I'm using AutoBookmark for Adobe Acrobat plugin which is utilizing regular expressions.
My expression is looking like this:
(?<=WordToLookBehind\s\s)FirstWordInBold.*$
So the script is giving me the exact number of bookmarks i need, but the problem is that sometimes Bold text is having a few newlines. Hence .*$ is cutting the necessary string. What would be a possible solution?

Try `(?<=WordToLookBehind\s\s)FirstWordInBold.*\R*` or `(?<=WordToLookBehind\s\s)FirstWordInBold.*\s*` – The fourth bird Jun 04 '20 at 20:32

Both expressions are reading bold text till the end of the row, but newlines are still missing – Boikameri Jun 09 '20 at 08:35

According to this discussion https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49251418/can-i-match-bold-text-using-regular-expression regex lacks feature of matching text by such parameters as bold, italic etc... – Boikameri Jul 27 '20 at 13:36

That is right, regex matches text. You need something in the text to identify that it is bold. – The fourth bird Jul 27 '20 at 13:40

Furthermore, seems like it's possible with HTML documents and [B\][a-zA-Z0-9._/ ]+\[/B\] expression. Ain't there specific tags for PDF files? – Boikameri Jul 27 '20 at 14:07
