Video: How to Find and Replace text in a PDF
The PDF Editor allows you to search for and replace words and phrases. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Click the tab in the pane on the left or click View > Search in the main menu to open
the Search pane.
2. Navigate to the Replace tab.
3. In the Find what text field, type the word or phrase you want to find.
Words or phrases that match your query will be highlighted in the document.
The search results will be arranged into groups (by source: text, comments, or bookmarks)
and you will be able to highlight entire groups.
4. If required, click the arrow next to the icon and select any of the following:
· Exact Match will find only words that are an exact match of the words you typed in the
search box.
E.g. searching for the word "correct" will not find words like "incorrectly" or "correction".
· Match Case will find only words that match the capitalization in your query.
E.g. searching for the word "Editor" will not find words like "editor" or "EDITOR".
5. In the Replace with field, enter the text that will replace the original text.
6. In the search results, mark a word or phrase to be replaced.
To replace several words or phrases at once, select the appropriate value in the Search
panel.
