Dear Experts,

I am using an application where i have configured a screen with PDF.

the pdf is of fault manual of sinamics g120,

i want to put find function here,i.e if a perticular fault occurs client just types the fault number and it automatically appears there.just like in normal pdf

can we provide this functionality..

please advice

thanks in advance

Hello hsnaik,

there is no "search / find" function available with this PDF viewer.

I have a solution for your case, but it needs some scripting.

• Add an I/O field where the user can input the error number.
• Add a script "SearchPDF" to the event "Input finished" of the I/O field.
  The script has to select the page where the error is described.
• You can use the system function "PDFGotoPage" to go to a certain page number in the PDF.
  Put this function on a button you use to acqnowldege the input of the error number, name it something like "OK" or "search". Use a tag "TagPageNumber" for the parameter "side".

I guess you are talking about this document? https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109477254
In this case you have about 90 pages of error codes, with 2 to 5 error codes per page.

You can use a case-function in the script "PDFGotoPage":

Select Case SmartTags("TagErrorNumber")

Case 1000-1002 
          SmartTags("TagPageNumber") = 529

Case 1003-1005
          SmartTags("TagPageNumber") = 530

Case 1009-1010,1015-1017
          SmartTags("TagPageNumber") = 531

...

Case 35950,50001,50010,50020
          SmartTags("TagPageNumber") = 616

Case Else
         --> Message "Error not found"

End Select

 Of course it's a bit of work and only a "stupid list" but it should work well enough.

(Better than creating 400 small PDF files named like the error description they contain.)
