How to program a text search and replace in PDF files

How would I be able to programmatically search and replace some text in a large number of PDF files? I would like to remove a URL that has been added to a set of files. I have been able to remove the link using javascript under Batch Processing in Adobe Pro, but the link text remains. I have seen recommendations to use text touchup, which works manually, but I don't want to modify 1300 files manually.

Not sure I would want to do all the work to write the code to modify your 1300 files when there is a program that can do it for you. The other day, I used the Professional version of Infix to batch modify almost 100 files using its "Find and Replace in Files" feature. It works great. I have evaluated other programs in hopes finding an find and replace functionality similar to Microsoft Word. Infix was the only one I found that can do it.
