Hi,I have an adobe form in which I need to calculate a value's variance from a range. For example, if the range is $1,000.00 to $2,500.00, and the value is $3,000.00, I need it to return a variance of $500.00. If the value was $1,500.00, I need it to return a variance of $0.00 since it falls in the range. There may be occasions in which the range is $0.00 to $0.00, in which case any value would be a variance. I have a built an adobe form with the following form fields:1.) Low End of Range (Set to $ Format) 2.) High End of Range (Set to $ Format)3.) Actual  (Set to $ Format)4.) Average (Set to $ Format, automatically generates the average based on the entry to "Actual" field)5.) $ Variance (Set to $ Format, automatically calculates the $ variance of the average to the ranges defined in 1 and 2 above)6.) % Variance (Set to % Format, to automatically valculate the % variance of the average to the ranges defined in 1 and 2 above) The problem I am having is when the user

I've been attempting to populate IRS tax forms with VBA.--For text-type fields, I can just set Fields(<field name>).Value to the desired string, and the value is correctly stored.--Checkboxes, however, although they appear to be populated when I view the form in the Acrobat window before closing it, come up blank when the form is next opened in Acrobat or Reader.--By browsing the internal PDF structure in Preflight, I find that my populating code has correctly set the checkbox value (V), the AP, and the AS values for the checkbox in the Fields object of the AcroForm. However, it has not set the correct values for the checkboxes in the tags in the datasets code of the XFA object, whereas it has done so for the text fields.--Call to Adobe's service line was of no avail; as soon as the operator heard the letters "XFA", she had all she needed to give me the brushoff: the form was created in LiveCycle Designer, it's not Acrobat's problem, I'll have to purchase Adobe Experience Manager

I have a work excel sheet with multiple columns (for security purposes we will pretend its a bank, where column A=account name B=account number C=co-account owner D=Amount in account) and 10,000 rows (lots of people in bank).  I have a PDF with a table that this information needs to go into, but not all 10,000 rows. I want to set it up where on my PDF in the blank table I can type column A, B, and C information and it will auto-search the excel document to auto-populate column D for that row.  Is this even possible to do? And is it possible to have the excel sheet embedded into the PDF so I dont need a second document? (non-tech savvy people at my workpalce). If it is possible, but impossible to have it embedded, please let me know!!!!

Hello,when trying to open PDF where some font is not installed document does not generate as should and outputs error. Under properties it says that font is embedded but does not seem like.Is it possible to embed font to be used where specific font is not installed?

Hello,  I'm trying to use javascript within adobe acrobat to make an external call using a web service and integrating with an SSO platform. While trying to pull the results of call back into PDF I get error "NotAllowedError: security settings prevent access to this property or method" Is there a way to surpass that setting? What would the implications be?

Is there any bug in the Java Script Modulo?I have to add to my form validation of an account number. The problem is that it is validating by modulo of 30 digits number. I did everything right but it came out that my accounts were wrong. Each one. So I checked one by one and looks like modulo is broken after reaching 24 digits.Just check this validation script: app.alert("10 digits - "+1000000000%10); app.alert("20 digits - "+10000000000000000000%10); app.alert("21 digits - "+100000000000000000000%10); app.alert("22 digits - "+1000000000000000000000%10); app.alert("23 digits - "+10000000000000000000000%10); app.alert("24 digits - "+100000000000000000000000%10); Any idea how to bypass that? I can't do anything else besides modulo by 97 to validate bank account.

Hi All,I am new to the environment, My requirement We created some custom fields for pdf document and we created a pdf form as well.

I often have the experience of using forms wizard in acrobat to create an acrobat form from an existing document and the wizard fails to find all of the "fill-able" fields.As an example, just today I took a patient information intake document that a local doctor had posted on his clinic's website. This document was a PDF but it was simply a "print it then fill it out by hand and turn it in" type of form. So after downloading it to my PC, I started Acrobat and forms wizard. I estimate that the form contained about 60 fields and Acrobat's forms wizard failed to see about 25% of those fields. Most of the missed fields were check boxes but some were text boxes.In the 8 years I have had Acrobat, this has been my experience the vast majority of the time and the percentage of fields missed varies but is usually around 20% to 25%. I end up having to edit the built form to add the remaining fields. This can be quite time consuming.Anyone have ideas on how to improve the Acrobat forms wizard so

Script in the document "will print" action executes only after opening print dialog box.Why it doesn't execute before opening print dialog box?I saw it in a different pdf file (unfortunately can't edit it because of security settings), where when I click print icon from menu item, it validates the form and then it opens print dialog box. But when I try it in my pdf form, it doesn't work.I want to execute the script before opening the print dialog box. Is there a way to do it? Please help me.

