Hi Dorian, I'd suggest starting with the RemoveAllText.java example to see the basic pattern for filtering items from the PDF token stream.
What should work is to adapt this example to remove the "Do" operator and operands where the corresponding PDXObject is an instance of PDImageXObject. This will remove raster images but if you've got line art on the page, that will remain.

I use for the first time the library and I have one < how to > question. I need to remove all pictures from a selectable pdf (I can select the text with the mouse). Solutions exist on stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6831194/how-can-i-remove-all-images-drawings-from-a-pdf-file-and-leave-text-only-in-java and elsewhere but the code is old and refers to nonexistent methods nowadays. Indeed, I am not able to find this miraculous method : resources.getImages().clear(); Does this feature still exist ? Is there a simple way to fullfill my objective ?
