Acrobat SDK

I have created a Adobe acrobat plugin in C++. And we have different clients, so in our plugin code we have some constants and need to build .API file separately. We have code in github, and I am building using Windows Agent. As far as I understood, this requires Visual Studio required to build the project? Recently found there is c++ redistributable package from Microsoft which may help here... Anyone has suggestions here? Thanks

Hello, I tried many ways before posting here about creating a plugin for Adobe Acrobat. We have large set of users who are using Adobe Acrobat, my company built lot of services and one of it is compliance API. We like to check the compliance and sentiment analysis when someone is creating a PDF document and make sure the document is good and clean. So I am exploring options to trigger a panel or such to call backend API's and pass the selected text to the API and show results. Is there any possibility to extend Adobe Acrobat to support this ask? If you have any other alternatives or ideas please help! thanks

Dear all, Following this discussion on creating button to add/remove section in fillable form : https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/button-to-add-remove-section-in-fillable-form/td-p/12634155I started coding a similar form. I'm currently encountering the NotAllowedError when calling the newPage() functions or the insertPage() functions in my script. function test2() {    global.doc = this;    global.doc.newPage(); }Could anyone provide guidance ? Thanks in advance, 

Adobe Acrobat DC, Creative CloudOperating system Mac OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.5Memory 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3Graphics AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2048 MBI recently made use of the Print Production tools in Acrobat when fussing over a PDF that was having issues at the printer. All I did was select (click on) the Print Production tool. Now EVERY pdf I save from InDesign has the red outline of the trim area on it and I don't want that visible usually.I tried checking the options in InDesign and looked for how to deselect this option to no avail.I'm posting a screenshot below showing the outlines in the PDF so you can see what I'm referring to.PLEASE HELP!Many thanks in advance,Sally

One of the users here recently started getting the error"There was an error when attempting to commit this signature.  The document was not saved.  The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open.  Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder." when they attempt to sign a document (any document, we tried 10+ different documents) and save it to a network location. Basically when they add a signature to a document it immediately asks to save, and once they pick a network location to save it to, it then attempts to open the file under the new name/location and then it generates that error. So far it seems like it is correctly creating the new file (after seeing the error, if you navigate to that file and open it up it will be signed), but the user signs documents all day and wants to save to various network folders, so getting the error is very annoying and we'd like to figure out what the cause is and how to prevent it. It doesn't see

Hello, i created a form with date-fields, dropdown-lists, textfields, checkboxes and radio-buttons.By clicking on a checkbox some of the fields must be switched to read-only state and vice versa.By adding the following javascript code to the button-action the fields switch to read-only as intended but it only works on the PC version of acrobat pro. The form later should be used on a free version of acrobat reader on ipad. In acrobat reader the fields dont switch to read-only. Why does it not work on adobe reader? Is there a version/license difference causing this not to work or is there any mistake in my code? if (this.getField("Check_BPL").value == "Off"){ this.getField("testfield").readonly = true; } if (this.getField("Check_BPL").value == "On"){ this.getField("testfield").readonly = false; } 

Hello,im quite new to scripting in acrobat but i have to solve a problem that is above my knowledge right now.I created a form which contains dropdown-lists and date-fields. By clicking on a button the date fields should be empty. The dropdown-lists should show a single space-sign which is an element in their element-lists. So i need a script that searches the element-lists of all the dropdown-lists for the space-sign and selecting it to be shown. I started browsing for examples but couldn´t find anything to solve my problem.Can anyone help me please?

When I sign a document in Acrobat, I have a lot of color choices, but, other than black and a few shades of gray, most of the options look like what a middle-schooler would use to sign their friend's yearbook. Surely, we can do better than this:I believe that sometime in the past there was an option to retain the original color, but that's either been deleted or very well hidden.

Hello, Everyone! I'm still learning on how to prepare a form in Acrobat. I would like to ask your help on how to get the total multiplication of the Text Field 644 and Text Field 645 and adding the total sum of the execution score in one Text Field. See image for reference:Thank you!

