Can I find and highlight certain text automatically? I have a document 4k+ pages and need to highlight a recurring word. Actually it is two words, but need them different colors.
Or would WORD make more sense?
There are several ways this can be done in a PDF file:
- In Acrobat you can do it using a script, although processing 4K pages will probably be too much for a script to handle.
- In Acrobat Pro you can use an Action to mark the words for removal and then use a script to convert that redaction markup into a highlight.
- It's also possible to do it using a stand-alone tool.
I've developed all three tools. For example, this script : Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Highlight All Instances of a Word or Phrase in a PDF
