[madhusudhananc]

Hello Guys i tried my level best to add my code to add in tool bar. I cant succeed. I am beginner so i unable to grasp some complicated technical terms. Anyone please add the folder scripting code to run my existing code. Below code is i am using in Acrobat 11 but now i want to do it in acrobat 9 tool bar. Please help.

// pages on which that string is found to a new file.
var pageArray = [];
var stringToSearchFor = "SHEET";
for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++) {
    // iterate over all words
    for (var n = 0; n < this.getPageNumWords(p); n++) {
        if (this.getPageNthWord(p, n) == stringToSearchFor) {
            pageArray.push(p);
            break;
        }
    }
}
if (pageArray.length > 0) {
    // extract all pages that contain the string into a new document
    var d = app.newDoc();    
// this will add a blank page - we need to remove that once we are done
    for (var n = 0; n < pageArray.length; n++) {
        d.insertPages( {
            nPage: d.numPages-1,
            cPath: this.path,
            nStart: pageArray,
            nEnd: pageArray,
        } );
    }
    // remove the first page
    d.deletePages(0);
   var annots=d.getAnnots();
    for (i in annots) annots.destroy();
// Save the new document:
var myDocPath = this.path;
var aPathComps = myDocPath.split("/"); 
var myFilename = aPathComps[aPathComps.length-2]; // Last element
d.saveAs("/c/QC Tool/Art Pages/"+ myFilename+".xlsx", "com.adobe.acrobat.xlsx");
d.closeDoc(true);  
}

Try  this Test.txt - Google Drive

I downloaded the file, renamed it to "Test.js", placed it in the JavaScripts folder and it worked just fine.

What is this error

GeneralError: Operation failed.

App.addToolButton:6:Folder-Level:User:test.js

The name for the toolbutton must be unique

NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.

App.newDoc:9:App MyScript1:Exec

[try67]

The first one means you have tried to add multiple tool-buttons with the same cName value.

The second one means you're trying to use a function from a normal context, while it requires a privileged one.

[madhusudhananc]

First error solved. Second one how to solve?

Hello Try, Since it shows error for newdoc i added privileged code, but now it is showing error for trusted function.

NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.

App.trustedFunction:28:App MyScript1:Exec

myTrustedNewDoc = app.trustedFunction( function (nPage, cPath, nStart, nEnd)
{
app.beginPriv();
var myTrustedRetn = app.newDoc();
app.endPriv();
return myTrustedRetn;
});
    // extract all pages that contain the string into a new document
    var d = app.newDoc();    
// this will add a blank page - we need to remove that once we are done
    for (var n = 0; n < pageArray.length; n++) {
        d.insertPages( {
            nPage: d.numPages-1,
            cPath: this.path,
            nStart: pageArray,
            nEnd: pageArray,
        } );
    }

Convert the whole function extractSheetPages in a trusted function.

[try67]

You created a trusted function but you're not using it... Instead of this:

var d = app.newDoc();

Use:

var d = myTrustedNewDoc();

And remove the input parameters for it. You're not using them, anyway.

Hello Try i am giving up. i cant make it happen. Could you please add those few line of codes in my codes.

[try67]

If you'd like me to write your code for you you can contact me at try6767 at gmail.com to discuss it further, including the price.

[madhusudhananc]

Hello Try, I finally made it. Thanks for your guidance and support.

[Bernd Alheit]

Do you use addToolButton in another JavaScript file?

I take it back, you're correct. That worked. However, it seems like a real hassle when one can simply use the pre-existing app folder...

This is possible when you can create files in this folder.

[Karl Heinz Kremer]

Bernd is correct, this error shows up when you don't have a user level folder. Are you sure you are creating it in the correct location? Starting with Acrobat 10, you need to add the "Privileged" folder to the path.

Hello Try, I did exactly what you instructed. I got the Toolbar but the code is not running.

[madhusudhananc]

Ok Try, thank you very much.
