Q: Is it possible to save result of a search in a word or notepad?
 
A:If you mean the results of the Search object in Acrobat JavaScript, No. The results aren't even available to JavaScript. You can however do a search using the "doc.pageGetNthWord()" function, collect and save the results to a text string. Saving it to a ".doc" or ".txt" file is more difficult. The easy way is to save the result text is to write it to an embedded file. Then have the user save it. Or you could get fancy and use the result data to create a new PDF with the Report Object. Then save it to a doc or text file on the users system with the conversion settings in the "doc.saveAs()" function.
