Fixing links to an attached pdf document when the file name changes

New Here ,
Apr 25, 2016 Apr 25, 2016

I need some help with a question.

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.

I have two documents:  Doc 1 is the main document and Doc 2 is an attached document.

Doc 2 has about 70 defined destinations.

Doc 1 contain about 100 link to Doc 2 which were created using the Add/Edit link and the destinations.

The editors have to change the name of Doc 2 to Doc 3.

I can recreate the same Destinations in Doc 3 in about an hour.

Is there an easy way to fix all of the links in Doc 1 to now use Doc 3 (like a global search and replace)?

I'm sure that I know what the answer is, but wanted to ask.

It is possible with a plug-in for Acrobat.

Do you know the plug-in name or location?

Search the web for a third-party plug-in or create your own plug-in.

You can also do it with a stand-alone application, like this one I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Batch Edit File Links in PDF Files
