Doc is not defined

Question

Hello,
I am submitting a string of numbers delimited with commas from a form to be utilized by a JavaScript function.
Here is the string of number I am submitting:
7.4%,0.1%,0.4%,9.7%,53.1%,0.5%,15.5%,4.8%,1.6%,5.7%,1.0%
Here is the function:
function searchArray(doc, arrStr, startPage, endPage) {
var arr = arrStr.replace(/\s/g,"").split(",");
if (startPage==-1) startPage = 0;
if (endPage==-1) endPage = doc.numPages-1;
var results = [];
for (var i in arr) results.push(false);
pagesLoop:
for (var p=startPage; p<=endPage; p++) {
  var numWords = doc.getPageNumWords(p);
  for (var i=0; i<numWords; i++) {
   var word = trim2(doc.getPageNthWord(p,i,false));
   var matchIndex = arr.indexOf(word);
   if (matchIndex!=-1) {
    if (results[matchIndex]==false) {
     results[matchIndex] = true;
     var allFound = true;
     for (var j in results) {
      if (results[j]==false) {
       allFound = false;
       break;
     if (allFound) break pagesLoop;
return results;
function trim2(s) {
  if (typeof s != "string") return s;
  return s.replace(/^\s+/,"").replace(/\s+$/,"");
Here is the code that makes the button under "Add-On Tools":
app.addToolButton({ cName: "LnchSrchPM", cLabel: "EMB-PM to BO Compare", cTooltext: "EMB-PM to BO Compare",
cExec: "lnchSrchPM(false)", cEnable: "event.rc = (event.target!=null)"});
Here is the function that takes the string of numbers and sends it to the searchArray function:
function subSrchValPM() {
var searchThis = " ";
searchThis = this.getField(1).valueAsString;
console.println(searchThis);
All I want to do at this point is to make the string of numbers that I am submitting appear in the debugging console.
I can't seem to do that.
I get the following error message:
doc is not defined
25:AcroForm:SubmitButton:Annot1:MouseUp:Action1Exception in line 25 of function subSrchValPM, script 0
Line 25 is the following:
searchThis = this.getField(1).valueAsString;
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!

I have added the following three lines of code...
  console.println(p);
  console.println(i);
  console.println(word);
right before this line to see what values I was getting.
  var word = trim3(doc.getPageNthWord(p,i,false));
I got the following results in the debugging console:

TypeError: Invalid argument type.
Doc.getPageNumWords:188:Field SubmitButton:Mouse Up
===> Parameter nPage.
I did notice that when submitted, the form does not go away and it looks like the script does not get to search the actual document.
It appears that the script searches the form.  When I looked for the value of the variable "word", it was actually picking up the words on the form such as EMB, PM, to, B., O., Compare, SUBMIT,  and all the numbers in the text field of the form.
Something is preventing the form from submitting properly and this is causing the script to not work.
Please tell me how I can send you a copy of my form so that you can look at it.
Thanks
Linda
