Currently have Excel 2016 and Acrobat Pro installed on my computer and using the macro below to extract pages based on list of keywords (actually deletes pages that does not have the keywords in them and saves as a new file, which is basically the same thing).

The only problem is that currently, it extracts only pages that have all the keywords in the selection in them. I need to modify so that if it has one keyword in the list, it will extract the page. See below..

Code:
Option Explicit
Sub Extract_PDF_Num_Keyword(control As IRibbonControl)
'extract pages from selected PDF based on selected keywords in sheet
Dim xMsg           As String
Dim xInput         As String
Dim xOutput        As String
Dim xResponse      As Long
Dim xErrors        As Long
Dim xDeleted       As Long
Dim i              As Long
Dim j              As Long
Dim AcroApp        As CAcroApp
Dim AcroPDDoc      As CAcroPDDoc
Dim AcroHiliteList As CAcroHiliteList
Dim AcroTextSelect As CAcroPDTextSelect
Dim PageNumber     As Variant
Dim PageContent    As Variant
Dim xContent       As Variant
Dim Cell           As Variant
Dim Rng            As Range


xInput = Application.GetOpenFilename("PDF Files (*.pdf), *.pdf")
If xInput = "False" Then Exit Sub


xOutput = FolderPart(xInput) & ActiveCell.Value & "_Keyword" & ".pdf"


xResponse = MsgBox("About to extract all pages which contain all keywords from the range A1:A" & Chr(10) _
            & Chr(10) & "Input:" & Chr(9) & xInput _
            & Chr(10) & "Output:" & Chr(9) & xOutput _
            & Chr(10) & Chr(10) & "('OK' to continue, 'Cancel' to quit.)", vbOKCancel, "Delete Pages")
If xResponse = 2 Then
    MsgBox "User chose not to continue. Run terminated."
    Exit Sub
End If


' Files and data OK?
If Dir(xInput) = "" Then xMsg = "Input file not found - " & xInput & Chr(10)
'If Dir(xOutput) <> "" Then xMsg = "Output file exists - " & xOutput & Chr(10)
Set Rng = Selection
If xMsg <> "" Then
    MsgBox (xMsg & Chr(10) & "Run cancelled.")
    Exit Sub
End If


' Open the PDF...
Set AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set AcroPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
If AcroPDDoc.Open(xInput) <> True Then
    MsgBox (xInput & " couldn't be opened - run cancelled.")
    Exit Sub
End If


' Read each page...
For i = AcroPDDoc.GetNumPages - 1 To 0 Step -1


    Set PageNumber = AcroPDDoc.AcquirePage(i)
    Set PageContent = CreateObject("AcroExch.HiliteList")


    'Get up to 9,999 words from page...
    If PageContent.Add(0, 9999) <> True Then
       
        Debug.Print "Add Error on Page " & i + 1
        xErrors = xErrors + 1
   
    Else


        Set AcroTextSelect = PageNumber.CreatePageHilite(PageContent)
   
        If Not AcroTextSelect Is Nothing Then
            xContent = ""
            For j = 0 To AcroTextSelect.GetNumText - 1
                xContent = xContent & AcroTextSelect.GetText(j)
            Next j
            For Each Cell In Rng
                If Not InStr(1, UCase(xContent), UCase(Cell), vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
                    Debug.Print "Page " & i + 1 & " contains " & Cell & " - " & xContent
                    ' To avoid problems with the delete...
                   Set AcroTextSelect = Nothing
                   Set PageContent = Nothing
                   Set PageNumber = Nothing
                    If AcroPDDoc.DeletePages(i, i) = False Then
                        MsgBox ("Error deleting page " & i + 1 & " - run cancelled.")
                        Exit Sub
                    End If
                    xDeleted = xDeleted + 1
                    Exit For
                End If
             Next Cell
        End If
       
    End If


Next i


If AcroPDDoc.Save(PDSaveFull, xOutput) = False Then
    MsgBox "Cannot save the modified document"
    Exit Sub
Else
    MsgBox (xDeleted & " pages deleted. (" & xErrors & " errors.)")
End If
   
AcroPDDoc.Close
AcroApp.Exit


End Sub


Function FolderPart(sPath As String) As String
  FolderPart = Left(sPath, InStrRev(sPath, "\"))
End Function

Any ideas? Thanks...

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Try this restructured code. It now extracts the page if it contains any of the keywords. A simple change of the new If statement shows how to extract the page if it contains all the keywords.

Code:
Option Explicit
