Search text and create link to another PDF

Hi all

I need to know if the following is possible with Javascript or VBA...

-Open a PDF file

-Find all text that starts with a specific set of characters (let's say in this case 1 M-')

-For each found text, select the whole word (not just 1) - and...

-Highlight or change its color

-create a link to another PDF file. (the other PDF will have the name of the selected text).

-Save the PDF file and close it.

I've already started using VBA, but I'm not an "expert" Programmer

Thank you

Marc

No, it can be done with pure JavaScript that runs inside Acrobat NOT in an HTML page (for security reasons).  He has not, however, being in a PDF file - you do it in a "batch" in Acrobat.

    You can use Acrobat Pro to combine multiple PDFs into a single PDF.

    You may be able to use Acrobat Standard as well - not sure.

    In my view, there is also a the Adobe online subscription service hosts that combine multiple PDFs into a single PDF.

    As for search. To make available content of every PDF should be text with a font mapping of characters of the regular police having families (each character we see ("glyph") represents a specific numerical value, which is held in the file under the hood) which in turn has a correct mapping to Unicode.  If there are pages that are the output of text parser image then make sure you use OCR to get the result of the OCR to support search/search.

    With all the 'one' PDF support find simple. Using Acrobat Pro, you can embed a search Index. This is a simple step. For full service advanced search use Acrobat Pro to create a stand alone catalogue Index (see the help file).

  • I just upgraded to Acrobat Reader DC and I am unable to take a snapshot of a PDF and paste it on another PDF file

    I just upgraded to Acrobat Reader DC and I am unable to take a snapshot of a PDF and paste it on another PDF file, I have to paste in word and then to the PDF, it becomes blurry this way and also has a lot of text in blue instead of black in the picture.  Is there a way I can copy a PDF file and paste it on another PDF file?

    Or is there a way of reversing this adobe to the previous version?

    The files are not locked or the other and I tried the guide help without success.

    Hi olir74691516,

    Everything sticking the snapshot of one PDF on the other we add a layer to the PDF document that you paste the snapshot. You cannot copy & paste in the player of free application, you will need Acrobat application for her.

  • Allow to comment and create links from URLS (JS, Acrobat Pro)

    I need to change the parameters of the PDF format to enable comments and Annotation, and then create links to the URL of the document.  I can do it manually, but I don't see where these properties can be adjusted with Javascript.

    Help, please!

    None of these measures can be done with JS.

    Well, you can convert URLS into links, but it requires a complex script.

  • get list from a SQL database and create links to each lines in AS3

    I'm doing an AIR application with these conditions:

    I have a SQL database. In my table, there is a column 'categories' (with different categories (computer, books... etc.)).

    enter image description here

    In my AS3, I managed to recover "theDescription" when the user select a category. With the URLMethod and a php file.

       // create SQL $sql = "SELECT * FROM annonces where categorie = '$categorie'";

    $sql_result = mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die ("Couldn't execute query.");

    $num = mysql_numrows($sql_result); $phptheDescription = "";

    $counter = 0;

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) {

    $theDescription = $row["theDescription"];

    $phptheDescription = $theDescription;

    }

    echo  "phptheDescription=" . $theDescription;

    So my AS3 code retrieves the $phptheDescription since php and displays in a output_txt .

    Problem: in my output_txt , a 'theDescription"appears. But I have TWO Articles in the category 'Computers' (and I have 100 points in the same categories).

    How do I show all the "theDescription' that are in the same categories?

    Ex: If I choose "Computer", it should display "a Surface Pro 3" and "An IMAC". But it only shows the last element "IMAC".

    And, after that, it is possible to create "links" for each item posted?

    Hi-I've never used PHP so I could be wrong here - but it seems to me you're a loop in the records, each time as reset $theDescription to all that is in the current (rather than accumulate output) record. If you are effctively echo only the last record in the query.

    I think you should be either running the command echo inside your loop, or alternatively the concatenation of a string inside the loop and then echoing the end of the loop?

    I would be likely to generate XML data in PHP (just by concatenating strings) and then use it in my AS3 code.

    These features are not available on the Adobe Acrobat Reader Mobile application.

    You can do this by using Adobe Acrobat DC desktop application.

  • Cannot open a PDF file from a link in another PDF file

    Hello, I'm having a strange problem on some of adobe readers my users. (2 users on PC windows 8.1)

    I created a "choser app' (see image below) which is essentially a 'choser from one easy page" for the different "forms", I created which worked perfectly until this week. Basically, there are 12 buttons and when the user press one of these buttons, the form chosen live / app opens that they can then fill out and send required title.

    However the 2 users who have problems, cannot open forms at all. They click on the button, but nothing happens at all. Software Adobe reader fits all just not as there are links to all.

    Choser 'app' works on all my PC users except 2, so I know it isn't an error in location or make updates etc... Someone at - it clues or ideas.

    I tried to go into preferences - manager of trust - internet access from PDF files - change the settings - PDF allow to access Web sites... but this made no difference to all the.

    Thank you

    Sara

    is not serious I fixed it. If anyone else is having the same problem, so I fixed it by doing the following:

    Enhanced - Security Edition-Preferences

    Uncheck "enable protected at startup mode" - restart adobe reader software

    Oddly, I had not to uncheck it on any of my other PC users (Windows 7 & 8.1), but was necessary for some reason any on those trouble with opening PDF links from the 'app PDF selector.

  • Editing text and adding links is crazy in DW CC - 20141

    Getting evidence of editing text requires TWO clicks to put the framework encompassing from blue to orange. I can't highlight and delete the text in several paragraphs (leaving a few boilerplate words at the beginning or a few words at the end). And the text keeps coming back to modify code (rectangle encompassing blue).

    In text edit mode, to add a link, I can no longer look at the properties panel and stretch the "pointer" to a file in the files Panel. The properties panel is grayed out. Yes, a link appears in a heads up/pop-up, but it forces me to go look for the file in file manager.

    These "improvements" are so boring that I come to the Dreamweaver CC to get the work done. These changes go against separating the content of the code, because I can not change my content without dealing with the code. I don't want to have to overcome the UI coding for my text.

    Am I missing something? An option? A Panel? I'm in the workspace CODE. This question seemed worst in the DESIGN workspace. (I use Windows 7 on a PC).

    What can I do to bring my productivity?

    Unfortunately, not missing anything. Adobe dropped the ball a bit and removed fluid Design view grid put forward they fully implemented the design view editing features in the new editor of Live View. They know the problem and are working.

    If you wish, you can go back to the version of June 2014 CC by downloading from these links (rather than go all the way back to CC or CS6)...

    PC: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dreamweaver/win/cc/Dreamweaver_14_LS20.exe

    Mac: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dreamweaver/mac/cc/Dreamweaver_14_LS20.dmg

    There is no date of Adobe Press info on when the next version comes out (never exists, until it is actually released), so everyone is a little in the dark as to where a patch should.
