I work with pdfs on a daily basis that contain the text OCA/<12 character text>. I'm hoping to obtain Acrobat Javascript code that will copy the 12 character text that follows OCA/ and "Save As" the found 12 character text + the word "MISC" (i.e. X--XXXXXXXXX MISC). I should mention the 12 characters always include the two hyphens in space 2 and 3 from the left (not sure if that matters) and OCA/ is never in the same area of the page however will always be found on the first page. I've learned from other forums that this possibly involves using the getPageNthWord method and folder level javascript files stored in the Acrobat JavaScript folder. Your script is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance. A visual is linked here: Example of text to be found / copied / save as

  • Thank you K J. It is indeed a continuous block of text that would cut and paste as you wrote with no spaces, breaks, or wrapping. I appreciate your idea. Is there a chance you could offer code that may accomplish the method you suggest? My goal is to automate the task connecting the code to a menu button or Custom Action in Acrobat. Much appreciated! – dpoag Nov 11 '21 at 00:40
  • Thank you K J. Although I don’t understand your reply I do appreciate the suggestions. This at least gives me some feedback. I may repost if I get a better idea from other pros. I’m not giving up on this, LOL. Thank you! – dpoag Nov 11 '21 at 21:53
