How to automate the italization of specific terms in texts in Acrobat DC?

[ffmbezerra1974]

I have a big problem with formatting and correcting text in Adobe Acrobat DC. I need to edit and italize hundreds of texts in student certificates. Specifically, in scientific terms, they need to be in italics, but the plugin I use in Google Sheets cannot perform this action, it only recognizes the textual content and generates it in PDF, without the respective terms italicized.
Does anyone have a solution to automate this task through actions or using javascript in text in Adobe Acrobat DC?

May be possible when you create a plugin for Adobe Acrobat.

If this is static text it's quite difficult to do that in a PDF file. You would need to identify all the instances of all of these texts and then overlay them with form fields or comments containing the same text, but with an italic font, and then flatten the file. This is a complex task, and a script might not be up to it if you have very long documents.

Also, it can't know what font is used, nor what color it has (or the color underneath it), so the new text might seem weird in the context of the sentence. The font size can be estimated based on the size of the original text.
