How to design plug-in which extract information from file opened in illustrator

Hi Everyone,
I want to design a plug-in in adobe illustrator which could extract information from pdf file which is opened in illustrator.
Can anyone give me direction from where could I start.??
Thanks in advance.

This is very difficult in any API because there are no tables in PDF.
If the table is at a known exact location you would extract text from each known cell location
If you have to discover tables you need to decide how to recognise them: perhaps by looking for drawn lines and analysing their relationship to see if they form a grid; then use the positions derived to get the text from the table.

How can I use Automator to extract information from the body of an email sent from a web form.. and the import it into Highrise?

I'm assuming that Automator is the way to go. I've never used it before but from research it seems to be the way to go. Also, I'm not good at programming at all.
Here's a typical email...

Comments: Please give me a call.
I have several hundred of these emails and I want to extract the information and then save it into my CRM which is Highrise (https://highrisehq.com). If it's too difficult to get it directly into Highrise then I'm aslo happy to extract the info into excel and the import into Highrise. However I do not want to have to run through that proceedure for every single email.
I'd really like some help on how to get Automator to do this for me. Or if not Automator.. any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Hello
You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
use strict;
use open IN => ':crlf';
chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
local $/ = qq(\\0);
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
local $/ = qq(\\n);
#     CSV spec
#     - record separator is CRLF
#     - field separator is comma
#     - every field is quoted
#     - text encoding is UTF-8
local $\\ = qq(\\015\\012);    # CRLF
local $, = qq(,);            # COMMA
# print column header row
my @dd = ('column 1', 'column 2', 'column 3', 'column 4', 'column 5', 'column 6');
print map { s/\"/\"\"/og; qq(\").$_.qq(\"); } @dd;
# print data row per each file
while (@ff) {
    my $f = shift @ff;    # file path
    if ( ! open(IN, '<', $f) ) {
        warn qq(Failed to open $f: $!);
        next;
    $f =~ s%^.*/%%og;    # file name
    @dd = ('', $f, '', '', '', '');
    while (<IN>) {
        chomp;
        $dd[0] = \"$2/$1/$3\" if m%Link Time\\s+=\\s+([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{4})%o;
        ($dd[2] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of CODE\\s/o;
        ($dd[3] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of DATA\\s/o;
        ($dd[4] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of XDATA\\s/o;

There are so many things wrong with this VI, I'm not even sure where to start.
Hard-coding paths that point to your user folder on the block diagram. What if somebody else tries to run it? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on Windows 7? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on a Mac or Linux? They'll get an error.
Not using Read From Spreadsheet File.
Use of local variables to populate an array.
Cannot insert values into an empty array.
What if there's a line missing from the text file? Now your data will not line up. Your case structure does handle this.
Also, how does this answer the poster's question?

Programatically extract information from PDF

I am very green to Adobe/Java programming, so this is just a plausibility question not really a how to question. Is it possible to take text from a PDF document that isn't a form? I have heard about database integration with forms but what if the document doesn't have recoginzed fields?
The department of labor has an online form that prints to PDF. Much of the information that is typed there must be re-typed over and over again in communications with employers. I'm wondering if we could take the information from the PDF and put it in a database to be merged in our office-created forms.
Sorry if my question is totally out there and thanks for any help.

I am scadoosh, but not iluvtofly. The information is in the same place in the forms. I could send the form if that is helpful. It is a form that we have to fill and submit online. We were hoping we could implement a solution where we could either extract information from the form that has been "printed to pdf" or the opposite, where we would fill in a database and programmatically fill the form.
When you say an Adobe LiveCycle product, what is that? Is it software or hardware? Would we have to purchase something in addition to Adobe Acrobat? What do we need to implement such a solution?
Are there Adobe people who design custom products? Or could we get training somewhere on how to implement an Adobe LiveCycle solution. If there are custom designers, could they implement a solution so that if the government moved fields a little bit, we could adjust the LiveCycle solution to fit the new form.
Thanks!

How do I remove my App store information from a Mac about to be sold

How do I remove my App Store information from
a Mac about to be sold ?

Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.
If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
Erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by starting up in Internet Recovery mode (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer with the machine.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either.
Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

How do I remove my credit card information from my 17 year old sons I tunes account

How can I remove my credit card information from my sons iTunes account? He charged something once and now it is there for him to use over and over!

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit the payment info on that account by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into the account, and on the account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and select 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on the account's page.

HT1918 how do i remove my credit card information from my apple account

How do i remove my credit card information from my apple account

Hi there
I am still waiting for an answer. I see numerous reply that do not answer the question, saying something like go into 'Payment Type' and select 'none'.
Well, that does not appear to exist on my account.
Also, why are there only options to say an answer 'Solved my question'!?
What is the point in this self-congratulatory, self-perpetuating cobblers!?
It's nothing short of sinister that there is not a clear and simple option on how to delete my credit card details from my account.
I would appreciate a proper response from Apple by return.

How can I find out which .pst or .ost file itunes referres to when synchronising with outlook

I´ve switched to iphone 4S from my 3Gs and would like to "clean" my itunes Sync before I use the new phone. Problem is, that the synchronisation with Outlook 2003 doesn´t work anymore. I guess the reason is that itunes refers to an old .ost or .pst file on my computer. I ve got several outlook profiles and changed from exchange to pop3. My question: How can I find out which .pst or .ost file itunes referres to?
Thanks a lot in advance :-)

Select the tune and then - Get Info - in the dialog box is a note of the Apple ID used to purchase.
