How to distinguish a text in acrobat professional 8.0?

Question

Hi all,
I am new to this forum.
First, let me explain my problem:
I have a acrobat file which looks like as shown above. There is some text which corresponds to each number. I am interested to extract the numbers which have some particular text( ex:N/A) embedded in that text. With this, I am able to get 17 and 21. But, number 19 is also coming, though it does not has N/A in it. I mean, as there is N/A outside the box but before next question number, it appears like it is also associated with number 19.
My code is as follows:
var NA_Pattern1 = /N\/A\"/g;
var NA_Pattern2 = /N\/A/g;
        var my_pattern = /Y/g;
var Page_variable,Word_variable,k,l,number_of_pages;
var Prev_label,Present_label,count;
var word1,word2;
var Total_Qstn_Strng;
        Prev_label = 0;
k = 0;
count = 0;
number_of_pages = k ;
var Qstn_num = 1;
Total_Qstn_Strng = "";
for( Page_variable = 0 , l = 0 ; Page_variable < this.numPages ; Page_variable++ )
  if ( this.getPageLabel( Page_variable ) == Checklist_Pages[ l ] )
   //Get the number of words present in the page
  l++;
  Number_of_Words_in_a_Page = this.getPageNumWords( Page_variable );
Word_variable = 0;
    do
      word1 = this.getPageNthWord( Page_variable , Word_variable , false );
     Word_variable ++ ;
     word2 = this.getPageNthWord( Page_variable , Word_variable , false );
     Total_String = word1 + word2;
    while ( !NA_Pattern2.test( Total_String ) );
  for(  ; Word_variable < Number_of_Words_in_a_Page ;Word_variable ++  )
     word1 = this.getPageNthWord( Page_variable , Word_variable , false );
    if ( (word1 == Qstn_num ))
      Word1 = this.getPageNthWord( Page_variable , Word_variable , false );
      Total_String = "";
      while( (Qstn_num + 1) !=  Word1 && !(my_pattern.test(Word1)) )
       Total_String = Total_String + Word1;
       Word_variable ++;
       if ( Word_variable == Number_of_Words_in_a_Page )
        break;
       Word1 = this.getPageNthWord( Page_variable , Word_variable , false );
     if( NA_Pattern2.test(Total_String) || NA_Pattern1.test(Total_String))
       Total_Qstn_Strng = Total_Qstn_Strng + "," +  Qstn_num );
      Qstn_num ++;
      Word_variable --;   
app.alert(Total_Qstn_Strng);
Thanks in advance,

You may look also at the dimension of the words (getPageNthWordQuads).
