Javascript to Invoke Command

[RohitSri]

Hi All,

I am trying to automate the redaction piece in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. I have used Annotation methods to find and apply quads to redact text but the solution doesn't fit the complexed requirements.
What I do see is an option "Find Text & Redact" which opens a search window. I can find all the redactable text there and then mark for redact whole/partially.
The challenge I have is I can use "Annots:Tool:Redact:EditMenu" to open the Redact tool bar but I am unable to go one step further to invoke "Find Text & Redact".
I am using Blueprism for automation and Clicking this button will mean using Region mode which is not reliable in Acrobat.
Please help me with the command to invoke the search window.

Thanks

You can't invoke this with Acrobat Javascript.

Is there any other solution?

As I see another menu item "FindSearch" that gets that window open but without redaction function.

Use your first approach.

What do you mean by first approach?

Search the document's text (using getPageNthWord), find the matches for the text you want to remove (using getPageNthWordQuads), create Redaction annotations over them (using addAnnot), and then apply those redactions (using applyRedactions).
