Hello everyone,  I am very new at using Adobe Acrobat and I would need a bit of help for something I'd like to implement.I created a basic form to be filled by different people, at different time.

I would like the name proposal to be automatically linked to the number generated in the PDF. I would like to create something like: Save As ("Carte cadeau -" & this.getField.data) Does anyone knows how to implement suc

Hi, please I have been searching for how to do the following but I have not been able to get any workable answer for the topic below, I have a field with its description by the side of it,Now, I want the field description, which is by the side of it, to be a dropdown list, with selectable options, such that once a particular option of description is selected, it will affect the input result on the main field beside it. For Example: I have a list of:| 1. Discount by amount| 2. Discount by percentage| 3. Outstanding amount. If I select Discount by amount from the dropdown list as the description by the side of the text field; any amount I entered in the text field would be the discounted amount which will affect the “Due Amount” under it, by subtracting that entered discount amount from the “Due Amount”, if it is the Discount by percentage I selected on the dropdown as the text field description, any number I entered in the field would the percentage of the discounted amou

Hi,I need to determine if a character is a superscript or subscript. Using the PDWordFinder object, I find all the text on the current page of the document. Each character of this text refers to a specific PDWord object. I tried using the PDWordGetCharacterTypes method to get the attributes of each character, but I did not find the properties of a superscript or subscript among the character attributes. Then I decided that I could find these properties in the PDFont object of the current character. But there I also could not find the necessary properties. I would be grateful for any help.

How do I get this form published? It has simple math scripts inbeded in form fields. several attempts using 1. File > Save as other > Reader extended PDF > enable more tools (includes fill-in and save). Here is where I save it with a different name to the desktop but when the form is opened again the scripts are gone and the form  is useless.2. Then I tried, Tools > forms > distribute > Choose email > continue > send using Adobe Acrobat > give it an email address and it disapears somewhere. This form is for an organization and someone else is responsible for tabulating the responses, i.e., I don't need automated results coming back to me. Can someone help?

Hello, please I have this invoice I prepared with adobe acrobat form, I want to fill and sign the document pulling my signature credential from a pen drive I connected on the computer, in this way, everyone who can sign this invoice must have their signature credentials saved in their pen drive, which they can plug into the computer, select “new ID” and go their signature credential file on the pen drive, click on it and sign from there, and after signing, the credential should automatically clear from the “signature property”, such that the next person that wants to generate and sign an invoice from the same invoice template on the same computer will not be able to sign using another’s signature credential. The challenge I have here is that I created two signature credentials as a test, after entering the two passwords and signing with the both signature credentials from the same computer, when next I try to sign the document I discovered that I can select a name from the previou

Hello all, please I need someone to assist me in looking at the following currency script for Naira, I have searched and tried several approaches but don’t know why am not getting the right result in my form, the following is the script I picked from Thom_Parker's post on the same topic, from the following link: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/formatting_text_fields/, but it still did not work on my form. event.value = String.fromCharCode(0x0A3) + event.value; which by the above script description the following should give me the Naira currency symbol i need: event.value = String.fromCharCode(0x20A6) + event.value;  but instead, i get a bullet circle symbol on the field. i have used three different font type: "Open Sans", "Helvetica", and "Arial" but none of them gave me the sign, i have equally worked another clean page with a singular form field, yet i got the same result. The following picture is how my currency symbol should look like this

I've been looking for over an hour, so I apologize if someone has already asked this and I just can't find it!I have an order form with 5 lines of "quantity" and "unit price"; I need the "total" box to show the total of all 5 lines of their quantity times price. I know I could add another column of a subtotal for each line and then just add those subtotals up, but I think that's just cluttering up the form.

Hovering my pointer over text in the PDF, I can see there are hyperlinks and I need to edit them (to change the URL) but using the Forms "tool" doesn't show a field around/over the text and using "Remove Hyperlinks" under Edit PDF doesn't work either. Any ideas?

I need help on two JavaScripts: I have a field Num1, where people can imput their projected gross receipts. On the next line, Num2, I want it to calculate that if Num1 less than 25000, it should equal 0, and if the value is over 25000, a calcuation of Num1-25000 should occur.  I've tried several JavaScripts, but I can't seem to figure out the right one. Several lines down I also have a field, Num5, that I would like it to calcualte that if the value is less than 75, it should equal 75, and if it's over 500,000 it should equal 500,000. Help?

I was successful in creating some calculated fields using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, which added up the sum of the values from other fields and saved and exited and sent a copy to my personal computer to edit using PDF reader.  When i re-opened the original file using Acrobat XI Pro, to edit the calculations, the screen no longer displays any fields for selection or deselection for the calculation.  Its blank.  Has anyone run into this problem before? Has anyone figured out how to get around this?

