JavaScript can not modify PDF text, only the properties of form fields.

Sure you can do this, but you should find words on a page and thier coordinates use the "doc.getPageNthWord()" and "doc.getPageNthWordQuad()" functions.

Thanks Saravana. Those will help. I thought I saw an article or entry somewhere that told about how to use those two methods you mention but I can't seem to find it. Anyway thanks again.
