In Adobe Acrobat how do I hiding / masking a text line in all the pages

I want to hide a text in first page, which is located on all 200 pages at the same location of the page (not the same text/word/charcter but same size)

How can I hide/mask (change the font to white or put a regtangular white box on top the text) in the first page and apply that to all the rest of the pages.. instead of doing it for all 200 pages manually.

Is it possible in Adobe Acrobat, any help?

captainreiss:
I think your suggestion might help/fix.

But I coulnd't able to do the second part, right click the filed to find the "Duplicate" option and "select all"
I am on Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard.
Hi

I believe that A7 has not got the option to duplicate, if I recall correctly it was an 8 and above feature.

The problem is that the normal copy and paste does place the field in the centre of the view and not at the same place.

You may need to upgrade to 8 to do this.

Sorry

Hi Capt.

I installled Acrobat 8 in a computer to test this out. I still have problem finding the "Duplicate" function.  Can you direct me how to get this.

Also, There is no "Find and Replace" in Acrobat 7 or 8 is it?
Hi

The 'Duplicate' option is on the context menu, when you right click on the field. I have checked in Acrobat Professional 7 on a colleague's PC and it is there too. I wonder whether it is not on Standard...

There is no Find and Replace as in Word just a find option.

Let me know if you have further trouble

Thanks captainreiss for you quick response. You are right, the standard version (both 7 & 8) does not have these (and many other) options. I checked it on a Acrobat 8 Pro and it is there. I think this is a good workaround for me for now. I will also play with the Redaction features in Acrobat 8 Professional.
Thanks and good luck with your project.

Best wishes