I promise I wanted a more descriptive title but I don't even know how to describe what's happening. Every keystroke is behaving bizzarely. Extra tabs get inserted, the cursor doubles back on itself, I legit can't type anything. I'm having to type my code out separately and paste it in. Can't edit anything in the console itself. Here's a screenshot. Tried to type a function call addLineItem(); and this is what I got. 

Hi there,I know that there have been a lot of other thread like this one but for some reason my code isn't working.  I'm trying to have text inserted into a field when a check box is checked.  Can you please please help.For a mouse up event:    var dateCheckbox = this.getField("Date or");  //checkbox    var detailField = this.getField("Expiration Detail");  //field         // if the "date or" box is checked than change the Expiration Detail to "Hello"    if (dateCheckbox.value == "Yes") {          detailField.value = "Hello";         } 

Adobe recently introduced new interface for Acrobat Pro: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/new-acrobat-experience.html. However, I cannot enable it despite all conditions are met: x64 version, English language, no third-party plugins. I have two questions:1. How can I reliably enable and disable new experience in latest version of Acrobat Pro?2. How can I relocate the custom plugin menu to a better location with new experience enabled? Currently just one click is needed to open it. With new experience three clicks are needed: Hamburger menu icon => Plugins => plugin name. I'm wondering that regular user won't be able to find the custom plugin menu.Thank you,

How do I add 5 zeroes to field value, so when I input 1 it shows 00001 or 23 show as 00023?

I am able to make the current date and time populate a field.  However, I would like for it to allow the user to enter a date and time, and if nothing entered then default to the current date and time.  Is this possible?Current code I am using is this:this.getField("CompTime").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM", new Date());This gives me current date and time, but it cannot be changed.

This application is the single worst piece of technology I've ever seen. For 5 HOURS, we have been trying to convert an adobe acrobat file to a pdf or literally any other type of file because an adobe file is not manageable, since anything that you try to add to the file turns into little boxes with x's or gibberish, it is crazy, it makes you go crazy!!! Then on top of that, because the file got corrupted all of our work turned into little boxes with x's and we lost 11 pages of work. This issue has to be fixed since this could ruin many other people's hard work just like it did ours. Please be aware that the only reason we even used adobe acrobat in the first place was because we didn't have any other options!!!

Hi,I went to the help pages to see how to access the "compare documents" tool. It says to select Tools->Compare. However, my tools menu does not have that tool. On the help page there was a screenshot of the Tools screen (with all the tools icons). There were far more tools pictured there than what I have in my tools menu, including the Compare files tool. I don't understand why I don't have all the tools for Acrobat DC STD (2015)Thanks,JoycePS - I am posting this to "Creating PDFs" simply because none of the choices had anything to do with my question, so I just picked the first one on the list. If someone can direct me to the appropriate sub group, I will move this post to that group.

I feel like SUCH a scrub but I've never worked in Acrobat before. I downloaded all the extensions I need (I think) but when I add a JS action in my form and hit edit, I get an error in VS code saying the file path doesn't exist. I feel like I must be doing something out of order. 

Apologies if this has already been covered.I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and want to run a script on the digital signature field such that when the user clicks on the field, the application alerts them of any required fields that were left blank and won't let them sign/save until said required fields are filled in (text and radio buttons alike).If anyone can help me with providing the JavaScript for it - including what parameters or options I need to have said script setup - that would be wonderful!Thanks!

Trying to finish up a fillable pdf and am stuck on this last bit. Have a radio box where you can select one of 2 options, and need to get a signature box to appear when 1st radio option is selected.

Hello Adobe Acrobat Community, I'm encountering a puzzling issue with a PDF form that contains numerous fillable fields, including radio buttons. Whenever I merge this form with another file (be it another form or a regular PDF), some of the radio buttons inexplicably change their values, while others get reset and become empty.Has anyone experienced a similar problem? What could be causing this behavior, and how can I prevent it? Each field in the form has a unique name. No identical field names. I attached the files. Thank you for your assistance! Before merging (combine)  After merging:
