Thanks in advance for anyone willing and able to help. I'm new to Acrobat, and am hoping to find a way to use the Find and Replace with function for text that has been input into text form fields. Is this possible? I tried and an error message popped up that said "Unable to highlight text in Form Fields. Should I be using another method to create the fields?

It's possible using a script. For example, you can use this (paid-for) tool I've developed that does just that:

Thanks for the suggestion! If we have mulitple users linked through our business account, would we need to purchase the tool for each user? If so, I think I need to find another solution, or somehow figure out how replace the form fields with something similar that controls where and how text can be added but doesn't have the same restrictions of the form field
