I am using Acrobat 6, I have access to Pitstop, but do not have access to any source files for the PDF in question.



I have PDF documents that contain characters which need to be changed -ala- MS Word's advanced find/replace features.



For example, throughout the document, in more than one font, I have the text "eServer"



I have a custom font that contains only a stylized symbol mapped to the "~" key. This stylized symbol needs to replace the leading "e" in "eServer" wherever it appears. (The end result would look more like "~Server", but the "~" would be the stylized symbol in one font, while the "Server" text would remain in its original font.) Also, the cutomized font is not currently used-in or embedded-in the PDF document.


Any suggestions? I KNOW how to do this in MS Word, but Acrobat does not seem to have advanced find/replace features.
