Hello nbmani,

Most likely some of the methods you are using require elevated privileges (and we were not enforcing those correctly in the past).
You will likely need to create trustedFunction in which to execute your code and it will work once again.
Please take a look e.g. here on how to declare such a trusted function:

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello, nbmani

Would it be possible for you to send us a sample of your plugin, so that we can have the dev team take a look at see what it may be?

Hi.

I did not receive any feedback so I tried to do on my own. I have the version 10.2.1.385 and still having having the same error "An error occured: NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method."

What I'm doing wrong?

Code: Select all

app.addToolButton({
    cName: "ExtractPagesByKeywords",
    cLabel: "Extract Pages by Keywords to one PDF file",
    cExec: "extractPagesByKeywords()",
    cTooltext: "Extract pages containing specific keywords",
    cEnable: true,
    nPos: -1
});

var extractPagesByKeywords = app.trustedFunction(function () {
    app.beginPriv();

    try {
        var doc = this;

        var searchText = app.trustedFunction(function () {
            app.beginPriv();
            var result = app.response("Enter the text to search for (not case sensitive), separated by commas:");
            app.endPriv();
            return result;
        })();

        if (!searchText) {
            app.alert("No keyword(s) inserted.");
            return;
        }

        var searchTextGroups = searchText.split(",").map(app.trustedFunction(function (group) {
            app.beginPriv();
            var result = group.trim().split(" ");
            app.endPriv();
            return result;
        }));

        var searchResults = new Set();

        for (var i = 0; i < doc.numPages; i++) {
            app.beginPriv(); // Start of the privileged section for the loop
            var numWords = doc.getPageNumWords(i);
            var pageText = "";

            for (var j = 0; j < numWords; j++) {
                var word = doc.getPageNthWord(i, j, true);
                pageText += word + " ";
            }
            app.endPriv(); // End of the privileged section for the loop

            searchTextGroups.forEach(app.trustedFunction(function (group) {
                app.beginPriv();
                var groupFound = group.every(function (keyword) {
                    return pageText.toLowerCase().includes(keyword.toLowerCase());
                });

                if (groupFound) {
                    searchResults.add(i);
                }
                app.endPriv();
            }));
        }

        if (searchResults.size > 0) {
            app.beginPriv();
            var outputPath = doc.path.replace(/\.pdf$/, '_' + 'extracted' + '.pdf');
            var newDoc = app.newDoc();

            searchResults.forEach(app.trustedFunction(function (pageIndex) {
                app.beginPriv();
                newDoc.insertPages({
                    nPage: newDoc.numPages - 1,
                    cPath: doc.path,
                    nStart: pageIndex,
                    nEnd: pageIndex
                });
                app.endPriv();
            }));

            newDoc.deletePages(0);
            newDoc.saveAs(outputPath);
            newDoc.closeDoc(true);
            app.endPriv();

            console.println("Pages extracted and saved to file: " + outputPath);
            app.alert("Process concluded. The pages were extracted and saved in the same folder as the original file: " + outputPath, 3);
        } else {
            console.println("Text not found.");
            app.alert("None of the words entered were found in the document.");
        }
    } catch (e) {
        console.println("An error occurred: " + e);
        app.alert("An error occurred: " + e);
    }

    app.endPriv();
});

Hi nbmani,
Please try this one:

Code: Select all

app.addToolButton({
    cName: "ExtractPagesByKeywords",
    cLabel: "Extract Pages by Keywords to one PDF file",
    cExec: "extractPagesByKeywords()",
    cTooltext: "Extract pages containing specific keywords",
    cEnable: true,
    nPos: -1
});

var extractPagesByKeywords = app.trustedFunction(function () {

    try {
        var doc = this;
        app.beginPriv();
        var searchText = app.response("Enter the text to search for (not case sensitive), separated by commas:");
        app.endPriv();
        if (!searchText) {
            app.alert("No keyword(s) inserted.");
            return;
        }

        var searchTextGroups = searchText.split(",").map(group => group.trim().split(" "));

        var searchResults = new Set();

        for (var i = 0; i < doc.numPages; i++) {
            var numWords = doc.getPageNumWords(i);
            var pageText = "";

            for (var j = 0; j < numWords; j++) {
                var word = doc.getPageNthWord(i, j, true);
                pageText += word + " ";
            }
            searchTextGroups.forEach(function (group) {
                var groupFound = group.every(function (keyword) {
                    return pageText.toLowerCase().includes(keyword.toLowerCase());
                });

                if (groupFound) {
                    searchResults.add(i);
                }
            });
        }
        if (searchResults.size > 0) {
            var outputPath = doc.path.replace(/\.pdf$/, '_' + 'extracted' + '.pdf');
            app.beginPriv();                
            var newDoc = app.newDoc();
            for (const pageIndex of searchResults) {
                newDoc.insertPages({
                    nPage: newDoc.numPages - 1,
                    cPath: doc.path,
                    nStart: pageIndex,
                    nEnd: pageIndex
                });
            }
            newDoc.deletePages(0);
            newDoc.saveAs(outputPath);
	    app.endPriv();   
            newDoc.closeDoc(true);
            console.println("Pages extracted and saved to file: " + outputPath);
            app.alert("Process concluded. The pages were extracted and saved in the same folder as the original file: " + outputPath, 3);
        } else {
            console.println("Text not found.");
            app.alert("None of the words entered were found in the document.");
        }
    } catch (e) {
        console.println("An error occurred: " + e);
        app.alert("An error occurred: " + e);
    }
});
