Javascript Search for Text within a PDF

// 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 = "page\s1\sof\s1";

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;

        }

    }

}

console.println

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);

}

Was the that okay for inserting console.println?

Have you tired to see what your search script is finding and testing by adding a "console.println" to display the word found as the script searches the page?

As I understand "this.getPageNthWord(p, n)" returns the "n"th word on the "p" page. It appears you are looking for the four words "Page", "1", "of", "1". In my experience you need to search for all for words including the 3 word separating spaces between the words. Please review the Acrobat JavaScript documentation for "getPageNthWord" method.
