Question

Batch Editing

I am trying to edit a PDF and wanted to see if there was a way to edit a phone number that appears multiple times and change to a different number. For example, the number (123) 456-7892 should be listed as (123)456-7890, but it was entered incorrectly about 200 times on the document.

Is there a way to change these all at once to the correct number?

Yes, use the redaction tool.

Thank you, Thom.

Unfortunately, I am not able to find the tool. I have the upgraded version, but for some reason it is not showing up under the "Edit" Option.

Redaction is it's own toolset. So you'll find it in the general tools listing. But it's easier to just use the tool search.
