I need to update the base URL for multiple links. Instead of editing each individual Action for each link, how do I batch edit links?
The URLs are NOT part of the text in the body of the document, so a simple find/replace action will not work. Is there no tool to enable find/replace functionality for link actions?

You need to go outside of Acrobat to do it (or to use a plugin).

I've developed this tool for exactly this purpose: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Batch Edit URL Links in PDF Files

Hi @all,

is there any way anyone is aware of to batch/mass edit multiple (or all) links in a PDF document, in order to change the link target zoom ratio, for example from a certain zoom percentage to "inherit zoom"?

Thanks heaps already for any ideas!

The tool I offer is very much "legit", I can assure you. It has a free demo version, which you're welcome to download and test for yourself before purchasing the full version.
