jscript project

i new world of jscript , adobe. use adobe 8 pro.  in reading jscript api, appear me should able program jscript solve problem have. assume have 10 pdf files each 10 pages more or less. further assume have 5 annotations (which change project project). goal have jscript create new pdf file "summarizes" of tags have been placed in other 10 files.

my "pseudo code" be:

ask me 5 annotations (or read them file)

browse group of files annotated (multiple selection of 10 files dialog)

open files.

allow me page through each file, marking annotations go. ideally, right click on page , select 1 of 5 annotations.

since annotations may span multiple pages in document, want way specify annotation spanned multiple pages. want able put multiple annotations on pages.

save "annotated" version of files

create new summary file containing list of annotations followed document name , page numbers of annotations.

can please point me in proper direction as coding examples go? appreciated!

that exact workflow not scripting - jsapi has no ability drive asynchronous parts of user interface (it cannot "watch" apply comments file) , has basic support dialogs. can create pdf report of comments within file using application-level script, have identify annotations via 1 of default properties (author name, date, color, etc.) instead of tracking them they're placed.

 

annotations in pdf files cannot span pages (nothing can - every object in pdf content stream defined single page number , position rectangle). try drawing markup shape or highlight past page boundary , you'll find acrobat won't allow it.
