Search text - expression in PDF
Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2018 10:20 am
Hi all,
I'd like to know if I could made some action list to check the value of text in a PDF, to verify if the items code is correct from the version of PDF.
Let me explain :
- Have PDFs for a catalog in 3 Versions.
- Each articles have a ref number, with a number code
example :
Catalog version 45 - Articles in PDF have this ref number : 45xx-xxx where the 2 first numbers are equal to catalog version
Catalog version 47 - Articles in PDF : 47xx-xxx
Catalog version 51 - Articles in PDF : 51xx-xxx
So I'd like to made action list to search an find text that is similar to xxxx-xxxx, and then verify if the 2 numbers at the beginning are equal to version catalog.
I'v made a script in Enfocus Pitstop Pro with search text, but it's limited option, only find text that contain a specific characters, I didn't have options to specify searching this format "xxxx-xxx" and then compare 2 numers at the beginning with a specific value, and if it's wrong then PDF goes in error.
This could be great to verify the items refs for each versions, if the refs in place is the good with the catalog version.
Hope my english is understanding !
Thx,
Christian
