My pluggin is not working anymore with last update

[nbmani]

Hello.

I developed a plugin where I can extract and create a new file PDF considering a word founded but with last update is not working anymore.

Can anyone help me? Thanks

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,

I tried to do what you suggested but still having the same error: "Security prevents to use this object.."

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?

Kind regards,

[nbmani]

Sure.

Where should I send a sample?

[Tracker Supp-Stefan]

Hello nbmani,

Please e-mail that to support@pdf-xchange.com with a link back to this topic also included in the mail, and we would be happy to take a look for you!

Kind regards,
Stefan

[nbmani]

Thank you, already sent a sample.

Thank you for your help

Hello nbmani,

Thanks! We got your sample code, and will ask one of our colleagues from the dev team to take a look. We will post an update as soon as we have any additional news!

Kind regards,
Stefan

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,

                    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 {

        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()",

    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 + " ";
            }

                });

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

                newDoc.insertPages({
                    nPage: newDoc.numPages - 1,
                    cPath: doc.path,
                    nStart: pageIndex,
                    nEnd: pageIndex
                });
            }
            newDoc.deletePages(0);
            newDoc.saveAs(outputPath);
	    app.endPriv();   
            newDoc.closeDoc(true);
