Hi all,
Is there a way to highlight a particular word automatically throughout a PDF?
Eg I'd like the word "loss" to be highlighted everywhere in a document (200+ occurences) without having to skip through the search results doing it manually for each one?
I use Acrobat reader and Prof. v7.0.5
Thanks

You can't highlight them all but you can use the F3 key (Windows only) to navigate through all your search terms and highlight them.

Rick Borstein also has a suggestion to highlight multiple words in a PDF using Acrobat 8 Pro. at:
