This is my first time using Actions in Adobe Pro. I would like to..
The following code was found online and addresses #1 but extracts pages based on 1 string, I was not able to get it to work and I would also prefer to run through multiple strings and delete the pages.
// Iterates over all pages and find a given string and extracts all
// pages on which that string is found to a new file.
var pageArray = [];
var stringToSearchFor = "Total";
for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++) {
// iterate over all words
for (var n = 0; n < this.getPageNumWords(p); n++) {
if (this.getPageNthWord(p, n) == stringToSearchFor) {
pageArray.push(p);
break;
}
}
}
if (pageArray.length > 0) {
// extract all pages that contain the string into a new document
var d = app.newDoc(); // this will add a blank page - we need to remove that once we are done
for (var n = 0; n < pageArray.length; n++) {
d.insertPages( {
nPage: d.numPages-1,
cPath: this.path,
nStart: pageArray[n],
nEnd: pageArray[n],
} );
}
// remove the first page
d.deletePages(0);
}
one-word:
for (var p=this.numPages-1; p>=0; p--) {
if (this.numPages==1) break;
for (var n=0; n<this.getPageNumWords(p)-1; n++) {
if (this.getPageNthWord(p, n) == "one-word") {
this.deletePages(p);
break;
}
}
}
two-word:
for (var p=this.numPages-1; p>=0; p--) {
if (this.numPages==1) break;
for (var n=0; n<this.getPageNumWords(p)-1; n++) {
if (this.getPageNthWord(p, n) == "1st-word" && this.getPageNthWord(p, n+1) == "2nd-word") {
this.deletePages(p);
break;
}
}
}
