Ive got a folder with 100's of 1 page PDFs.

The PDFs all have a footer in them, in which there is a typo.

I want to essentially run a batch find and replace across all the PDFs to fix the typo.

I do not have the original source files the PDFs where generated from, but i do have Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (latest version) as part of creative cloud.

Is there any way i can do this, using Acrobat or other software ?

Ive found this video on a work around, but for 100s of PDFs this would involve too much manual work.

    Couldn't you combine the PDFs first into one document, then do the search and replace, then extract each page as a separate PDF? – Billy Kerr Sep 20 '19 at 11:34

I am no Acrobat expert but a quick perusal of the features of Acrobat DC shows it should be possible to combine the PDFs into one document, then do a search and replace, then extract each page as a separate PDF. Try that.
