For example: I want to convert 0.162 to 0,162 and I want to do that for all numbers in my document. Do I have to use javascript for that?

Are the numbers something you can fill-in like a form? Or are they in an ordinary page? You cannot use JavaScript for ordinary text. There is no "replace all", and no way to recognise that these are part of numbers rather than between sentences.

OMG is that impossible? 

Isn't there any option (ex.) to select a specific table that contains numbers and to convert their dots like doing Microsoft word?

Acrobat is NOT Microsoft Word and you will always be disappointed if you try to compare them. The editing in Acrobat is for fixing minor problems, it isn't a competitor to Word. PDF is very difficult to edit, it was not made for this. In fact, many people choose it BECAUSE it's hard to edit.

You could try Exporting to Word, editing, and remaking the PDF. Sometimes the results are OK, often not.
