This Specification Flow Task will find and replace instances of a Keyword, in selected PDF document pages.
| Property Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Changes the Title (not the name) of the task. |
| PDF File | The full file path to the PDF document to be edited.
Relative paths are resolved to the Specification directory if no prefix is defined. Accepted prefixes: <Project>, <Specification>, <SpecificationMetadata>, <GroupContent> |
| Page Range | Use '*' or leave empty to select all pages.
Also accepts pipebar delimited list of page numbers, e.g. '1|2|3', or a range using a hyphen, e.g. '1-3'. |
| Keyword | The Keyword to be replaced.
Keyword replacement is case sensitive. The Keyword can include spaces. If the Keyword is matched within a longer word it will still replace the declared string. |
| New Keyword | The replacement for the original Keyword.
If replacing text in a paragraph, the New Keyword should be of the same length or shorter than the Keyword. This will stop text overlapping on the next line. |
| Keyword Index | The instance of the keyword to replace on the target pages.
Zero (the default value) can be used to replace all instances of the keyword. This is the index of the Keyword on each page declared in the page range. This field only accepts a single Keyword Index value. If you would like to replace a different index of the Keyword on each page, you will have to combine multiple instances of this Task. |
