Hi,
You could get the content stream, and then search for something like this:
q
1 0 0 1 564.094 785.197 cm
0 0 m
31.182 0 l
31.182 -31.181 l
0 -31.181 l
f*
Q
This is the same in all pages except for the 6th number.
Then you rewrite the content stream. See the RemoveAllTexts example for
some inspiration on how to get and rewrite the tokens.
I used PDFDebugger to look at the content stream.

Hello,
I’ve been using Pdfbox with full satisfaction since a couple of
months. Anyway, for the problem I’m facing now I can’t find a viable
solution so I’m asking for some help.
I have to delete from the pdf file, a small black square that is on
the odd pages along the right border of the page (here is an
examplehttps://www.dropbox.com/s/tlny4qkiek5efb0/example.pdf?dl=0). I
got the square dimension, so can easily retrieve the x coordinate: the
problem is that I don’t have the y as it could be placed at any height
in the page. I thought to cover it by placing a withe rectangle as a
strip alongside the right border of the page, but this is not feasible
as some row text could end inside that zone.
The rest of the page contains text and picture and that square is the
only “shape” in the page. Is there a way to get it or its coordinates?
Many thanks
Michele
