Question

Action Wizard Java Script that I have used for many years stopped working - "Not Responding"

I have used khconsulting's “Extract PDF Pages Based on Content” Action Wizard java script for several years.  I modified the script to repeat 45 times because I extract 45 different sort codes.  When it was working, the process took approximately 15 minutes to complete. The last time the Action Wizard worked was February 2, 2024. When I attempted to use the Action Wizard on March 1, it froze with the message “Not Responding”. My Acrobat Pro version is 2023.008.20470 64-bit. I have googled and searched the Adobe forums, with no working solution. A word copy of my Action Wizard javascript is attached, along with a pdf file to apply it against. Any assistance you can provide will be appreciated.

    So is Acrobat locking up?  If not, then what is the exact failure?

    What debug have you done? For example, did you cut the script down to just one code section?

    Thank you for your reply.  The action creates one file and hangs "not responding".  Yes, I tested the script with just one code section, and it still hangs "not responding".  Tried running from java console, but the console hangs "not responding".  No issues using this for many years.  Then this happened March 1 (I run the action wizard once per month).  I use this same action on a smaller file; same thing, but it created 3 files and then hangs "not responding".

    Thom, I have to leave the office for today.  Is it possible for you to provide me with your direct contact information so that I can follow up with you on Monday, March 25?
