RE: [PDFdev] can i organize my pdf documents

[Mark Storer]

Acrobat 6 has an "export comments to word..." file menu item.  You could call it from script.  When I tried it just now it told me that "this operation requires word 2002 to be installed on your system".    Bah!  Humbug...   In acrobat 5, the file->export->comments function will do basically the same thing, but will export an FDF (not requiring someone elses tech is always nice).  FDF's are pretty simple to parse... crack it open in the text editor of your choice, you'll see.   The code-your-own-plugin method is quite possible, if non-trivial.   for each page: 1) Located the highlight regoins 2) Find all the text entirely under on of those regions.  I understand that the word-finder has undergone a major overhaul in the acrobat 6. 3) Export that text in whatever format you like.     --Mark Storer   Software Engineer   Cardiff Software #include <disclaimer> typdef std::disclaimer<Cardiff> Discard; -----Original Message----- From: Abbey Landis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 7:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PDFdev] can i organize my pdf documents Hello All thank you for reading this question:   If I wanted to take a certain number of pdf doucments which I have highlighted (using the adobe highlighter feature) and export that data into a file (text, spreadsheet, etc) can this be done?   Will this be complicated/hard?   Thanks, Abbey Landis Ps: for some reason, the email i registered with ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is stating my email box is full. Don't know why, but if you do experience that, can you then try sending the answer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead. Again, thanks.
