Hello Guys i tried my level best to add my code to add in tool bar. I cant succeed. I am beginner so i unable to grasp some complicated technical terms. Anyone please add the folder scripting code to run my existing code. Below code is i am using in Acrobat 11 but now i want to do it in acrobat 9 tool bar. Please help.

// pages on which that string is found to a new file.
var pageArray = [];
var stringToSearchFor = "SHEET";
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,
            nEnd: pageArray,
        } );
    }
    // remove the first page
    d.deletePages(0);
   var annots=d.getAnnots();
    for (i in annots) annots.destroy();
// Save the new document:
var myDocPath = this.path;
var aPathComps = myDocPath.split("/"); 
var myFilename = aPathComps[aPathComps.length-2]; // Last element
d.saveAs("/c/QC Tool/Art Pages/"+ myFilename+".xlsx", "com.adobe.acrobat.xlsx");
d.closeDoc(true);  
}

You put your code in a function and then call that function using the cExec method of addToolButton, like this:

app.addToolButton({ cName: "MyScript1", cLabel: "Extract SHEET Pages", cTooltext: "Extract SHEET Pages",
    cExec: "extractSheetPages()", cEnable: "event.rc = (event.target != null);"});
   
function extractSheetPages() {
    // put the rest of your code here
}

Do you have the Acrobat JavaScript API Reference? Did you read the documentation of the addToolButton method?
