Find and replace text in a PDF

How to do it

Change a name, a date or a typo everywhere it appears, with a preview of every change first.

Open the PDF and press Ctrl+H.
Type what to find, and what to replace it with.
Check the Results tab. Each match shows how its line will read after the change.
Click Replace or Skip for each one, or Replace all OK to make every change that can be made. Then save.

Find and Replace with the Results tab previewing each change, some marked Reflowed, Adjusted or Refused

Good to know

A longer word that doesn't fit its line reflows its paragraph, marked Reflowed. Only a change that can't be made faithfully even then, like one in a table cell or beside a picture, is marked Refused, with the reason, and left as it was.
The find bar's switch covers this document, the tabs you selected, or all open tabs.
Replacing them all is one undo step for each document.
