js support

Hello,

Can we write javascript to access pdf contents?

Hello Bob,

1. You should be able to write your own script that will search for a string, and if found put a highlight annotation object over it.
Please take a look at this file:
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/ ... erence.pdf
And the getPageNthWord, and getPageNthWordQuads (so that you can get all the words on a page, and if a given word matches your criteria get it's coordinates and place a highlight annotation over it).

2. I will need to ask our devs for some details on the logic used for "search in same paragraph", but that might not be available fro you via JS.

3. I doubt this is possible with JS at all.

Regards,
Stefan

Stefan,

Also can we add shortcut keys in "customize toolbar" to specific javascript embedded in the file or in some folder?

Hello Bob,

No I do not believe this is possible with the end user product.
Also given your use case - I believe our Editor SDK will better suit your needs and give you much more control over the whole process:

What version of Adobe javascript spec does my Editor 5.5, Build 313.1 support?

[Will - Tracker Supp]

Hi Bob,

Offhand, I'm not sure what Version of the Adobe JS API we support, or what functions from it and would need to ask the Dev. Team for confirmation. However, 313.1 is an old build and I would recommend downloading and testing build 315 to see if this was an issue with older releases, or if support for this function was implemented later:

Is there any plan to improve the js engine?

Hi Bob,

Seems like there are two topics with duplicate discussion on them. Let's keep it at one place, so do tell us which of the two forum threads we shall continue in?

Cheers,
Stefan

[bob_sun]

OK Bob,

Already done -
So lets not post in this one any more and continue the discussion there!

Cheers,
Stefan
