Find & Replace

Post by Roniou »

Hi
I have not been able to find the following function is there some way to do the following:

In an existing pdf document if I want to replace one word throughout the whole document with another word is that possible.
Lets say I wanted to replace an individual's name John with Richard would this be possible to find all the occurrences of the word John and then replace this with Richard.

Thanks for your help with this.

Hello Roniou,

Unfortunately, the Fine and Replace feature is still under development.

It will be implemented at some later point.

As a workaround you may use the Find and Redact tool:

+1 for find+replace feature, with the ability to find/replace in all open documents/tabs.

I'm surprised this feature hasn't been in it from the beginning (or at least as soon as any editing capability was added), as it's such a common feature in word processor's and text editor's.

Hoping to see it soon, as it's badly missed.

I'd be interested in testing abeta version with this feature in.

You got my +1 as well.

Would it work in typewriter/callout/pop-up fields as well as regular PDF text-fields?

Hello, Buddel1

I'm sorry to say that it is still not ready, Perhaps we will see this in time for the V10 release, but for now, I cannot offer a timeline.

Kind regards,
