Acrobat pro 8 - how do I change the font for an entire document?

I'm working on several 200 page documents and I need to edit the font. I want to reduce the font size for the entire document by 2 points but I cannot find the correct option. All I can do is select all the text of a single page and reduce the font size of the particular page. Then I have to repeat this for 100s of pages.

Is there an option to select all the text of the entire document? Better yet, it there a way to tell Acrobat to reduce all the text size by 2 points?

Hi -

No, you can't. Acrobat isn't a word processor, and doesn't allow you to select the entire document, as you discovered. If possible, have the source files modified and recreate the PDF. That's far simpler and faster.
