Hello.
I'm really newbie in this theme. But I'm trying to run this script but don't why Is not working as expected:
Use case:
Appear a box that I can insert a list of words to be searched in the PDF File like this
Test,Apple,Banana
Most search for each word indenpendently and if it encounters should appear the list box in order to perform different scenarios depending on the user choice.
Problem:
This scenarios are not working as expected it is not ending the function as it should be
// If cResponse = "" and Ok button pressed appear app.alert "Please insert the words to be searched"
// If cResponse <> "" and Ok button pressed execute app.execDialog(dialog3);
// If cResponse <> and Cancel button pressed exit the function
// If cResponse = "" and Cancel button pressed exit the function
And also this options are not working
// Extract all pages together (+1 option selected and user select Ok) to the path of the original file with name: Original file_word searched
// Extract all pages together but separately regarding each word (+2 option selected and user select Ok) to the path of the original file with name: Original file_word searched
//Extract first page (+3 option selected and user select Ok) to the path of the original file with name: Original file_word searched
function searchAndExtract() {
// Get the current document
var currentDoc = this;
// Get the user's input from the response prompt
var cResponse = app.response({
cQuestion: "Please specify the word(s) that you would like to search for.",
cTitle: "Search word(s) and extract page(s)",
type: "ok_cancel",
ok_name: "Ok",
cancel_name: "Cancel"
});
// Check if the Ok button was pressed and the user entered a search query
if (cResponse && cResponse.length > 0) {
var dialogResult = app.execDialog(dialog3);
// Check if the Ok button was pressed in the sub-dialog and a valid option was selected
if (dialogResult === "ok" && dialog3.store()["subl"] !== undefined) {
extractPages(currentDoc, cResponse, dialog3.store()["subl"]);
} else {
// If the sub-dialog was cancelled or an invalid option was selected, show an alert and end the function
app.alert("Please select a valid option");
return;
}
} else if (cResponse === "") {
// Show an alert if the user did not enter anything and end the function
app.alert("Please insert the words to be searched");
return;
}
}
function extractPages(doc, searchTerm, subType) {
// Find all the pages that contain the search term
