"Find and Replace All" Functionality for Adobe Acrobat

Dear Adobe Acrobat Development Team,
I am writing to request a new feature for Adobe Acrobat that I believe would greatly enhance the usability and efficiency of the software for many users. Specifically, I would like to suggest the addition of a "Find and Replace All" functionality that allows users to search for a specific text string within a PDF document and replace all exact occurrences of that string with another specified text.
Currently, while Adobe Acrobat provides powerful tools for editing and searching text, there is no streamlined way to automatically replace all instances of a particular text string across an entire document. This feature is common in word processing software, and its absence in PDF editing can be a significant inconvenience for users who need to make consistent changes across lengthy documents.
The "Find and Replace All" feature should include the following capabilities:
- Case-Sensitive and Case-Insensitive Options: Allow users to choose whether the search should be case-sensitive.
- Whole Word Matching: Enable the option to match only whole words, preventing partial replacements within other words.
- Review Changes Before Replacing: Provide an option to review each occurrence before replacing, similar to the functionality in text editors.
- Undo Functionality: Ensure that the replacement action can be easily undone in case of mistakes.
This feature would save time, reduce the potential for errors, and make Adobe Acrobat an even more powerful tool for document editing. I believe that this addition would be highly appreciated by the global user base, particularly those who frequently work with large documents or need to ensure consistency in legal, academic, or professional documents.
Thank you for considering this suggestion. I look forward to seeing Adobe Acrobat continue to evolve and improve.
Best regards,