Hi, I have two sets of 10 interdependent dropdowns.The first set is named "OC TFV YN 1" to "OC TFV YN 10"The second set is named "OC T YN 1" to "OC T YN 10"Each dropdown has options "Yes" and "No".No two dropdowns with the same number can be "Yes".e.g. "OC TFV YN 1" and "OC T YN 1" cannot both be "Yes".  They can both be "No" or one can be "Yes" and the other "No".What I want to do is, if the user tries to set both to "Yes" is to give a message that both cannot be "Yes" (this part was easy) and then reset both to "No".After searching the community, I have tried usingthis.resetForm(["OC T YN 1"]); this.resetForm(["OC TFV YN 1"])in the validation script for both dropdowns. The option "Commit selected value immediately" is checked on both dropdowns.Whilst the script works by resetting the "other" dropdown it does not reset the dropdown from which it is invoked.Any help would be appreciated.Raymond  

Hi all,Just wondering if anyone can assist I have created a PDF form in AcrobatXI and have formatted the text field as a Date Option as dd/mm/yyyy under custom.As I have XI version there is no Date Picker option which is fine I can get users to enter he date manually which is what my PC brings up and allows the user to enter in the correct date type(dd/mm/yyyy).Problem arises when I open the Form with an iPad mini from Adobe reader. Ver 20 of reader has a date picker option popup and actually quite hard to move away from the field once you select from the Date picker. I'm thinking this is some iPad issue and not AcrobatXI is tht right? Is there a way to disable the date picker somehow with Abode Reader? Or should I be formatting the field with Javascript?  Dont want the date picker !! Thanks in advance    

So here's a Javascript I'm using to check read only checkboxes: var v = event.target.value;var f = this.getField("Comp 1");f.value = v;var v = event.target.value;var f = this.getField("Comp 6");f.value = v;var v = event.target.value;var f = this.getField("Comp 11");f.value = v;var v = event.target.value;var f = this.getField("Comp 16");f.value = v; As stated, comp 1, 6, 11, and 16 are read only boxes. The checkbox that contains the above script is named "Selection 1". As shown in the script above, when "Selection 1" is checked, it checks 1, 6, 11, and 16. What I need to happen is that when those read only boxes are checked, it fills out a text field called "List", but in a list format as follows:Spades (this is Comp 1)Clubs (This is Comp 6)Diamonds (This is comp 11)Hearts (This is Comp 16) Instead of:Spades, Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts. I've tried to put the following script in Comp 1: if (this.getField("Comp 1").value!="Off")this.getField("List").value = "Spades";

Looking for some help with Javascript. i am hoping to have adobe display a specific text if my check box is checked off, and a default text when the box is not checked off. example, the tool that i am working on must allow the user to verify that all information is provided in certain cases, at the end of the form the user has the option of selecting if the information has "Passed" , thus when the check box is selected there is a text field on the previous page that should display "Pass".i would also like the text field to default to "Fail" when the box is not selected.hoping someone can help me with this. thanks,

Bonjour à tous,Je viens de créer un formulaire PDF via Adobe Acrobat DC, avec des champs image et signatures, sur mon PC.J'utilise une tablette de type Galaxy Tab 2 (Android) avec Adobe Acrobat Reader, et lorsque j'ouvre mon formulaire, les champs image et signature apparaissent mais il m'est impossible d'inserer une image.J'ai fait kk recherches avant de poster ce message, les résultats que j'ai trouvé, datent de 2015, où il était mentionné que certains champs et Java Script n'étaient pas correctement prit en compte par Android.Aujourd'hui nous sommes en 2020 et je voulais savoir si il y avait du nouveau concernant les fonctionnalités disponibles sous android... ? En vous remerciant par avance pour vos réponses.Bonne journée à tous. 

I have been using Acrobat Adobe for a while now and have been able to do basic calculations. I have not worked with the "Custom calculation script" and was wondering if someone can help me with the calculation, if there is one. I am wondering if there's a calculation for my statement below: If "A" has a dollar amount and B is blank, answer is A;If  both "A" and "B" have dollar amounts, fill answer with B. Your help is greatly appreciated. 

Good day,I'm troubled with some issues regarding Excel cells that needs to filled in by javascript code that's filled in the acrobat tab Custom calculated script. Normally I use this script for a pricelist thats been made up in excel. This code is:  var Waarde_1 =   this.getField("Waarde_1"); followed by:  Waarde_1.value = "...."; This works fine with the price lists, but the data for new documents, technical specifications, contains more detailed information and sometimes complete sentences. I always get a syntax error. How can I best do this?
