I have several multi-page PDF's in which I need to add the "chapter" title at the top of every page. How do I Copy and Paste the text box to the exact same position of every page without having to manually paste it on each page one at a time?"

If you're using a text field, right-click it in Form Edit mode and Select Duplicate Across Pages... This will create exact copies of the field on the pages you specify.

I want to delete texts/ text boxes (maybe watermarks) from multiple pages....is there any easy way to select them all at once and delete , as i have thousands of pages.

 

Currently i would have to select them each time then press delete

The first step has to be knowing exactly what kind of object you want to remove. What tool do you use when you remove it manually?

    Could you please give more detail of your instructions? All I have so far is a text box on Page 1 that I want to copy to the remaining pages. When I click on Form Edit it keeps telling me "Currently there are no form fields in this PDF. Do you want Acrobat to detect form fields for you?"

    If it's telling you that then you don't have a text field, but something

    else. It's probably just plain text that is a part of the file.

    You need to add a real text field in Form Edit (tell it No when it asks you

    to detect form fields), using the Add New Field tool.

    Then you set its appearance properties and edit it to have the value that

    you want, and then follow my instructions from earlier.
