hi,
I want in a PDF search with VB for specials strings and then I want replace it. Example: Search vor <<Name>> und change this to "Michael".

....
Set avCodeFile = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
avCodeFile.FindText "<<Name>>", 0, 0, 1

Now, how can I change the selection into "Michael"?

I don't want to work with formula fields, because the changed pdf's should be saved and if a user open it, there should be no formula fields for him.
Or anybody knows a methode to convert formula fields into normal textfields? I have made a test and save the formula-pdf as a postscript-file and back-convert it, with the Destiller into pdf. But the quality was bad.

Thanks for any ideas
