I review thousands pages medical records that have been converted with OCR to PDFS. I need
to review pages that were typewritten -not hand written notes. Is thee a way to locate and segregate all of these pages before I begin the review?
 
Also, I have twenty key words I need to see in context. Is there a way to search for all words at one time instead of entering each individually in search box?
 
Thanks

Hopefully your pdf collection has bookmarks and were properly tagged in the authoring application.

Try these Javascripts as mouse up button actions:

Example 1

var bkmName = app.response({
cQuestion: "Enter the name of the bookmark to find",
cTitle: "Bookmark Search and Execute"
});
if ( bkmName != null ) {
var bkm = searchBookmarks(this.bookmarkRoot, 0, bkmName );
if ( bkm != null ) bkm.execute();
else app.alert("Bookmark not found");
}

Example 2
Searches through the document for the word “Acrobat” and create a link around that word. Note: you can modify this script to eliminate the URL address.

for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
{
var numWords = this.getPageNumWords(p);
for (var i=0; i
