Search for a text in a file PDF - c# or Javascript language.
I want to search and highlight text in a pdf file. I have a few extra needs also. Please find the below given prescription.
(1) find text in a pdf file.
(2) highlight all the match. Highlighting color should be decided by the user or programming level.
Search 3) should also be of Page layout (Say-Page1-Page3) or on a single page (Page 5). Or throughout the document.
The code must be written in c# or javascript only.
Thank you for your response. Before you continue, I will quote Adobe products in the cases where this is not familiar.
1 adobe Reader, now called Adobe Acrobat Reader. Free, limited.
2. version adobe Acrobat Standard, Adobe Acrobat Standard DC current. Commercial. PDF creation/editing of base.
3. version adobe Acrobat Pro, Adobe Acrobat Pro DC current. Commercial. Powerful tools for PDF.
These products look similar, but have more functions. 2 and 3 are called together Adobe Acrobat. 1 is not called Adobe Acrobat.
The Adobe Reader programming interface is very limited, by its design. So your direct answer is, no, it is not possible.
If you're ready to buy Adobe Acrobat for each you have a much more powerful programming interface, and what you describe may be possible, but not easy. In this case, you must first download the Acrobat SDK, which limited as much documentation and some samples; Further applications are better sent the kit SDK Acrobat, Acrobat SDK Forum

Please, give me an advise how to search for a number in a file xml (as3.0)
Hello! Sorry for the troubling.
Please, give me an advice how to search for a number in a file xml (as3.0)
Thank you!
My answer was based on your question to find numbers anywhere in the data to an xml file. If you know that the data is digital data and the names of the nodes that contains this data, you do not have to check the characters and can only check numerical data using string values...
function searchXMLFile(Event:MouseEvent):void
{
searchDisplay.text = "";
var pageList:XMLList = xmlFileToSearch.receipt.number;
searchDisplay.text = "false";
for (var i: int = 0; i< pagelist.length();="">
{If (pageList [i] == searchInput.text) {}
searchDisplay.text = "true";
}}
}Even if you are looking for individual digital characters in the previous code that you would have always done by a false exit due having the line 'false' always cancel the real line...
If (t.toString () .indexOf (m_sSearchTerm)! = - 1).
{
searchDisplay.text = "true";
}
searchDisplay.text = "false"; This will always overwrite the textfield

Search for the text value data store
Hello, I have a PDO of data to store, and I would like to search for a text value in a quantity of measure. In each of my test series, there is a quantity of measure with the name TCNAME and stores the cell name of test in the string format. I would like to get all the TCNAMEs that contain "TC4" for example. Currently, I have to load TCNAME in the portal and display it in an array of string.
Any ideas how I can do this?
I assume you are using a PUMA testbed that stores this kind of goods on a unique value chain chains.
There is no direct search method, so I guess that a script is the only solution we can offer.
Datafinder you can search for the minimum and maximum of a channel. That would be too much work in the store of ASAM.
"PDO / cpp"
protected tcnameMQs: set tcnameMQs = store. GetElementList ("MeasurementQuantity", "name = TCNAME", true)
protected tcnameMQ: for each tcnameMQ in tcnameMQs
MsgBox tcnameMq.References ("local_columns"). Elements (1). Properties ("values"). Value
Next' AOP5 / Corba
protected tcnameLCs: set tcnameLCs = store. GetElementList ("LocalColumn", "measurement_quantity.name = TCNAME", true)
protected tcnameLC: for each tcnameLC in tcnameLCs
MsgBox tcnameLC.Properties ("values"). Value
Next
I have added the example which should be the shortest path from my point of view. In AOP5, you can search LocalColumn and spend BA which is less overhead.
It is perhaps a good idea to post-processing of the data base and crush the decription "Test name" by
"The test cell name == NAME. You can search not post-processed by Searchin' for.
protected tcnameMQs: set tcnameMQs = store. GetElementList ("MeasurementQuantity", "description = name of the test cell", true)
protected tcnameMQ: for each tcnameMQ in tcnameMQs
tcnameMQ.Properties ("description"). Value = "name of the test cell is" & tcnameMq.References ("local_columns"). Elements (1). Properties ("values"). Value
Next
Store.SaveThereafter, you would be able to search for it.
Greetings

How to search for words and phrases in multiple pdf documents
Dear Sirs.
I need to search for words AND phrases in a huge amount of PDF files (over 5000). The problem I found by using the "advanced search" is that I am able to search for single words sentences individual GOLD, but I need to combine a lot of words and multiple expressions in the same search. For example, if I need to look for instances of the word 'Florida' or 'Texas' or 'United States', I can't search for each PDF file that contains the word 'Florida' or 'Texas' or the phrase 'United States', since if I put 'word' in the search options, I will receive all the files that contain the word "Florida" or 'Texas' but also 'solidarity' or 'States' and simple words. I tried placing quotes in the words I need to research such as phrases, but it did not work. I would like to know if there is a way I can search the way I need.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Alejandro,
Please see this KB doc. helps Acrobat | The search for PDF files, it will be a great help.

