Hola, ¿hay alguna forma de poder modificar un texto en varias páginas al mismo tiempo? Tengo un PDF de 700 páginas y quiero hacer la misma modificación en todas las páginas, por favor ayuda.

You can use the Search & Remove Text command to achieve something similar, but it will only work correctly if:

- The new text is more or less the same length as the old one (for example, if you replace "apple" with "orange", but not if you replace "apple" with "grapefruit"), as it will not "re-flow" the rest of the text automatically.

- The old text is not placed on top of an image or other kind of graphic.

- The properties (font, size, color, etc.) of the old text are the same for all instances of it, and known to you.

Forgot to mention: You need to place the new text as the Overlay Text of that command for it to appear after the old text is removed.

In Acrobat, no. If you have access to the original document, the application that created that document can probably do that. Otherwise, the next best option would be to export the contents into a Word document, do what you need to do, and re-PDF the file.

Thanks for the answer, I have tried it with Word and without success, I have tried it with several programs such as: PDF-XChange Editor, Sejda PDF, Smallpdf, or ILovePDF and it does not work either.

I have to try AutoHotkey, or Ghostscript, and if not Script with Python (using PyPDF2 or pdfrw)

It is sad that today it is so complicated to edit a large PDF with so many APPS and programs that exist, greetings.
