Acrobat SDK

I am using Adobe DC. I am trying to enter a simple equation in the "Simplified field notations:" feature under the Calculate tab in my text box named, "OverallPercentage" (without the quotes). I click the radio button for Simplified field notation: then click the edit button and the "Create and edit javascripts" window pops up. I enter the simple mathematical operation, "GrandTotal/488" (without the quotes). I click the "OK" button and the Calculate tab reappears with the Simplified field notation box empty and the radio button unselected but the "Value is not calculated" radio button is selected (this is the default configuration). It's though my inputs were completely ignored. I do not know what is going on! I have researched this problem and cannot find any answers and I am following all of the many tutorials to accomplish this seemingly simple task. Does anyone know what I am missing?[Adobe is the COMPANY name... but there is a program named Acrobat DC][Moved from non-technical For

Hello, I am a beginner to Acrobat javascripting and I would love to find a way to show and hide pages at the end of my document based on the selection in my dropdown menu.  I have attached the dropdown box and the pages I would like to be visable when picking the first selection are numbered 54-56.  Pages 54-92 would be invisible before making the selection.  Is this possible and if so, could someone help me with the script needed?  Thanks so much for the advice/help. Best wishes,  Ian. 

On Windows 10, using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.  Have 1300 .msg files.  Each have a .txt file attached.  Want to convert the .msg file *AND* the .txt attachment to PDF.   Have attempted multiple processes to convert to PDF, but cannot get anything to work.  Does someone have some ideas or a solution to this? Is there an Action Wizard for this?    Would ideally like to convert/combine them ALL, but any help is appreciated!

I have a PDF with a page that collects 'building information,' and the user needs to be able to repeat that page up to 10 times to add additional buildings. I don't just want 10 pages of the same fields in case someone only needs to fill out one building page. I'd like a button to 'add additional buildings' that will open one more building page to fill out (etc. etc. until they've reached 10, if desired). Is there a way to hide duplicate pages, and have a button trigger those hidden pages to show up to be completed? 

Hello!  I've never written a custom calculation, so I'm lost; could someone please help me write one to round up/down at .50/.49 with this field name:CreditedTotalLocal+OtherHEFor example, if the value of this field - which is the result of the "Value is the sum(+) of the following fields" function on two fields named CreditedXXXXLocalHE and CreditedOtherHE - is between 3.0 and 3.49, this field should be 3.0.  If the value is 3.50 to 3.99, the field should show 4.0.I'm sure this is very simple, but I've tried some things from this and other forums with no luck.  Please help!Thanks in advance,Kim

Hey folks, I have an evaluation form that is pretty straightforward, in which an evaluator determines a score of 13 criteria by selecting a value of 1-10 in a dropdown.  The dropdown has a blank value (perhaps a single space?), then 1-10 as individual options.  I have a text field that calucates the average of these scores through normal Acrobat functionality. The owner of the form, however, would like for the average to be calculated only by the specific dropdown boxes that have an actual selection. So, if the evaluator has only selected 8 values of the 13 possible, the average is calculated on those 8, rather than providing 5 false "zeros" into the calculation.  I hope this makes sense.  The dropdowns are named sequentially (Score_1, Score_2, Score_3...).   My Javascript is not strong, and I'm not sure how best to code a solution.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi, I am trying to generate a pdf by selecting the content in the UI in angular, each page should have a header and footer sticky, content should be overflowed to the next page.

I'd like to use the Embed PDF API for displaying (and annotating) a PDF document within a Blazor WebAssembly application. The Web application should (also) run as a Blazor Hybrid App (WPF Desktop). We don't use this in production, only for local UI debugging purposes because it's way more performant and development roundtrip times are much better than launching and debugging a Blazor WebAssembly app in the browser. The problem with this is that the locally hosted Blazor Hybrid app has window.origin='https://0.0.0.0' (or window.location.href='https://0.0.0.0'. This is not configurable and I found no trick to set this to some dummy value (e.g. 'http://localhost'). The problem now is that I can't register an API key for the PDF Embed API using an IP address (here '0.0.0.0') as the domain. I can register 'localhost', but not '0.0.0.0'. Any workaround for this? Please please please allow me to register '0.0.0.0'.

I have been researching and reading through various sites and forums to try and develop a JavaScript and I just cant seem to get it right.I am developing a form using Adobe Acrobat Pro where the first field on a line requires the user to enter a date into a date form field. I am trying to develop a JavaScript where, until the date is entered, all the other form fields on that same line do not appear. I have named the other form fields 1.a, 1.b, 1.c, 1.d, 1.e, 1.f and 1.g. There are 15 lines to the form so ultimately I don't want any form fields to show until a date is entered on any of the lines. Any help would be appreciated - I am going a little insane trying 🙂

Dear Adobe Support Team,I am a university student and I am interested in developing a plugin for Adobe Reader to add extra functionality to the web and mobile PDF reader, specifically for iPad and Safari. I have read the official Adobe documentation, but I found the licensing process somewhat confusing. Could someone please explain the necessary steps and requirements for obtaining the appropriate licenses? Additionally, I would like to know the complete process for developing and integrating this extension Olso I want so sell it for other student. Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your guidance on how to proceed.

