  • You are confusing the Portable Document Format (PDF) with a Word processing format. Please read the intro of [Chapter 6 of my book](https://manning-content.s3.amazonaws.com/download/3/3c9ca46-76da-4de2-8972-b82efbe0bf88/samplechapter6.pdf) to understand why your assumption that you can replace a specific word in an existing PDF *using any software* is wrong. – Bruno Lowagie Sep 22 '15 at 08:12

  • I want to use iTextSharp dll (progamitacally) to replace the string in my PDF not by using any software. – avinash singh Sep 22 '15 at 09:36
  • Er... the iTextSharp DLL is software. I am telling you that you are trying to do something that is **not done** in general. – Bruno Lowagie Sep 22 '15 at 10:05

    Sorry but I also have to agree with Bruno. The reason that you couldn't find a "proper" was is that it doesn't exist. [This answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/29602320/231316) also does a great job of going over the very top level things – Chris Haas Sep 22 '15 at 13:21
