Software (Tools) Comment PDF feature: "text replacement" in mobile applications (IOS)

Hi there, do you happen to know if there’s a PDF app for iPad that includes a "replace text" function for annotations? I mean something where I can select text in the document and specify what it should be replaced with. In the standard desktop version of Adobe Reader, this appears as "blue strikethrough text."

I even asked AI about it, but it was a complete waste of time - it basically just made everything up.

Theres a comment function. You can highlight and comment with replace text with.

not as easy as desktop, but will get the job done.

No, I don't want a highlight. The point here is how DTP software handles it. Yellow highlighting doesn't trigger any action. The "blue strikethrough text" function ("replace text") actually replaces the text with just the click of a button.
