Searching and Indexing
Using Acrobat and the Acrobat SDK, you can:
●
Search - locate an occurrence of a word in the document content, metadata,
attachments or other objects.
●
Catalog - create a full-text index of your PDF document or document collections.
This chapter consists of the following sections:
●
The Acrobat Search Plug-in
●
Indexing PDF Documents
The Acrobat Search Plug-in
With Acrobat, Adobe provides a full-text search system. Using the Acrobat search system,
you can:
●
Initiate a search with options
You can pass query expressions and search settings (for example, whole words only,
word stemming, case sensitive, and so forth) to the Acrobat search plug-in and initiate
the search. Search results will be presented to the user.
●
Control the list of indexes to search
The search interface allows searches to be performed on one or more of the available
indexes. You can control the list of active indexes.
The Acrobat Search plug-in allows users to perform text searches in PDF documents. It adds
menus, menu items, toolbar buttons, and a Search panel to the Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
You can communicate with the Search plug-in via its plug-in API, via IAC (DDE or Apple
events) or via Acrobat JavaScript’s
Search
object. You can perform all search options from
each of these development environments.
Creating Custom Searches
The Acrobat interface can be extended with new menus and toolbar icons. For example,
buttons to invoke a search and to find the next or previous occurrences can be added to
the toolbar. You can also add custom, repeatable searches to a menu to increase user
efficiency.
For more information about adding menu items and toolbar buttons, see “Adding or
Removing Menus and Menu Items” on page 59 and “Modifying the Toolbar” on page 60 .