Default properties for the text field of the PDF forms
How can I set the default properties for the text field? The creator of forms set of font sizes that are too large.
Right-click on the field > use current properties as new default.
It will keep the new settings until the next time that you do this. It is not specific to the document. Do it separately for each field type (text, button, etc.)
On an existing form, you can select multiple fields. A pro tip, is that you don't have to close the properties to move from the field to the field to the field. Dungeon opens and work faster.

Search for words in the resource files?
Hi all
I have about 5000 text files in my resources.
What is the best/best way to look for a specific job in these files?
The files are about 2K each.
Thank you.
In fact I still misread the question, then please ignore my previous posts...
I agree with your solution, and since you efficiently load these files from the memory, the charging process should be fast enough, only the research process which will take time. And this is true for any solution.
Another option is to put the files in a SQL database, and then use SQL facilities to perform the research. I tested the performance of this in comparison with a storage research and it's much slower, but much easier to change. Then just a thought.

Find/replace, searching for specific text to replace it with the paragraph tag
I tried to replace a string of text that I have at the beginning of a paragraph indicating a certain style of paragraph with this style of ID while eliminating the text string. For example, I put @IN1 at the beginning of a paragraph I want formatted with the paragraph of my ID IN1 style. However, when I have 'Search' @IN1 with no. find format and 'to' do not change (i.e. empty) with the paragraph style selected 1 selected under format change, it applies the paragraph style, but does not delete the text string @IN1. When you do a search/replace without the portion of paragraph desired syle, he removes the @IN1 correctly. It is a bug, or is there something I have to put in the change of area indicate no text? Thank you
Using the GREP tab, find ^ (@IN1) (.) and replace with $2 and set the paragraph style in the change of format.
The ^ beginning of paragraph says and the $2 is the second subexpression matching.

Search for items in. INI file
Good afternoon
First of all, I work with INI files and Excel files. In fact, all my items in my several INI files are also written in a single Excel file like this:
First INI file
Tag name | Value | Name of the section
Tag name | Value | Name of the section
Tag name | Value | Name of the section
Second INI file
Tag name | Value | Name of the section
Tag name | Value | Name of the section
Tag name | Value | Name of the section
The purpose of my request is to refresh the values of INI files using an Excel file.
For the moment, I have also written all of my tags names and section names in my program.c and I compare and part of my Excel file with all the tables containing the tag name and the name of sections in program.c
I was wondering if, CVI 8.5.1, there is any function which can tell me the Sectionname + Tagname existing in the file I want to. If there is, I wouldn't have to store all my data in many groups.
In fact, I would compare my datas directly with my INI file and not with arrays.
I hope that I was clear enough in what I was looking for.
Thank you in advance.
Vincent Keresztes
I finally find my solution.
I used Ini_ItemExists, which gives me the information I wanted.
Thank you for helping me!

Search for formatting text and convert them to the outline
Hello! I need a script that finds the text formatting and convert them to the outline. If one who can do this script please provide.
Thank you
I need the script to only specific formatting for once. So I don't need any fancy or dialog boxes option. I also did the character for the formatting style.
Try this.
var doc = app.activeDocument; app.findTextPreferences = null; app.findTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = "charstylename"; var found = doc.findText(); for(var i =0;i

Windows 7, the search for directory and files
I want to search a directory with several subfolders and thousands of pdf files. The goal is to select a specified list of file names so that each of them appears in the search results.
Rather than search for a text string, so I want to search in a list of names of known files. I'm looking for a separator I put between each file name on my list (for example, a pipe, comma, or other special character) so that I can paste the complete list of file names in the search box and get my results.
Each file name put on my list be known to exist, that is to say, would generate a find.
Sorry if I did not understand, but I think OR is that what you want?
as in "name:
Gold: Gold: etc. So you want to files with a name of piggy and snake "name: piggy GOLD name: Snake.
I hope it's this that you wanted, otherwise, after return.

Search for strings of text using javascript
There are some tutorials on this subject, but none seems to help me find specific text.
Imagine the text above is part of a paragraph in a pdf document. I want to find the wordssubject ', 'appear ' & 'specific '.
The idea then is to use a Automator workflow that will copy the file into a hot folder, open in acrobat, find the text, highlight it with another javascript I have and then move it to a folder 'full'.
I had much rather create an action to find the text and highlight it, but you can't import Acrobat action in Automator!
Any advice would be appreciated, because I'm stuck!
Cheers in advance
To search for specific words in a file, you need to loop through all the pages of
the file, and then on the words on each page, then compare the words to your
list of "target".
However, you cannot use Acrobat as part of a workflow like you
Describes.
