I was trying to write a script to do a "find" in a pdf, and output all of the 
page numbers where that text was found (to generate an index for a book, where 
the search terms are already in an array).
I found of couple of example scripts that I thought I could modify, but I am 
having problems within Script Editor/Script Debugger.
If I open the example script (the one I am using is called "highlight 
occurrences of text") and execute it, it runs fine. The second that I attempt 
ANY editing to the script (insert a return at the top to start defining my own 
variables), I get the following script errors:
When it gets to the step that says "set theSel to find text theText" it tells 
me that the search term doesn't understand the find text message. If I change 
that line to "set theSel to find (text theText)" it will let me compile past 
that point, but then when it gets to the step "the theSel to find text theText 
from theSel" it refuses to compile, with the error that it expected the end of 
line, etc. but found "from." - like it doesn't recognize that this is a valid 
dictionary command. 
So it doesn't make sense that the script will run from within either Script 
Editor or Script Debugger when I first open the script, but if I do anything to 
the script that require a re-compile, it won't recompile. Any ideas?