Looking to upgrade work documents. There's a lot of paperwork to fill out, sometimes repeating the same information multiple times. One aspect is that we have to lookup data on an embedded excel sheet that works kind of like a book. Column A = book title, B=Page, C=paragraph D=sentence and each row is a sentence. Is there a way to "attach" an excel sheet to adobe, and somehow write a program or format it so it will auto populate the D column if given the Columns A-C and they are all in the same row? I have heard Indesign might be a suitable program to make this, but still don't know how to implement it. I really don't want to make a matrix in java with all the data because there are THOUSANDS of columns. Any help is appreciated. 

Hi,I am creating a form in which I need assistance creating a JavaScript calculation. Section 1 - I have a section of the form in which there are four (4) fields to enter data for a specific customer:NameAddressPhoneEmailThere are four areas to enter this information (Customer 1, 2, 3, and 4).On the next page, in Section 2, there is a similar format requesting the same type information. In some cases, the information being entered may have already been entered for a customer in Section 1. Ordinarily, in MS Word, we would copy and paste, but there is not a way to copy and paste multiple fields for the end user.  I would like to setup a drop down menu with options to automatically prefill in Section 2.Example: In Section 2, I can select "Customer 2" from the drop down menu and the same data I entered in Section 1 will appear in the fields for Section 2. However, as I previously said, it is possible that the customers being entered in Section 2 would be completely different

In the program for the selected fragment, I create an annotation,I set the color of the annotation using the PDAnnotSetColor method.The fragment is painted in the desired color. Next, I need to look at all the annotations created on the page and determine their color. I wrote this code:int numAnnots = PDPageGetNumAnnots(pdPage); for (int i = 0; i < numAnnots; i++) { PDAnnot pdAnnot = PDPageGetAnnot(pdPage, i); if (PDAnnotGetSubtype(pdAnnot) == ASAtomFromString("Highlight")) { PDColorValue pdColorValue; if (PDAnnotGetColor(pdAnnot, pdColorValue)) { if (pdColorValue->space == PDDeviceRGB) { ASFixed red = pdColorValue->value[0]; ASFixed green = pdColorValue->value[1]; ASFixed blue = pdColorValue->value[2]; double value1 = ASFixedToFloat(red); double value2 = ASFixedToFloat(green); double value3 = ASFixedToFloat(blue); } } } }but an exception is thrown in the statement if  (PDAnnotGetColor (pdAnnot, pdColorValue)).

Hello, I am hoping to get some suggestions for the following: Example: I have a ListBox with multiple selections enabled. Let's say the values are ITEM1, ITEM2, ITEM3, ITEM4. Now say I have 4 CheckBoxes (Labelled: ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR) that will be checked depending on which ListBox items are selected. So if the user selects ITEM2 and ITEM4 from the ListBox, the respective CheckBoxes TWO and FOUR will be checked. Any idea on how to accomplish this? I am sorry if this is a novice question however I am not the most advanced user. Thank youLouis

When using a link to a PDF in SharePoint I can not check out and it downloads to my local folder.  How can we make so when the workflow link is clicked we get the option to check out, edit and save back to SharePoint?  Our IT Guys have changed SharePoint config so when we open any PDF in SharePoint it give us the option to check out, but this does not work for links to PDFs.  We have both Adobe Acrobat Reader an Adobe Acrobat Pro DC with the same result.  I've read many threads about this with little clear solutions. Any help is greatly appreciated!  Thanks.

I'd like to have a checkbox field named Multipstep, when selected, to trigger the default notification popup with a message I've configured. I don't see this as an available option in Actions, so I assume it requires JavaScript. Anyone know how I'd code this?

Hi all,based on the selection that the user has to make in a combo box I want a value to be written into another field, I tried the following code but it does not work:----var Land = this.getField("combo1").value; if (Land == "Afghanistan") {event.value = 20;}if (Land == "Ägypten"){event.value = 28;}if (Land == "Äthiopien"){event.value = 26;}----Any hints why? Kind regards Matthias

Hello,I've been surfing the web for this one for a while. I'm using Adobe acrobat standard 2017 and I'm creating a form in which I have multiple different sections. I wish to add a button which would trigger the duplication of a section (with its fields). This button would be named "Add new objective". Note : the action button would be different then "create a new page". I'm guessing its a Javascript command. Anybody have any experience regarding this type of command? Thanks!

Hi all, I currently have a working script that saves the PDF to a fixed location depending on the user input. Everything seems to work, however, if the user adds some digital stamps to the PDF before running the script, the file size increases (the stamps are less than 1mb, but the file becomes > 10mb) and each time they run the script, it will increase the file size two folds (Double) Is there any way to fix this or is there a way to run the optimize PDF or a regular "save as" that doesn't save the overhead from scripting?
