Articles Finder with a multi-dimensional array

[ramalingamkb]

Hi Acrobat users,

I need to finds all articles in any pdf document and highlight them as definite or indefinite.

I have written the source code, yet something is not working when I compile it.

Can you help me or clarify me where do I miss? Much appreciated for your time.

Am I making wrong in array or variable declaration?

• app.addToolButton({ cName: "ArticlesCheckFn", cExec: "myArticlesFn()", cLabel: "Articles Check", cTooltext: "Run Articles Check"});
• var myArticlesFn = app.truArticlesdFunction(function()
• {
• var numWords;
• var bfound = false;
• var F = ["a", "an", "the"];
• var R = ["Indefinite article - A", "Indefinite article - AN", "Definite article - THE"];
• var Articles = new Array(F,R);
• var lowerpagelimit = 0;
• var upperpagelimit = this.numPages;
• var proglimit = upperpagelimit - lowerpagelimit;
• var progress = app.thermometer;
• progress.duration = proglimit;
• progress.begin();
• for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++)
• {progress.value = i;
• progress.text = "Processing page " + (i + 1);
• numWords = this.getPageNumWords(i);
• for(var j = 0; j < numWords; j++)
• {for (var k=0;k<4;k++)
• {if (this.getpageNthWord(i,j) == Articles[0])
• {var annot = this.addAnnot ({page: i, type: "Highlight", quads: this.getPageNthWordQuads(i,j), author: "Articles Script", contents: Articles[0]});}}}
• progress.end();
• }});

Any error in the console? What is truArticlesdFunction?

Your indexes are off for the "Articles" array

Change the code to

{if (this.getpageNthWord(i,j) == Articles[0])

{var annot = this.addAnnot ({page: i, type: "Highlight", quads: this.getPageNthWordQuads(i,j), author: "Articles Script", contents: Articles[1]});}}

The first index selects the list of articles or the list of article types. The second index selects the specific entry.
