Extracting pages after a search

[Chip7]

I am looking to search a large (30,000 or so) page document for specific words. I would like to be able to extract these pages into a smaller PDF that is more manageable. Is there a way to quickly select all of the pages that contain the search item to extract them?

I've moved this from the poorly named Community Help forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Acrobat forum so that proper help can be offered.

There isn't any built-in functionality for this, but you can download a couple of free Actions that will help you

The way to do this is to use the redact tool to find and mark the pages you're interested in, but don't do the redact. Instead download the tool at the Actions-Exchange for extracting commented pages. The redaction marks are a kind of comment. 

There is also a tool here to search and extract pages, but you need to be a member to get it.

This is possible, using a script. The results of an Advanced Search can be exported to a CSV file, which can then be used as the input for a script to locate and extract the pages where matches were found as a new file.

I've developed this as a paid-for tool and you can find it here: http://try67.blogspot.com/2011/02/acrobat-print-pages-from-csv-search.html
