Hi,
Here is a "simple" script that should suit your request.
var searchedText="expressions";
var linkPage=37; // Absolute
for (var p=0; p<this.numPages; p++) {
var nbWords=this.getPageNumWords(p);
for (var i=0; i<nbWords-1; i++) {
if (this.getPageNthWord(p,i,true)==searchedText) {
var q=this.getPageNthWordQuads(p,i);
var m=(new Matrix2D).fromRotated(this,p);
var mInv=m.invert();
var r=mInv.transform(q);
var r=r.toString();
var r=r.split(",");
var f=this.addField(searchedText+"Bt","button",p,[Number(r[0]),Number(r[1]),Number(r[6]),Number(r[7])]);
f.fillColor=color.transparent;
f.userName="Link on page "+linkPage;
f.setAction("MouseUp", "this.pageNum="+(linkPage-1)+";");
}
}
}
But the processing time for word recognition depends on the number of pages and the number of words per page and can be very long. I remember some years ago do approximately the same script and that took more than 12 hours for a 1500-page document. So, it is therefore important to display the progress of the process in order to check where it is and if Acrobat doesn't crash. For the example I did:
Here is the script:
console.show();
console.clear();
d0=new Date();
debut=util.printd("dd-mm HH:MM",d0);
laDate=util.printd("dd-mm-yy",d0);
var searchedText="expressions";
var linkPage=37; // Absolute
var nbFound=0;
var wordsInBook=0;
for (var p=0; p<this.numPages; p++) {
var nb=0;
var nbWords=this.getPageNumWords(p);
for (var i=0; i<nbWords-1; i++) {
wordsInBook++;
console.clear();
console.println("Process Starting: "+debut);
console.println("––––––––––––––");
console.println(nb+" word(s) found on page #"+(p+1)+", "+nbFound+" word(s) in total.");
if (this.getPageNthWord(p,i,true)==searchedText) {
var q=this.getPageNthWordQuads(p,i);
var m=(new Matrix2D).fromRotated(this,p);
var mInv=m.invert();
var r=mInv.transform(q);
var r=r.toString();
var r=r.split(",");
var f=this.addField(searchedText+"Bt","button",p,[Number(r[0]),Number(r[1]),Number(r[6]),Number(r[7])]);
f.fillColor=color.transparent;
f.userName="Link on page "+linkPage;
f.setAction("MouseUp", "this.pageNum="+(linkPage-1)+";");
nbFound++;
nb++;
}
}
}
df=new Date();
fin=util.printd("dd-mm HH:MM",df);
temps=(df.valueOf()-d0.valueOf())/1000/60;
var lesMinutes=parseInt(temps);
var lesSecondes=(temps-lesMinutes)*60;
var lesSecondes=parseInt(lesSecondes*10)/10;
var leTemps="";
if (lesMinutes>0) {
if (lesMinutes==1) {
var leTemps="1 minute";
} else {
var leTemps=lesMinutes+" minutes";
}
}
if (lesSecondes>0) {
if (lesSecondes<2) {
var leTemps=leTemps+" "+lesSecondes+" second"
} else {
var leTemps=leTemps+" "+lesSecondes+" seconds"
}
}
var leTemps=leTemps.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/gm,"");
console.clear();
console.println("Process Starting: "+debut);
console.println("Process Ending: "+fin);
console.println("––––––––––––––");
console.println("Process Duration: "+leTemps);
console.println(nbFound+" word(s) found on the "+this.numPages+" pages with a total of "+wordsInBook+" words.");
Of course, this script can be improved according to your real needs.
Let me know.
