![]() Here is a link to a script that shows how to extracts SSNs from a page text: Acrobat Javascript Samples Scripts. In this case, all words need to be enumerated using this.getPageNthWord() method and the resulting text string can be searched using a regular expression. Then there is no need to measure text coordinates and text can be extracted by performing a text search. The similar script can be used if the text of interest conforms to a well-defined text pattern (such as SSN, account number, client ID, email and etc.). Can be a very slow process if there is a lot of text and a lot of files involved. If new documents with a different layout are used, then the script needs to be edited with new coordinates.ģ. Coordinates for the text needs to be measured manually.Ģ. Once done enumerating the words, save the file using this.SaveAs() method while combining a predefined output path with the extracted text.ġ. If the word lies inside an "area of interest", add it to the output text string.ĥ. Quads are returned in the page coordinate system (user space, origin is in bottom-left corner), while coordinates on screen are measured in screen coordinate system (device space, origin is in upper-left corner, y-axis is pointing down).Ĥ. Complication: it is necessary to take page rotation and difference in coordinate systems into account when checking each quad. ![]() Check each "quad" returned by the function against the area(s) of interest (determined manually in step 1). In JavaScript code, enumerate all words on the page using this.getPageNthWordQuads() method that returns coordinates for each word as an array of coordinates.ģ. If there are multiple areas, measure each one and record the coordinates.Ģ. First, use a ruler/grid tool (Use Ctrl U and Ctrl R keyboard shortcuts to toggle the tools on/off) to determine the coordinates on the page where the "text of interest" is located. ::Note that exclamation marks must not occur within the given string.If it is necessary to extract text from a specific location on a page in order to use it in the output file name, then the algorithm is as follows:ġ. ![]() ::This function splits off the last `_`-separated item of a string. ![]() :GET_LAST_ITEM rtn_last rtn_without_last val_string Rem // Enable delayed expansion to be able to read the variables: Rem // Call sub-routine that removes the last `_`-separated part: Rem // Store current file name and extension: Setlocal EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansionįor /F "delims= eol=|" %%F in ('dir /B /A:-D "%_SOURCE%\%_MASK%"') do ( Note that this fails in case any of the files contains exclamation marks ! in their names. Here is a modified script that I posted in another answer, relying on a nice hack to remove the last portion of a string separated by a certain character – the underscore _ in this case. The last string assigned to %%b will be _laststring.ext, so the value assigned to newname will fit the processing requirement, so rename the file. Use a simple for to assign newname to the original filename with the _string removed (replaced by nothing) and add back the extension using %%~xa. ![]() WIth each name found, using delayed expansion, assign the name to filename and then replace each _ with Space_ Perform a directory scan of all filenames matching the mask. After you've verified that the commands are correct, change ECHO(REN to REN to actually rename the files. The required REN commands are merely ECHOed for testing purposes. You would need to change the setting of sourcedir to suit your circumstances. FOR %%b IN (!partsname!) DO SET "newname=!filename:%%b=!%%~xa" ![]()
