Question from Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/adobeacrobat/posts/10150347271057319
 
Would someone have a how-to use the redacting properties of Adobe Acrobat X, to highlight all the words from all the PDF files stored in a certain folder BUT USING THE WORDS CONTAINED IN A TXT FILE (that is using a dictionary of words to highlight in the PDF files). Thanks in advance.

My Product Information:
Acrobat 10.1
