How do I select text from multiple pdf pages using Microsoft Document Imaging

Hello. I have scanned 3 pages and saved to pdf, now in Microsoft Document Imaging I can only select text from the first page and cannot select text from the other 2 pages. Is there a way to select multiple pages?
Thank you.

Why don't you ask in a MS forum? This forum is for an Adobe product and I have no idea why you are asking about Microsoft Document Imaging here.

Using browser javascript to copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Air app.

I have posted this question on reader forum as well, but I think it is more suited here...
I am trying to create a note-taking application in air. I want to extract selected text from pdf file as a string object or to the clipboard.
Obviously, all pdfs in my local storage will not be scripted to recieve postMessages and act accordingly, and that is not practical either. So, my problem is, how can I copy the selected text in the pdf file (opened as an object in htmlloader within my Air app) to clipboard or directly in another control by say clicking a button in air application? I suppose, this is possible using javascript, however, I don't know which reader methods are exposed to the wrapper htmlloader control. In short, I want to execute app.execMenuItem("Copy") command through htmlloader javascript. Any alternate solutions are also welcome.
This is similar to passing inbuilt commands/methods/functions (of adobe reader) to pdf-reader plugin embedded in a webpage via javascript. This is possible in IE where the pdf is rendered as activex object, and hence JSObject interface of pdf document/reader is accessible to the browser javascript. I have also read that this same JSObject is accessible to VB as interface for IAC, so as the Air is Adobe's own product, I was wondering if equivalent of JSObject is accessible to htmlloader control as well.
Thanks in advance...

Thank you Thom for your reply...
from
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html
...Through JavaScript extensions, the viewer application and its plug-ins expose much of their functionality to document authors, form designers, and plug-in developers...
As it is explicitly mentioned, that the functionality of adobe reader are exposed for plugin development, I thought someone here might have used external javascript to execute some safe methods in adobe reader. The functionality (i.e. external javascript interface-JSObject) is already available for VB programmers to develop IAC. Further, the Acrobat SDK example called "AcroPDFinHML" shows how one can embed a pdf-reader in a html page and execute some safe methods (like gotonextpage(), zooming etc.) in IE as ActiveX plugin. I have checked it myself for adobe reader 9, and it works perfectly, so there is no security issue as such to implement the same for another browser (like in my case, the htmlloader control in flex/air app).
I intend to create a note taking application in air, where it is very much required that I should be able to copy selected text from various pdf documents, that are open in my app, and subsequently paste/collect/save the collected notes and process them afterwords (offcourse, from the pdfs that allow me copying text). However, it is not happening for me here. As the pdfs are opened through adobe reader plugin, it does not register the copy command executed by my air app. It registers the system level copy command (by keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C), but my air app has no way to execute the system level copy command programmatically. So I am kind of stuck here...
Thanks again for your reply. Having known what am I intend to accomplish, any other (may be alternative) solutions will be appreciated nonetheless...

How can I copy text from a PDF document in bb pbk?

I've tried to copy a text from a PDF document but adobe reader doesn't give me that option. How can I do it? or there is a better reader for PDF that allows to copy, make bookmarks, to highlights?

If the PDF is not an IMAGE, you can using a free program called PDF-XChange Viewer from Tracker Software. If the PDF was done as an image then you will not be able to select the text.

How can i copy text from a pdf while in firefox?

i no longer seem to be able to highlight and copy text from a pdf, while in firefox 33.0, using adobe to view pdfs.
how do i turn on the select tool, so i can do this?

When viewing a PDF with a browser you are using a browse add-on (Adobe's, Firefox's, or some other provider).
An add-on is not the desktop application; add-ons do not provide the full functionality of the desktop application (Reader or Acrobat).
To have full use of all Comment and Drawing Markup tools save the PDF to the local machine's HDD.
Launch Adobe Reader XI (pre-XI releases do not have the full set of these tools).
Open the PDF. Annotate as desired.
Be well...

Why cannot I copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Adobe Reader XI?

