Both the page and character index are clamped to the number of pages and characters on a page so you could set both to very high numbers. Adding character counts to the documentPages property might be useful here too. Cheers Monte > On 13 Dec 2021, at 11:17 am, Paul Dupuis via use-livecode >

Re: Ghost in the Machine?

Peter, I think the piece of info we are all missing (or guessing wrongly about) is: the existing club membership system - is it a web-based system, or an app that runs on your desktop. We're all kind of assuming it's a web page, but I now suspect maybe it isn't. If it is a web page - then the

Re: How to extract whole text from a PDF file with the PDF widget?

Thank you Monte, We've just started to make a map from XPDF APIs to the PDF Widget APIs, so I'll make sure that gets done soon and add any missing capabilities as requests to the LC Quality Center. With regard to the hilitedRange and hilitedRangeText properties, can you just advise on the co

Re: How to extract whole text from a PDF file with the PDF widget?

Hi Folks Currently you can extract text in the widget by setting the hilitedRange and getting the hilitedRangeText. It wouldn’t be that hard to add extracted text to the documentPages property. The PDF widget was built to meet the requirements for a client rather than to match the features of X

Re: Ghost in the Machine?

Thanks Alex, Dan & Tom for responding to this, but I suspect that I didn't explain things well enough, let me elaborate… 1. Periodically we have small batches of new members joining a club. We have their details in a CSV file which we'd normally think of doing some kind of batch upload. 2. How
