The Adobe Acrobat Action Wizard allows you to automate repetitive processes and save them as an action to be applied later to a single PDF, or an entire folder of PDFs. In older Acrobat versions, actions were known as Batch Processes. The Action Wizard allows you to export action files and save them to your hard drive so you can share them with other users, who can import the action files, without have to re-write them.
Before you attempt to create an action, you can check with the Acrobat Actions Exchange where you can download for free, action files that have been created by other users and uploaded to the exchange. One of the most popular downloads is the Find and Highlight Words action, described as follows:
