Hi,

I can't figure how to automaticaly embed an index using the Batch process.
(An Acrobat 8+ embedded index, not a Catalog-index)

I can't find any simple command to do this in the "Edit Sequence" window.
I'd tried to use the "execute JavaScript" command with this code :
[i]app.execMenuItem("ADBE:EmbedIndex");[/i]
but it only displays the "Manage Embedded index" dialog box… and wait until I manually clic on the "Embed index" button…

Can someone help me please ?

What do you mean by "An Acrobat 8+ embedded index, not a Catalog-index"?

I'm talking about the "Embedded index", a new feature introduced by Acrobat 8.
Opposite to the (old feature) "Catalog full text index".

See attachment (clic to enlarge) :

Thanks.

2 months without any answer… (other than try67's, but it didn't really helps. Thanks to him in any case)

Can't my question be answered ?
Where can I find a JavaScript bible for Acrobat 8 or 9 as it was provided with earlier Acrobat's versions ?

You know, something like that : http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/AcroJSGuide.pdf
but I need an updated version…

Maybe (?) - not sure if this points to what you want.

Acrobat Developer Center, Downloads
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/?view=downloads

For Acrobat 8's Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript "js_developer_guide.pdf"
Use the link "Download the Acrobat 8.1 SDK documentation (ZIP, 53.1 MB).
The zip file (acrobat_sdk_doc_set.zip) contains the PDF.
Also present are:
---| AcroJSGuide.pdf (the Acrobat 7.0.5 document)
---| js_3d_api_reference.pdf
---| js_api_reference.pdf

For Acrobat 9 -
I think you want file "sdk9_v1_docs"; the Windows version of this zip file contains another zip file.
This is a zip file of files in the LiveDocs format (HTML). Acrobat 9 JavaScript information is present.
But... I don't see it up in Adobe's web space these days; so, that leaves LiveDocs.

Be well...

Since it's looks like impossible to execute the Embedded index using JavaScript I wrote this line for a batch sequence :

app.execMenuItem("ADBE:EmbedIndex");
Then, running in background an AppleScript "clic" on the "Embed index" button, and after embedding "clic" the "OK" button, and so on…

Here's the AppleScript, copy-paste into the AppleScript editor, then save as "APP" and check-on the "stay in background" case.

on idle activate application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"tell application "System Events" to tell process "Acrobat"set frontmost to truetell window "Manage Embedded Index"if exists thenif button "Embed Index..." is enabled thenclick button "Embed Index..."end ifif button "OK" is enabled thenclick button "OK"end ifend ifend tell

 end tell

return 1end idle

 on quit


continue quitend quit

;-)


PS : this AppleScript was made by Pierre-Jean Goulier : http://www.realworks.fr/logiciels.php
