Reader -- Create Comments Summary


Direct purchase using PayPal ($50 per license)!

As we all know, Adobe Reader is more limited in functionality than Adobe Acrobat (makes sense, since it's a free product), but sometimes you want to achieve certain things in Reader that are also possible in Acrobat, like creating a summary of the comments in your file.

In the past I have created scripts that create PDF or Plain Text comment summaries for Acrobat (See: http://try67.blogspot.com/2008/11/acrobat-create-comments-summary-txt-pdf.html), and now comes the Reader version.
Because it's not possible to generate PDF files in Reader, or to create TXT files (unless you have a special right applied to your file), I've chosen a different path.
This script will create the comment summary and then present it in a new window, inside a text box, which you can then copy & paste into Word, Notepad or any other application. It looks something like this:

Important:
The script will only work on files with the Commenting in Reader right extended.
And yes, the comments summary it creates includes sticky notes!

Acrobat -- Extract Pages with Proper Sequential Names


Direct purchase using PayPal ($40 per license)!

Acrobat built-in Page Extraction method creates files which are not properly named, such as page1, page2... page9, page10. If you then try to sort them, page10 will come after page1, instead of after page9, like so:



My script will extract the pages into files with proper sequential names, like so:


New Feature: Now you can customize the names of the files created even further.
You can specify the pattern to be used for the files' names, using this dialog window:


You can insert your own text, as well as the original file's name, page number and total number of pages.
