fonts installed.
If the pdf only contains bitmap images, you could import it into photoshop. Make sure you've created a new document with the needed dimensions and resolution. 300 to 600 dpi would be a good starting point. Usually type will not look clean and sharp when using photoshop since its working on a picture (bitmap). Illustrator or Indesign would make type much cleaner.
If it's possible to get the source files instead, that would be the preferred method. Even if you'd have to redo the artwork would be better to have the original source files/pictures/fonts etc.

Creating RTF text for clipboard and sharing DataPackage in WinRT

I'm sure this is just a google search away, but I can't find the right search terms to find what I'm looking for.
I've created a DataPackage that has both HTML annd plain text content. I've used this in my copy and my sharing code and it works fine. I now want to create RTF output as some apps don't seem to accept HTML clipboard content.
I'm looking for a good guide to making RTF text that can be added to the DataPackage. I just need simple formatting including changing the font family, font size, font weight and adding newlines. The data comes from a list of objects taht I want to serialise as RTF, not from a text control on the screen.
WordPad outputs fairly clean RTF and some other text editors do as well. If that's not enough, you can download the RTF Specification 1.9.1 although like any specification that's probably overkill for what you're doing.
You can also use the SaveToStream method on the Document property of a RichEditBox from a Metro style app to share out as well.
