That's quite more complex. The options are either to search the page word by word, and when you encounter the first word in the phrase use a counter to see if the next words after that are a match as well, or to collect the entire page text into a single string and then search for the phrase within that string. The latter might be better in your case because you don't really care about the location of the search term in the page, you just want to know if it's there or not, as far as I can tell. ...

Those numbers are actually called "Page Labels", and indeed they can't be used in the Header/Footer command of Acrobat. However, you can add them using a script, like this one I've developed, which is a more advanced version of the built-in command: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat/Reader -- Advanced Add Header/Footer Text ...

Generally speaking, Acrobat is not meant to be used as a command-line tool. Basically all you can do from the command line is to open a file and/or print it. That's it. ... View more

JS can do a lot of things that the built-in commands can't, and is more flexible in doing so, but the reverse is also true. The trick is to select the right kind of command for the task... But that is something you learn the more you do it. There's no clear guide on what's the best command to use, because it depends a lot on what you want to achieve. ... View more

- Are the words that you're searching for just single words, or do you mean that you want to search for a phrase? If they are just single words then you can create a complex if-statement, something like this: var word = this.getPageNthWord(p, n); if (word == "WORD1" || word == "WORD2" || word == "WORD3" || word == "WORD4" || word == "WORD5") {     // add current and previous pages to the list of pages to delete } - I recommend you use an array where you hold all the page numbers to be deleted and then use a separate loop (again from the last page to the first one!), where you delete all the pages from that array. Also, to make your code more efficient I recommend that when you encounter one of the words you're searching for you stop the internal loop and decrease the value of i by 1, to skip the next (ie, previous) page, because there's no point in searching it if you already know you're going to delete it, is there? ...

If the form was set up correctly this would not have happened. It's the fault of the form's authors. There's nothing you can do about it to fix it using the free Reader. As Bernd said, inform the authors of the form of this issue. They need to fix it on their end. ... View more

You need to realize that Acrobat is not the same kind of application as Word, although many people make that mistake. Acrobat is not a word processing application. It's more of an authoring tool that creates PDF files from other formats and then allows for some editing of them, like adding form fields, comments, etc. Editing the static contents of PDF files should be avoided as much as possible. If you want to do that then go back to the original file format, edit it, and then generate a new PDF from it. ... View more

It works fine for me... Are you sure that the file-path of the image file is correct? To verify it I recommend you open that file (in Acrobat) and then run this code from the JS Console: this.path It will print out the file's path in the syntax that you should use in your code. ... View more

Sure.

This can be achieved using a script. Basically you would need to convert the date string the user enters into the first field into a Date object and then add 1, 2, 3, etc. days to it, and output it back as a string to the other fields. If you don't wish to mess around with the code that does it I've developed a tool that allows you to easily set up such calculations.
