Find, Highlight, and Extract Words

Hi Adobe

I am using this 3-step guided Action to search for words or phrases in a set of PDF files. Whenever it encounters a file that has font/structure discrepancies, the script throws out a "Processing error" and abort the action. Any chance I can get the script to carry on, and just register in the summary that there's an error with that particular file, instead of starting all over?

Really appreciate any help here!

Yours,

Oct

This may not be possible. Have you identified the source of the "Processing Error" as the script?  The first part of the Action is a redaction search. It's possible the error is in this search. If it is the script I'd be happy to update it for a fee. I wrote this action several years ago.
