JS to copy text from one PDF to another

We have huge insurance contracts and need to be able to search for keywords, find the bottom of the paragraph and copy that section to another PDF.
I have been unable to find any way to do this using JS. (Would like to create a button action to start search)
Can this be done in JS, and if yes, can you point me to some documentation on the subject?
Thanks
J

You can't change the actual textual content of a PDF using JS. You can add text by creating a text field, inserting text into it, and then flattening it.

How do I copy text from one layer to another?

I have Googled this but not a single answer seems to work.
I am using Photoshop CS4 on OS X 10.6.7.
OK, so I have a layer that has some text in it. I would like to be able to simply copy that text from one layer to another, but this seems to be impossible as the Edit Paste menu item is grayed out after I have copied it in to the clipboard. I can paste it into the SAME layer, but not into another layer.
This is how I am trying to do this.
In the layer with the text, click on the "T" icon to the left.
Click on the text, in the layer that I want to copy.
I select the text (either by clicking and dragging or pressing Command-A).
Next I press Command-C.
Then I click on the layer In the Layer Panel) where I want to paste the text.
Pressing Command-V is impossible because the Edit-Paste menu option is grayed out!!!!
WHY??????
Perhaps more importantly, HOW do I copy text from one layer to another?

First thing you can simply right click on the Text Layer and choose Duplicate Layer. But that will create a new Text Lay
er identical to the one you have.
To answer your question in your case.... Create the Text Layer. Make a New Layer. Or have the layer you want to paste into visible.
Highlight the text layer in the Layer Palette and Ctrl+Click (Win) Cmd+Click(Mac) so that you see marching ants walking around your text.
Edit>Copy.
Then highlight your Layer you want to paste into and hit Edit>Paste or Cmd+V / Ctrl+V.

Can Pages copy text from one page to another automatically?

Can Pages automatically copy text from one page to another?
For example recurring text in a document e.g. addressee details or a date (not today's date).
I want to type the topic title of one letter and have it automatically filled into the correct field in the next page which will be a letter to a different recipient.
The letter text will be different for each recipient so mail merge probably won't work.
Thanks
Andy

Thanks that worked great!!!(for the first line)
Now why wont it populate more than the one other text field?
F.Lic.Table1.Row1.agt_ssn_lic.rawValue = xfa.event.newText;
F.PAGE3.agt_ssn_1.rawValue = xfa.event.newText;
F.PAGE4.agt_ssn_2.rawValue = xfa.event.newText;

Copy selection from one pdf to another pdf

Who knows how I can copy a selection from one pdf (including pictures and text) into another pdf?

can you post the pdf you're copying from and copying into?
It sounds like they're not well formed PDF files.
As the copied image on the clipboard is pasted as a comment you can also
drag the handles of the image once it's copied into the pdf. It tends to
paste the image at full size making the quality appear less.
failing that, you could try pasting into Word first, then make a new
copy of the image in Word and paste that as a comment instead.
Also you can set the resolution of the image captured by the snapshot
tool in Acrobat's preferences:
edit>preferences>general> 'Used fixed resolution for snapshot tool'
As mentioned before you can also place an existing image (like a jpeg)
into a PDF using the touchup Object tool. (Acrobat Pro or higher)
Select the touchup object tool from tools>advanced editing
then right-click in the pdf and select 'Place image' then select the
image to be inserted.
Some resizing will be required when doing this.

How to cut and paste from one PDF to another

Acrobat Pro - 2 weeks ago I could cut and paste text from one PDF to another doc or PDF but now the cursor has disappeared and I only get a hand. I can no longer highlight text. Is there something in the settings I can change?

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

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...

You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.

No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

Copy text from a PDF to word. Just get Symbols

Hello,
I have a public PDF with no Copying Restrictions. When I try to copy text from the PDF highlighted text to WORD I only get unreadable garbage.
I can select the desired text and copy it into word but when I paste the text it is pasted like symbols and lines.
I tried Special Paste and does not works. It says the font is a Gill Sans something (with numbers and so on), no really a font it seems but when i change it to Arial i still get symbols.
Any help or ideas,
Cheers,
Sebastian

I have this exact same problem. It is very frustrating. How is it not possible to "grab" onto the text in the pdf ??!!
I am looking at it. I can see it. I can read it.
I can highlight the individual letters and words with the mouse pointer. (So it's not just a "picture")
With a pdf editor, I can even make the text bold, italic, or increase the font size.
SO WHY CAN'T I COPY THE TEXT! AAARGH!
No, the file is not protected.
Yes, I have tried saving as different formats. (The "save as tiff file workaround" idea is very time consuming and greatly degrades the quallity.)
The font is shown as being: "Arial083.313"
Something in the pdf program is recognizing the text, translating the 1's and 0's (that make up all computer files) into the letters that display on the screen that I can read and select with the mouse. So why can't that same "something" allow me to copy it? So frustrating.
Somebody please help. If you can solve this problem you are awesome.

Indesign repeatedly crashes when I copy text from one InDesign document to another InDesign document

Indesign CC repeatedly crashes when I copy text from one InDesign document to another InDesign document. Is it possible to solve this problem?

Without system information and details like what text formatting, language settings, fonts used, paragraph styles even down to the spell check language nobody can even begin to guess.
