"Replace with" -> "Replace ALL with"

Hi,

since this whole forum is in english, ill try to explain my problem in english (and not in german...). Please excuse any mistakes...

When I use the "search" button in a document, i can extend the "search field" by "replace with" (not sure if this is the correct translation, but since i only have the program in german, i have to guess...). Anyways, what it does is that i searches the whole document for a certain word (eg. "Smithh"). Obviously "Smithh" isn't spelled correct, so i want to replace every "Smithh" with the correct "Smith". Is there any way to correct all of them with just one click, or do i have to search for every single one and then click  "replace with"? (which would take ages, since its a rather huge document)

I hope i was able to explain my problem... Thanks so much in advance!

Cheers

Ken

      You posted your question in the Reader forum, but the Replace option is only available in Acrobat, so I assume that's what you're using... And no, there isn't a Replace All command in Acrobat. You can ask for it to be added here: Feature Request/Bug Report Form

          To be honest I'm surprised it exists at all, as PDF files were never meant to be editable in this way...
