I'm on latest greatest Pitstop. It's not in action lists but I have the action if I go to make a new one.
It only takes one "aw shit" to wipe out a whole bunch of "atta boys".

I'm still not clear on how Pitstop would help. If you're just doing a search it seems like it is more work than just using Acrobat search.

I think the action report would give you what pages they are on while Acrobat search you would just to search for each time it appears and write down the page numbers as you go.

But as abc said, "If it appears as individual characters you can merge to words/lines depending on what you are searching for" so you would have to fix each instance if the text is individual characters or even individual words...or maybe if they were individual words it would still find it. Can't check because...no Pitstop.

Luckily they're already complete lines of text.

Eh, I'm too stupid to figure out how to let me enter/identify the name(s).
