How Do I Remove a Box Around Text in a PDF in AutoCAD?

Have you ever encountered a situation where you need to remove a box around text in a PDF file in AutoCAD? If so, you’re in the right place! In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to remove that unwanted box and make your text look clean and professional.

Step 1: Open the PDF file in AutoCAD

To begin, launch AutoCAD and open the PDF file that contains the text box you want to remove. You can do this by clicking on “Open” in the File menu or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + O.

Step 2: Select the Text Box

Once you have opened the PDF file, locate the text box that you want to remove. To select it, click and drag your cursor over the entire box. The box should now be highlighted.

Step 3: Access Text Formatting Options

With the text box selected, navigate to the “Format” menu at the top of your screen. Click on “Text” to open a drop-down menu with various formatting options.

Step 3.1: Remove Border Style

In the Text Formatting options, locate and click on “Border Style”. A new dialog box will appear with different border styles for your text box.

  • Select No Border: Choose this option to remove any border around your selected text box. This will make your text appear as if it is part of the document without any additional boxes or lines around it.
  • Note: If your text box has different borders on each side (e.g., top, bottom, left, right), make sure to select “No Border” for each side individually.

Step 4: Apply the Changes

After selecting “No Border” for all sides of your text box, click on the “OK” button to apply the changes. The box around your text should now be removed, leaving only the clean text in its place.

Step 5: Save the Modified PDF

Finally, don’t forget to save your modified PDF file. Go to the File menu and click on “Save” or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + S. Choose a location on your computer and give your modified file a new name if desired.

Congratulations! You have successfully removed the box around text in a PDF file using AutoCAD. Now you can use this newfound knowledge to make your documents look even more professional and polished.