I have formatted a text field into a Date format in the yyyy-mm-dd format.  This input for this text field is then used for a seperate calculation so its important the user only enters in the above format.  The above format works but there are two corner cases: Corner case 1:If the user enters 2024-05-5 it will autocorrect to 2024-05-05. While the displayed value is correct the user input is wrong and it affects other calculations. To fix this i added validation code to force user to enter at least 10 charachters.  var minAllowedChars = 10; if (event.value.length>0 && event.value.length<minAllowedChars) { app.alert("Invalid date format"); event.rc = false; } Corner case 2:The second issue is if the user enters blanks. For ex. if the user enters "2024-03-4 " it will autocorrect to 2024-03-04. While the displayed value is correct the user input is wrong and it affects other calculations. I tired to add validation code to not allow s

The official example website is also not working：This application domain (https://xxxxxx) is not authorized to use the provided PDF Embed API Client ID. 

I am trying to set up configurations for printer settings but I am unable to add my custom settings to a favorite.

I have a form with a submit button that sends the form to certain email address.  I have a check box for a specific part of the form that when checked, would add another email to the submit button.  The submit button works fine but i can not figure out how to get it to look at the check box and if checked, add an additional email address when it is submitted.  

Ok, so this is my first time asking a question on here.  I am new to Acrobat, and creating Forms, with very, very entry level javascripts.  Here is what I am trying to do:1. I have created a "quote document" that we will be using on a mobile platform.2. Originally, I created a text field that automatically updated the number of the "Quote Number" field by 1 everytime it was opened.  3. However, it updates only when the document is saved as the same name as the original file.  So I deleted this.  4. A workaround for this I believe would be to autogenerate a number in a field, in my case the field name is "Quote Number".  The number should read:4 digits yr, 2 digit month, 2 digit date, time and seconds.  There has to be a common request for this? Again, If you could provide some basic instructions on how to insert this into my document as well it would be appreciated.  5. When the document is opened, this number would generate. However, once the do

I am using Adobe OCR in My Python application to extract the text from PDFs.There is a limitaion with Adobe OCR which allows only 400 pages to be extracted.Any features available to extract PDFs more than 400 pages in Adobe OCR versions or any alternatives?

Hi, I am having trouble developing a script to silently uninstall Adobe Acrobat 9.0. In the registry editor, I notice there are two entries for this program only one of which has the uninstall string, which I find odd. Two registry entries for acrobat When I try to run that msiexec /I {AC76BA86-1033-F400-7760-000000000004}, it simply pops open a dialog box with information about the msiexec command.  Has anybody encountered this before? Any tips on how to uninstall successfully would be greatly appreciated, I'm still quite new to PowerShell scripting. This should be easy to do with the msiexec command no? Or is there a better way? It is a 32 bit version of acrobat btw.

I'm looking for a way for our Acrobat plugin to store some document-wide information in a PDF file. The info would be a simple list of strings. The list of strings would be displayed and edited in a dialog box displayed by our plugin. The user would later select one of the strings when using our plugin to add one of our Acrobat plugin's custom annotations to the PDF file. Multiple annotations can be added to the PDF. The idea is for the list of strings to be stored in one place in the PDF and for each of our plugin's annotations to store an integer index into the list of strings in the dictionary associated with the annotation. So far I have these ideas:  APPROACH #1: Store the list of strings in the XMP metadata in the PDF file  This approach would use the functions PDDocGetXAPMetadata() and PDDocSetXAPMetadata() or PDDocCountXAPMetadataArrayItems(), PDDocGetXAPMetadataArrayItem(), PDDocSetXAPMetadataArrayItem() I r

Hello everyone!I tried different solutions, which I've already found, to open the signature box ("Fill & Sign") with a button, but had no luck. app.execMenuItem("OpenApp_FillSignApp"); app.execMenuItem("FillSign"); app.execMenuItem("_BasicEchoSignPane"); What would be the right statement? Awesome would be if it would open with the "draw" option.  Thank you for any useful advice!Kind regards,f.

Hi all,I search all over to download older version of Acrobat Pro, InDesign, Bridge and Illustrator? I have the serial number and talked to the license team which they were unable to help me. Please help!

Even in a very clear image of English text in a sans-serif font such as Helvetica, OCR produces numerous artifacts and recognition errors. And many of those don't show up as 'suspects' and may not be visible in Edit mode — only when exported as text. Results are way below what I could get from separate OCR 10 years ago. How can I get more usable text recognition?

I want to export a file attachment located in a page with a javascript.I tried like that:var annotObj = this.getAnnots(this.pageNum)[0];var attachObj = annotObj.attachment;console.println(attachObj.name);this.exportDataObject({cName: attachObj.name});And I expected the typical security popup, which does not appear.What am I doing wrong here?

📄💡 Question for the Adobe Community: Can Adobe Document Generation API support PDF templates directly?Hey Adobe Community! Based on my research, it appears that creating a PDF template currently requires using a Word template file along with JSON data mapping. However, I'm wondering if there's a way to achieve this same functionality using a PDF template file instead of a Word file.I understand this functionality is supported through the ANVIL platform. Can anyone confirm if there's a similar solution available through Adobe Document Generation API? I'd appreciate any guidance or insights you can provide!Thanks in advance for your help!

did anyone find the way to run adobe enhance scanned files using SDK? I tried OCR from sdk and it gives different result compared to the option we have in the standalone adobe application.
