I have on each page of my PDF document a line with this string:
%REPLACE%
Which I'd like to find and replace with another string.
Does anyone know how to do this with some command line application?
Thanks.

I want to find specific text or word from PDF file and replace it with another text and make a new PDF file from command-line. I tried with sed, find, awk series on text files but I want to get on PDF file. Which command line utility will help me?
Thanks.

How would I be able to programmatically search and replace some text in a large number of PDF files? I would like to remove a URL that has been added to a set of files. I have been able to remove the link using javascript under Batch Processing in Adobe Pro, but the link text remains. I have seen recommendations to use text touchup, which works manually, but I don't want to modify 1300 files manually.
Thanks.

I am writing a batch file script using Windows command-line environment and want to change each occurrence of some text in a file (ex. "FOO") with another (ex. "BAR"). What is the simplest way to do that? Any built in functions?
Thanks.

I have a PDF that has my name as an obnoxious watermark through out a rather long PDF file. I tried replacing the text in LibreOffice Draw with blanks, but while my name does appear as text, the find and replace function seems to tank my computer taking significant RAM and CPU time to do.
Is there a command line way to remove strings from PDF? Hmm. Can sed do that?
Thanks.

When I am modifying a PDF document, there is a situation that the same name or number needs to be modified to the same content. If there is a replacement function, it is much more convenient than to find and modify one by one. Both Word and Excel have this function, so does PDF also have this function?
Thanks.
