Hello,
I'd like to create a simple script to find the text that is copied to the
Clipboard in a PDF that is opened in Skim.
This is my attempt, but it doesn't work:
tell application "Skim"
set FindText to (the clipboard as text)
tell document 1
find text clipboard
end tell
end tell
What I'd like to achieve is, copy text in a Java app, search for the text in a
PDF so that the result is highlighted.
(Here is a similar script for Word DOCX:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
set MyDoc to active document
set FindText to (the clipboard as text)
set findRange to find object of selection
clear formatting findRange -- clear any previous formatting used in a
find operation
set forward of findRange to true -- find forward
set wrap of findRange to find continue
set foundIt to false --initialize found indicator
--this locates the text
tell findRange
set foundIt to execute find find text FindText -- do the search
true-found false-not found
end tell
end tell
)
Thanks,
Hans
