Acrobat SDK

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?

Hi, I am still very much a js novice.I have managed to create a dialog box with my choices using the code given here https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/i-need-to-create-a-custom-dialog-box-containing-check-boxes/m-p/8950855?page=1 by George Johnson.  The code I have used follows below.I am at a loss, however, as to how I get the selection to execute.If the selection is Rad1 and the user clicks OK, then field "OC 1" must have the value of field "GP Loc 1" (I know how to do this :this.getField("OC 1").value = this.getField("GP Loc 1").value 😉 but where do I put this?I the selection is Rad2 then the focus must move to "OC 1" (this.getField("OC 1").setFocus) but again where do I put this?My modified code is: //Acrobat JavaScript Dialog //Created by DialogDesigner from WindJack Solutions var DocPrefs = { result:"cancel", DoDialog: function(){return app.execDialog(this);}, strGRP1:"", bChk1:false, GetRadioSel:function(oRslts,aCtrls){ for(va

I am trying to get annotation x y position. pdf js conver xy position to rectangle.i  need x y position of annotaion layer.

So a bit new to Acrobat. I have a ton of proposal PDFs I have to go through and pull out specific fields - and searching for some way to automate the process insteacd of opening each one and searching for the field and then copy and paste to word or excel. So say I have people that filled out Fillable-Proposal.pdf and sent it in. On each .pdf I need to delete the first and last pages and merge them into one giant .pdf. Is it also possible to somehow have something that finds Text_FieldA for each pdf and exports that text somewhere?Ugh - this is why you have people fill this stuff out online! That way you have a database you can pull from!!!

I have an interactive forms document. contains almost 200 elements: checkboxes and text field. it takes a lot of time to check the check boxes - if the names are not repeated (then when selecting one, two are marked). Is it possible to write an automatic test or script that will check if the names are not repeated? and how to write such a test? in what? where are I writing?

Greetings (I'm desperately seeking an answer to this, but I'll try to keep the rhetoric toned down!): Is there a way for Acrobat Pro (I'm current at 8.1.2) to convert a (static) XFA Form into the old AcroForm format? I have a large static XFA form (created in LiveCycle Designer), but the Java API that I'm using to pre-populate some values currently works only with the AcroForm format. FYI, there are two "informal workarounds" to be found on the net, but I can't get either of these to work in Acrobat Pro 8: o From Carl Young: "Create PDF -> From Web Page"; select the XFA form instead of a web page; Acrobats web page conversion tool would turn the XML inside the Designer form to a regular PDF. Only works in Acrobat 7. o From Ted Padova: "Document->Extract Pages" (static XFA only). This option is always grayed-out on any static XFA form I create. So unless there are other suggestions out there, would you say that my best option for an immediate solution is to track down a cop

Has anyone created an action, similar to the find and highlight, from the masterful Lori Kassuba, to create a count of the number of highlighted words in a document? I need to create a pdf, highlight a set of words/phrases from a list and know how many occurrences, preferably unique (that is to say, the first occurrence of each unique word/phrase highlighted) exist. Failing that, if anyone could point me to a resource for creating the action, that'll work too. Thanks in advance 😉

Hi All, I have a client who wants the field to be "bold" if a particular answer is selected from a combo box. I have been doing some reading around writing a script but I'm not super familar with this part of Acrobat.  Would this go into the javascript piece or formatting script. I create PDF forms but use a custom cloud based form software to collect the data and then it maps it over to the PDF and the user can print this out.  Will any conditional formatting even work in this case?  You don't have any of the mouse actions to trigger anything. Any help/direction would be great! Thanks!  

Hello,I would like to ask someone for help to create some code in javascript for the purpose of the information I put in the fields of a PDF file that I created that should be sent to a txt or excel file.I have Adobe Acrobat DC Pro.Best Regards,Paulo Cunha

 Here's a real head-scratcher. In the attached files, one notes ActionScript calls to seek a timepoint in an RMA, then Play. A Seek does, indeed, occur.  But in many trials, with many different video recordings, the buggy behavior is [to its credit] entirely, uniformly, consistent.  Follows my 'Findings of Fact': With certain compliant video files, Acrobat's 'Seek' command operates in this manner:  The Seek lands on the first frame of a scene-cut [in the original source footage] immediately preceding the Seek timepoint, rather than the timepoint stipulated by the <rm.callAS("multimedia_seek")> command. The first attachment utilizes encoded/compiled-in/enclosed video files [as well as two, secondary, networked examples], for their precise operation is most fully insured, being free of network entanglement and uncertainties.  The two compiled-in, Flash-dependent clips are identified by the default Flash Play icon being seen in
