Javascript for searching in specific pages

[eimertb75808819]

I'm searching for a javascript that is searching for a word in pages 18 to 23 of an document. I'now ysing the javascript:

var textToSearch = app.response("Enter the search term:");

if (textToSearch!="") search.query(textToSearch, "ActiveDoc");

But that is searching the whole document.

Only if you use the getPageNthWord method of the document object and build your own function to search for a phrase.

This could be quit slow since it will not use any index.

Another option is to extract those pages as a new file and then search them.

This will only work in Acrobat, of course.