Hi all,
I had a problem when I tried to copy some selected text on a pdf file([Linux.System.Programming(2nd,2013.5)].Robert.Love.文字版.pdf) , which was opened in Adobe Reader XI as below (non-English version):
The error's text could be primarily translated as "An error occured when copied to clipboard. Internal Error." I'm not sure about the reason of this. I guess it is a problem or bug related to operating system or Adobe Reader XI. I had this problem when I used other versions of Adobe Reader though I cannot remember the exact number of versions now.
The version of XI I'm using is 11.0.0. The operating system is XP SP3.
As I was writing this question, the problem disappeared and I cannot reproduce it again now.
Could anyone help explain why the error message appearred or why the problem disappearred? If there is referrence provided, that would be finer. Thank you.

How do i export text from a pdf?

I don't know which adobe to purchase in order to export text from a pdf and move it to a spreadsheet.... can someone please help?

Hi losjovenes1,
You can use Adobe Acrobat for the purpose.
If you need just a part of the PDF file in another format, you don’t need to convert the entire file and then extract the relevant content. You can select parts of a PDF file and save it in one of the supported formats: DOCX, DOC, XLSX, RTF, XML, HTML, or CSV.
Use the Select tool and mark the content to save.
Right-click on the selected content and choose Export Selection As.
Select a format from Save As Type list and click Save.

How disable PDFEdit combines text from multiple Tj operators

HI
In http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/pdfl_sdk/9/PDFL_SDK9_HTMLHelp/API_References/Acrobat_API_Re ference/PDFEdit_Layer/PDEText.html mention that "PDFEdit combines text from multiple Tj operators into a single text run, when possible "
how I can disable this feature
I want disable this feature because I write a program that process (encrypt) and copy every element recursively , I used chain encryption algorithm that mean if one bit change or shift all result will be wrong
when I encrypt, for example count 323 run in one textelement but after encryption and when I want decrypt in same textelement I just get 322 run, I think this problem caused by PDFEdit combines text.
thanks for your help

Pdfedit can and often will write a completely different set of operators. It converts the operators to an object representation, then wites opererators for the objects. you cannot stop this, it is what it is supposed to do.

How can I have text from multiple fields on one layer, copy to one field on another layer?

A little help please as it's been years since I've done any coding of any sort.
So I have a 4 page document with various field types. I have a document script that gets "TodaysDate" that works perfectly and a few other scripts as well.
So what I'm trying to do is find a work around for the following:
I have 3 fields - SURNAME, FIRSTNAME & dob.
And I want what is typed into these fields to populate into 1 field. And according to this tutorial (http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript) it's not exactly possible. At least I think that's what it says.
However I'm hoping that maybe I could have a Submit button at the end of that document that when clicked would copy the text from those 3 fields (that I would have on 1 layer) into 1 field on a 2nd layer. Is that even possible??
I'd also like to have the document Print, Save (using the text in the field on the 2nd layer as the file name), Email (using the text in the field on the 2nd layer as the subject line) and Export to a specific Excel spreadsheet.
I don't want much do I?
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro on a Windows PC but also have access to Acrobat 8 Professional. And I'm going to want the form to run in Acrobat Reader X.
So far I have for the 3 fields into 1 on another layer:
function buttonClick(){
if(buttonClick==false)
event.value=this.getField("SURNAME"+"-"+"FIRSTNAME"+"-"+"dob").valueAsString;
But I have no idea how to call the event.value from 1 layer to another or if any of that code above would even work at all.
I have a script that I believe will work perfectly for the Save and Email function:
Using the “doc.submitForm()” function
// This is the form return e-mail. Its hardcoded
// so that the form is always returned to the same address
// Change address on your form
var cToAddr = "[email protected]";
// First, get the client CC e-mail address
var cCCAddr = this.getField("ClientEmail").value;
// Now get the beneficiary e-mail only if it is filled out
var cBenAddr = this.getField("BennyEmail").value;
if(cBenAddr != "") cCCAddr += ";" + cBenAddr;
// Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
var cSubLine = "Form X-1 returned from client"; var cBody = "Thank you for submitting your form.\n" + "Save the mail attachment for your own records";
//** Send the form data as an XML attachment on an e-mail
// Build the e-mail URL
var cEmailURL = "mailto:[email protected]?cc=" + cCCAddr + "&subject=" + cSubLine + "&body=" + cBody;
this.submitForm({
            cURL: cEmailURL,
            cSubmitAs:"XML",
            cCharSet:"utf-8"
I'll work out the Export to Excel thing later as I've seen many tutorials on that. But can I do the 3 fields to 1 thing at all?
Please Help!!!

