Question

How to get the translation of a word in the comments of all the same words

Hello dear helpers, I hope the following is possible.

I would like to read more difficult English so I wonder if it's possible to write the translation of a word in the comment box of that selected word and somehow get this translation in all comment boxes of this specific word, for example, the word "experiment" I translate in my own language and everywhere in the document this word "experiment" gets automatically the comment box with the translation attached.

 

Thanks in advance,

Ben

Yes, this is possible, but it requires a custom-made tool. Also, you would need to specify the translation for each word, it can't do it by itself.

 

I've actually developed a (paid-for) tool that allows you to do just that (ie. highlight all instances of the same word or phrase with an identical comment attached to them). You can find it here: https://www.try67.com/tool/acrobat-highlight-all-instances-of-a-word-or-phrase-in-a-pdf
