| Subject: | Use 'Find - Change' To Touch Up Text |
Is it possible to automate the touch up text function in a PDF using a find > change function, similar to that find > change that can be performed in a Word document?
I would like to search for a font attribute such as point size, and once found, change it to a larger point size.
Any ideas on this would be appreciated.

PDF doesn't really lend itself to this, because each character on
the page is separately positioned, rather than forming part of a
text flow. In a Word document, if you change a font, a word, or
a size, everything else is adjusted, and Word knows the margins
and columns. PDF knows none of this.
If you want to do this sort of thing, better to extract the text,
and recreate the PDF from a Word (or whatever) document you
have adjusted.

Thanks for the suggestion. The document doesn't lend itself to anything near a clean extraction into Word. For that reason, I really need to keep it as a PDF and make my edits there.

For others who may be looking to make changes to PDFs, I found a nice third party pdf editor that can make formatting changes to a pdf. It is called InFix Pro. However, it has a lot more functionality than I need now or will ever use.
Does Anyone else have any ideas on how to batch touch up text attributes via Acrobat?
