Is there a way to redact a bank account number on multiple pages at one time. In the Find Text section it does not allow you to search for account numbers.

I'm assuming you have Acrobat Pro. You can create an Action that executes the Search & Redact Text command (as well as a command to apply the redactions and then save the file), and run it on all of your files at once.

500 files is about the limit Acrobat can handle in a single process, though, from my experience, so you might want to do it in batches.

What do you mean? You can search for any string you want...

I need to redact a bank account number from multiple different pages (500+) and wondering if there is an easy way to do it without having to search each page.

Yes it is Acrobat Pro. How do I create this action?


Via Tools - Action Wizard. See: Adobe Acrobat Pro Action Wizard
