3.0 ARTS Split Pro Assistant Tools

This section explains the tool buttons and menu items made available by the ARTS Split

Pro Assistant plug-in.

3.1 Create a new coordinate file

To create a coordinate file:

1. Click the 'Create a New CRD File' button (

) on the ARTS Split Pro Assistant

toolbar. You can alternatively go to 'Plug-ins > ARTS Split Pro Assistant > New'

in the Adobe Acrobat plug-ins menu.

2. The Rectangle Tool ( ) is now automatically activated/selected enabling you to

draw a rectangle on your PDF page. Drag a box over the area on the page that

contains the text you wish to apply a command to.

3. The 'Rectangle Tool Properties' window will now appear. Select the command

you wish to use for the rectangle you just created on your page. A short

description for each command is can be found below the rectangle command

drop-down list.

Refer to Rectangle Commands

4. Enter any parameter that is required for your command in the ‘parameters for

command‘ text box. This is where you enter the text when you wish to see if a

particular/literal string is present on the page.

Refer to Parameters

5. Click “OK”. This command is now set to the rectangle currently selected.

Note: for each rectangle only one rectangle command can be set. However, there is no

limit to the number of rectangles that can exist within a coordinate file. Therefore if you

wish to apply several commands to a particular piece of text then it is possible by

creating another rectangle over the top of the existing one.

3.2 Open a coordinate file

To open an existing coordinate file:

1. Select ‘Open’ from the ARTS Split Pro menu or click on the open button (

)

located on the ARTS Split Pro toolbar.

2. Select the coordinate file to open.

3. Click “Open”.
