AcroFind
Every report drowns in acronyms — and someone always asks what one of them means. AcroFind lists every acronym in your document, finds the definitions, and builds the definitions table for you.

"Could you add a list of abbreviations?"
It's the review comment every long document gets. So you scroll through 40 pages hunting for capital letters, paste them into a table, and still miss the SLA on page 12 and the KPI that was never defined anywhere.
AcroFind does the hunting in one scan. It finds every acronym — including dotted forms like E.U. — counts how often each one appears, shows the first-use context, and spots inline definitions like "Service Level Agreement (SLA)" so they're paired up automatically. Pro turns the result into a formatted definitions table in one click.
Free vs Pro
Free finds and pairs every acronym. Pro builds the table, remembers your glossary, and flags what's defined too late.

FAQ
What counts as an acronym?
Runs of 2–6 capital letters, including dotted forms like E.U. or U.S. — so it catches SLA and KPI without flagging every capitalised word. You can dismiss false positives from the list before building the table.
Where does the definitions table go?
Your choice: at the cursor or at the start of the document — a clean, alphabetical two-column table. On older Word versions without table-insert API support, AcroFind says so honestly and offers the list as text instead.
Where is my glossary stored?
Locally, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded — the scan runs entirely inside Word, and Pro's CSV export means you own your glossary. See the privacy policy.
