Extract text from a group of regions to CSV
Hello, I need to create drawing indexes for a set that contains over 1000 drawings. I am able to do this with BlueBeam by creating Bookmarks. But some of our subs don't use BB so I am wondering if it is possible with Acrobat to extract text from a group of regions on each page to a CSV file.
The BlueBeam workflow is as follows:
Create Bookmarks that concatinate a series of selected regions from a page

By drawing separate boxes around the Drawing No, Revision No and Dwg Title (placing a colon btwn each) I can assemble a bookmark that contains these 3 pieces of information.

The result is a list of bookmarks that has extracted the text information from those same 3 regions for the entire set of dwgs.

This list can then be exported to a CSV file

Using the excel import wizard this info can be placed into a table for easy manipulation.


So, my hope is that Acrobat/Pro can extract the text info from each pdf page and assemble it in excel in a similar fashion.
