How to Replace Text and Images in PDF document in Ruby using Aspose.PDF REST API

Aspose.PDF Cloud Product Family
1

Hello trying to use: GitHub - aspose-pdf-cloud/aspose-pdf-cloud-ruby: Ruby library for communicating with the Aspose.PDF Cloud API


I’ve been able to upload a pdf and to see its page count, event get the text. But when it comes to editing a pdf I just get 400 bad requests.

looking at my activity log I see:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.


It could be looking at the library code, that it’s not updated to take storage parameters.

Anyway i’m interested in replacing text and images, both do not work.

    rect.ury = 300

    text_replace = TextReplace.new
    text_replace.old_value = 'market'
    text_replace.new_value = 'm_a_r_k_e_t'
    text_replace.regex = false
    text_replace.rect = rect
