Is there any way at all to do this in Acrobat Pro DC without having to manually go through all 70k pages?

It's possible to do that using a script (under some circumstances), but 70K pages is really too much for a script in Acrobat to be able to handle. I would recommend using a plugin or a stand-alone tool, instead.

If you're interested in hiring someone to develop this tool for you feel free to contact me privately via [try6767 at gmail.com] and we could discuss it further.
