ARTS Split Pro 1.4 

 

 

 
This section explains the tool buttons and menu items made available by the ARTS Split 
Pro Assistant plug-in. 

 

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 

. 

 
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. 

 

. 

 

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. 

 

 

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”.
