我需要开发一个简单的excel vba应用程序来进行一些数据验证。我有带有员工信息的excel文件,我需要根据源文档验证该信息(pdf文件)。 excel中的信息按员工姓名分组。
是否可以编写将打开指定pdf文件的VBA脚本,然后允许用户搜索员工姓名,以便pdf跳转到相应的员工页面? (每个员工在pdf文档中都有一个单独的页面。)一旦进入员工页面,用户将查看数据,对excel文件进行必要的编辑,然后搜索下一个员工。
我相信我可以使用:
Sub NavigatePDF()
ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink "c:\user\target.pdf"
End Sub
打开一个pdf文件,但是一旦我打开文件,我就不知道如何从excel vba发出搜索。
任何人都可以提供任何建议或指向我一些有用的资源。
答案 0 :(得分:0)
其他一些研究产生了由Christos Samaras撰写的应用程序。该工具使用excel vba打开指定的PDF,然后突出显示提供的搜索词。可能唯一的缺点是需要Adobe PDF Pro - 该代码不适用于Acrobat Reader。
以下是link和代码:

Sub FindTextInPDF()
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'This macro can be used to find a specific TEXT (more than one word) in a PDF document.
'The macro opens the PDF, finds the specified text (the first instance), scrolls so
'that it is visible and highlights it.
'The macro uses the FindText method (see the code below for more info).
'Note that in some cases it doesn't work (doesn't highlight the text), so in those
'cases prefer the SearchTextInPDF macro, if you have only ONE WORD to find!
'The code uses late binding, so no reference to external library is required.
'However, the code works ONLY with Adobe Professional, so don't try to use it with
'Adobe Reader because you will get an "ActiveX component can't create object" error.
