I have a PDF that has a recurring paragraph on all pages, how/what do i use to do this. I have PDF expert and it's easy doing one page but i have 200 pages
cheers
 
Look for a feature called "watermark"

In PDFpen, I can place a text block. Then convert it to a Watermark. It will be placed on all pages automatically. Note that it goes behind other elements. not in front so that may or may not be a problem.
 
In PDFpen you can also copy that text block, then select all of the thumbnails in the left column and paste it into every page with a single paste command.

Sorry for late reply, Mac graphics card fell over.
The watermark removal did not work, back to the drawing board

Are you trying to add or remove a watermark? I thought you wanted to add one. If you want to remove, that would be tougher. PDF Pen has the option to remove a watermark from one or multiple pages, but I don’t know if that will only remove watermarks placed by PDF Pen or if this is a more generalized function.

I tried looking for it in a text editor but the way PDF files are encoded makes that unhelpful.
 
Trying to remove it, i thought it was just a hear at the start but guess it must be a water mark. It's a book i want to tead and would just like to remove it.
 
"It's a book i want to tead and would just like to remove it."

Have you considered searching for a version of the same book from other sources, possibly in other formats (such as "epub" and "mobi")???
