How can extract all image by Javascipt?

[daitranthanhoa]

I can extract all image by menu of Acrobat:Tools >> Document Processing >> Export All Images.

But i want call this function from my app.

Can call action from javascript or extract all image by Javascipt?

You can simulate pressing that button using JS, but it would still require user input to complete the project.

JS can't extract the images from a PDF on its own.

You can try the export as HTML with the method saveAs.

[daitranthanhoa]

Can i save as html by script or COM?

[Bernd Alheit]

Use the JavaScript method saveAs.

[daitranthanhoa]

If i call this script: this.saveAs("/c/tmp/myDoc.html", "com.adobe.acrobat.html"); from Acrobat, It saved ok.

But If i call script from other Application, It can't saveAs.:

          Dim AForm = CreateObject("AFormAut.App")

          Dim test = "this.saveAs(""/c/tmp/myDoc.html"", ""com.adobe.acrobat.html"");"

          Dim b = AForm.Fields.ExecuteThisJavaScript(test)

Console messages?

[daitranthanhoa]

message is: undefined, but i check result output ok.

Complete messages please, please copy/paste. The exact details matter. please make sure the messages come from running the external script NOT from your typed in commands (for which undefined is a normal response).

i run from JavaScript Debugger:

this.saveAs("/c/tmp/myDoc.html","com.adobe.acrobat.html"); -> Press Ctrl+enter

undefined

If i run from Vb.net:

Dim AForm = CreateObject("AFormAut.App")

Dim test = "this.saveAs(""/c/tmp/myDoc.html"", ""com.adobe.acrobat.html"");"

Dim b = AForm.Fields.ExecuteThisJavaScript(test)

not show message.

[try67]

"undefined" just means the code executed without errors or returning any

values.

You wrote "But If i call script from other Application, It can't saveAs.:"  What exactly do you mean by "can't"?

[daitranthanhoa]

If i run from Vb.net:

Dim AForm = CreateObject("AFormAut.App")

Dim test = "this.saveAs(""/c/tmp/myDoc.html"", ""com.adobe.acrobat.html"");"

Dim b = AForm.Fields.ExecuteThisJavaScript(test)

not show any message.

But result not output, have not file html, image.

Ok, so the code appears to run, but it does not have the expected result.

Have you confirmed that other code is being run correctly if you use this ExecuteThisJavaScript method? A simple test is to run an app.alert in your code. For example

Dim test = "app.alert(""BEFORE""); <my code to try>; app.alert(""AFTER"")" ...

[daitranthanhoa]

try this code:

Dim test = "app.alert(""BEFORE""); this.saveAs(""/c/tmp/myDoc.html"", ""com.adobe.acrobat.html""); app.alert(""AFTER"")"

Dim b b = AForm.Fields.ExecuteThisJavaScript(test)

Result only show message: "BEFORE"

Where are you opening the PDF file that you want to convert?

[daitranthanhoa]

   Dim oDoc As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")

   oDoc.Open("D:\1.ATTS_Next\DataTest\test1.pdf")

I try this script, it working ok:

Dim ex = " // set annot for text selection " & vbLf _

                            & "var sqannot = this.addAnnot({type: ""Square"", page: " & iPage & ", " & vbLf _

                            & "rect: [" & rect.left & ", " & rect.top & ", " & rect.right & ", " & rect.bottom & "], " & vbLf _

                            & "name: ""p" & iPage & "i" & i & """});"

You can use a try-catch-construct:

try {

... your code ...

} catch(e) {

for (var i in e) console.println( i + ': ' + e);

}
