AcroPDF in VB6 - Find text in PDF and print that page.

Okay, so I'm certain that this question has been asked and answered a hundred times, but for some reason my googling skills are seriously failing me today...
I have a legacy application built in VB6 that generates PDF documents of a particular form letter. Each PDF contains all of the form letters that were printed on that particular day. I actually have it all working rather decently, but something came up a little while ago that set me on a new programming obsession. I want to enable the following functionality from my application:
The user provides a text string that should be unique among all pages of all PDF's (customer ID).
The application then finds the PDF that contains that text string and identifies which page number contains that text string.
Finally, send only that page to the printer.
Currently I can easily create, display and print the PDF from my application. While the creation of the document is done through a third-party reporting system, all display and printing functions are basically handled using AcroPDF.dll. Going through the available properties and methods for an AcroPDF object, I see that I can tell it to print only specified pages, which gives me the last part of my requirements, and I've got the user input part down pat. I'm just totally stumped at finding a solution for "step 2".
Any suggestions, ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated. I'm kinda tired of banging my head against a wall. Thank you for your time.

If you are only using Adobe Reader, then that feature isn't available.
If you have Adobe Acrobat, then you have a few options.

How can I digitalize a document text in PDF and export it to WORD?

How can I digitalize a document text in PDF and export it to WORD?

If you already have a PDF document, ExportPDF can help you with this task. https://www.acrobat.com/exportpdf/en/convert-pdf-to-word.html
On the other hand, if you have a physical document, you'll need to scan it into a PDF document first.
Depending on what you need to do you may require different tools & services, so please help us out with more details.

Search text in PDF and MS Word document

Can any body tell me how search text in PDF
and MS Word document through Java code, any
body has code or any suggestion to giveYes.
First, you need to work out how to read each document type from Java.
E.g, for MS Word you could use Apache Jakarta POI - HWPF: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hwpf/index.html
Then, you use Apache Lucene to index and search.
See http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/index.html

How can I find text-item description and content in database?

I make "Actual news" region with text and simple image items.
With "Custom Search" autoquery I make news portlet with 10 latest news.
But I will make with PDK-Java discussion portlet, in which users can read and write about last published (last created text item display name and content) news.
My questions:
- How can I find text-item description and content in database?
- How I can sort text-items to find latest created in my region?
I have Portal R2
Thanks in advance.

How to Convert Blog Page in PDF and Print it Directly?

Hi,
I have a technology tips and tricks related blog which is named TechnTechie. I want that my visitors will be able to convert all of my blog pages to PDF and also will be able to print that out with a single click with the pictures in the post. Is it possible to do that? If possible please suggest how to do that? My blog is in WordPress blog and the url is http://techntechie.com
Thank You
Himadri Subrah Saha

You cannot invoke "automatic" printing from the server side. Best what you can do is to download the whole PDF file inline and let the client decide what to do with it. If you really, really want to pick a page out of the PDF file and display that page only, then you should use a PDF reader API for Java to be able to pick a page programmatically. iText is such a PDF reader API for Java. You can find it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/itext

How can I extract a still picture from footage in iMovie, add text to it and print it ?

How can I extract a still picture from footage in imovie, add text to it and print it ?

Assuming you have iMovie 11 (also known as Version 9.0.4), here is how you do it. (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different).
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
You can then use this photo in Photoshop, Pixelmator, Acorn, or the app of your choice to add text.
Here is a demo I made the other day for how to extract the still image using MPEG Streamclip.

Pages crashes when opening any document on iPad 3 Latest version. I tried everything I could find on the net and finally deleted Pages from my device and reinstalled it. Still when I try to create a new document or open a document it just crashes out.

Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

How do I get a PDF document put into an attachment form that I can drag to an e-mail. Usually I get an icon showing an spiral note book which then becomes an attachment when I drag it to the e-mail, but occasionally it stays in PDF and prints out on the e-mail. What have I done differently?

Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!
And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.
Any more clues?
