Dear Sir/Madam,
 
Wondering if there is a way to update the same keyword/phrase and make all these same keywords/phrases into hyperlinks in a PDF document?
 
For example, I have a PDF document that is talking about BMW cars. I want to make the word “BMW” into a clickable hyperlink and link it to “http://www.bmwusa.com”
 
Now, the word “BMW” appears hundreds of times throughout the document, is there a way to “batch” hyperlink this keyword?
 
Also, is it possible to batch hyperlink keywords across multiple PDF files?

 
*Not sure if I am posting at the correct Topic area, if not, do apologize
 
Thank you very much for your help
 
Best regards,
Rob

I created a script that does just that. It has both a batch and a single-file version.
