Hi ,
 
I have a pdf file of over 100 pages consisting figures.
I am looking for something that will match all the figures in the file and plot the match data's page number in a sticky note against the figure .
 
eg. in page number 2 there is a figure 10.23 and in page number 16,28,112 the figure flows.
 
What I want.
 
In Page 2 there will be a sticky note against the number 10.23 with 16,28,112 written.
 
In Page 16 against the figure(10.23 ) there will be another sticky note with 2,28,112 written in it.
 
In Page 28 against the figure(10.23 ) there will be another sticky note with 2,16,112 written in it.
 
In Page 112 against the figure(10.23 ) there will be another sticky note with 2,16,28 written in it.
  
In short all the figures will be tied out with one another and the refence will be plotted against them.
 
Please help me.
Thanks in advance,
me.

Thanks in advance,
Me

You need an automation script to analyze all the pages in the PDF to collect the info and place the sticky notes. I've done this sort of thing quite a bit, Not a simple task. The first bit is finding the "figure" numbers. If they are text on the page, then use the doc.pageGetNthWord() and doc.pageGetNthWordQuads() functions to write a search function.

As I stated, writing such an automation script is not a simple task. It would require analysis of the documents that are to be processed and possibly take hundreds of lines of code. You'll need to hire a developer. Post this request on the Job Board at this site.