Sorry Gilad. I hope I'm not getting on your nerves (too much) but as I said it's been a while since I did any formal code. And I'm trying to do this code for a work document but I'm doing it in amongst so many other things I do for my job that it's difficult to get the time to concentrate for longer than 5 mins.
I didn't get a chance to try that code until just now. I guess I asked again as I thought (from what I'd read) that it wouldn't be that simple.
So I've added that code and I get no errors. But it doesn't appear to be doing anything either. I've added the code like this in the Custom calculation script of a separate field I've called FileName. And on the Button i'm using I've added: buttonClick()
function buttonClick(){
if(buttonClick==false)
          event.value=this.getField("SURNAME").valueAsString + "-" + this.getField("FIRSTNAME").valueAsString + "-" + this.getField("dob").valueAsString;
So now I'm guessing that becasue i'm not getting an error or a result that I've screwed it up still. Have I put the code in the correct area? Have I assigned a the buttonClick() function correctly?

How do I select text in a PDF document?

I have a text-based PDF document, but I can only select text by restarting the reader. Once I select "Take a Snapshot" I can't select text anymore. How do I switch back to select text? I tried right-clicking on the document but I don't see any "selection" tool. I am using 11.0.3 under Win 7.

Just tested this (Reader 11.0.3 on Windows XP), and your scenario is exactly so.
I have been able to go back to get the Select Tool by clicking on the Highlight tool in the Toolbar, then right-clicking on the document.
But it's definitely a bug in my view.

How to make single file from multiple PDF image?

Hi, it's my first question in SCN.
I promise my efforts for developing this site.
Lately, I made multiple PDF image by function 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'.(each spool ID)
And I wanna make single .PDF file by merging these image in server directory(not local PC).
So I tried it following.
1. Each internal table resulted from CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF append one internal table.
   BL_PDF + MF_PDF → PDF
2. Excute following command.
OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR OUTPUT MESSAGE LV_MSG IN BINARY MODE.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    LOOP AT PDF.
      MOVE PDF TO FIELD.
      TRANSFER FIELD TO P_FILE.
      CLEAR PDF.
    ENDLOOP.
    CLOSE DATASET P_FILE.
ENDIF.
But files was not merged, only last image was made as .PDF file instead.
How can I do it?
Thank you.

Hi Sangrok,
Instead of preparing PDF multiple times, you can combine all the OTF data and then finally convert it into PDF. For saving the PDF onto application server, you can refer following report.

How do I copy text from a web page in Safari?

I've searched up and down and can't find the answer to this simple question.
There is a UI element that I want to copy to the clipboard and then paste into Excel. The UI element is:
static text of group 104 of UI element 1 of scroll area 1 of group 4 of window "Account Summary"
The contents of this static text on the web page is "$1,000.00"
How can I copy this to the clipboard?
I've tried:
select static text of group 104 of UI element 1 of scroll area 1 of group 4 of window "Account Summary"
keystroke "c" using command down
keystroke "l" using command down
keystroke "v" using command down
but it doesn't work. "Select" doesn't actually seem to select anything. However, when I run this from within Script Editor, in the Results Window I get:
{static text "$1000.00" of group 104 of UI element 1 of scroll area 1 of group 4 of window "Account Summary" of application process "Safari" of application "System Events"}
... I'm confused as to what this is telling me. All I want is to copy this value to the clipboard. Any suggestions???
Thanks,
Jeff

Try this:
set the clipboard to item 1 of (get name of (static text of group 104 of UI element 1 of scroll area 1 of group 4 of window "Account Summary" of application process "Safari"))

How do you select text on a Web page in Firefox mobile for Android?

When trying to select text to copy, the only option is to share with email.

hello Gatorgatch, you can select text by long-taping on it - then there should appear an option to copy it in the toolbar at the top.
