I'm trying to use a function of Acrobat 4's scripting capability that allows
it to search a PDF for a particular text string. I believe that something
like this should work:
tell application "Acrobat 4.0"
open alias "Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:Form.pdf"
find text string "UK"
end tell
However, I get the following error when the "find text string" command
executes but only when I try to search for more than just one character
(i.e. find text string "U" works!).
--> Acrobat 4.0 got an error: ng not found.
Since I need to search for a complete word this isn't helpful!
Anyone got any experience of using this or suggestions?
Thanks.
Guy
