Acrobat SDK

 This would seem to be straightforward, but I'm stumped at the moment.  Assume I'm quite adept with Acrobat Pro, knowing Image manipulation operations, and the Action Wizard, fairly well. Assume that, though I've utilized limited JavaScript successfully, I'm far from expert, there. Objective (upon a singular Button event): Display a given image, at a given location.  

I am using adobe XI pro to create forms and JavaScript. On the iOS device I am using the pdf expert app to utilize scripts. Is it possible to insert a photo using the devices camera? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Where can I find an Acrobat expert to help with a project I would like to do.  I would like to create a dynamic form the is connected to a spreadsheet and allows images to be inserted.  It would pull variables from the spreadsheet.   I am willing to pay for the consultation. 

My all-in-one scanner has an auto document feeder which allows me to quickly scan multiple pages, duplexed if needed, to a pdf. The problem is that when scanning to PDF, there is no light/dark slider adjustment like you have with the copy and print function. It copies and prints fine but when going to pdf, the grayscale scans are alway washed out and don't come close to 100% Black. I have Acrobat, Photoshop, Indesign, etc and was looking to a way to automate opening up each image from the pdf page and applying a level or curve adjustment in photoshop as this would be to time consuming on a large document. Could this be done with a script of some sort?I could scan to tiffs and then batch correct the images and then place in InDesign with an import script and save the pdf but it seems there should be an easier way.Thanks

Hello all, I currently have a dropdown menu with the following options: FHA, USDA, VA, Uninsured, FNMA, Conventional Insured. What I need is a script that based on the selection from the dropdown, it will take information from another field in the form (UPB) and multiply it by a specific number (the numbers are different based on the dropdown selections). Is there a way to create a script to achieve this?  I only know what I've learned from poking around in acrobat myself--any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, Is it possible to apply a dynamic custom stamp to every pages of a PDF file, print it, and then save it?I already have the following working in javascript console, and I would like to be able to apply the following code to many PDFs not involving the javascript console so my user don't have to copy/paste the code in the javascript console. for(var j=0;j < this.numPages; j++){this.addAnnot({page: j,type: "Stamp",author: "cyeung4",name: "BERS Time Stamp",rect: [454, 510, 538, 641],AP: "#ZJ1LQSvWRiacxXY_xMhkgC" });}this.print({bUI: false,bSilent: true,});app.execMenuItem("Save");

My previous communication was not the best, so try again 🙂 Looking for a solution how I can count the empty text fields with javascript. Something like excel with COUNTBLANK ().  Any help and approach is welcome Thanks,Nikolaos.

Last month I set up a date printed on multiple pages of a document through the creation of a field and running the javascript.  However, since getting a new laptop and requesting the IT dept to download the Adobe Pro DC I have been unable to do this.  I went through the process as the first time but whenever I try to enter in the javascript, I am not getting the OK button to proceed.  What I see is a Go to button and when I select this, it asks for a Line Number?Using Windows 10 now and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it?Help appreciated  

I have an adobe template that everytime I spawn a new page, the spawned page is blank. There are not field at all. Why is this happening?

I have a PDF which has a number of check boxes. I want to be able to either highlight the text next to a check box when the box is selected or bold the text. Example below. Anyone done something similar? 

I have the following code which is just draft at the moment as I build it up, but I want to bold the text when the checkbox value is on: if(event.target.value=="Off"){ this.getField("Text11").value = "Hmmm"; } else { this.getField("Text11").value = "WORK"; } So, in this instance when the box is ticked I want the 'Text11' field to display 'WORK' which it is doing, but I want that text to be bold. Can someone help me with the code for doing this?

PDF programming issue: I have a Certificate of completion (currently in JPG format) that I issue to Customers on a Wordpress-based website I am building.

I want to program this capability into my website. Any specific advice is appreciated! Thank you, John  2-12-2020

Hi: I am trying to figure out a way to underline only part of a "string" (if i'm using that correctly) I have a paragraph that auto populates based on a custom calculation script. I used the follwoing in the script in the custom validation script section wich underlines the whole paragraph. I would like to only underline the first two words of the paragraph. var span1 = {};span1.text = event.value;span1.underline = true;event.richValue = [span1]; Any suggestions or solutions.

Hello, Totally out of my realm of expertise here, so please forgive if the title doesn't contain any of the proper keywords or if this question is better placed somewhere else. We have field operations that require constant reference to a large PDF document created by our organization in FrameMaker (1594 pages) that gets updated at least twice a year, sometimes as often as six times.  It's referenced by multiple teams simultaneously on a shared network from iPads and desktops. What we're wondering is if we can have users click a string of text (that would obviously be a button or a link of some kind) and have that string sent to a central data collection point on the network.  This is where we'd like to start.  Our tentative possible end goal is collecting the string, a user ID, and being able to remove the string from the data if there was an error. In case it's helpful, the PDF is an aircraft parts catalog with diagrams and part numbers and chapters

Hi Acrobat Community, I'm trying to get an average of six fields, with the option of skipping blank fields or N/A, and have the value autofill a seventh field. It looks like this: I've searched all over these forums and many others and I've found a few ways to do this. The one I've settled on was made by try67 on these forums. The problem I believe I'm running into now is that, no matter what I do, I can't get an array to call back to my function. The code I'm using looks like this: function calcAverage(aFields, bIgnoreBlanks, bIgnoreZeros) { var total = 0; var n = 0; for (var i in aFields) { var f = this.getField(aFields); if (f==null) { console.println("Error! Can't locate a field called: " + aFields); continue; } if (f.valueAsString=="" && bIgnoreBlank) continue; var v = Number(f.valueAsString); if (isNaN(v)) continue; if (v==0 && bIgnoreZeros) conti

Hello,  I'm wondering if there is a chance to lock zoom level of a specific page in my document (using acrobat pro), so the end user could not change it. I know there is a chance to set a default zoom level, however it does not restrict a possibility to zoom in and out for end user.  If there is no chance do to it using ootb tools, is it posissible to achieve it using javascript tool in Acrobat?

 Hello Community. I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I’d like to do a Dynamic Stamp with an incremental number. So for example, I click on a stamp that says “SPOOL”, and each time it’s applied to the page the number would increase i.e. “SPOOL 1″, “SPOOL 2″, “SPOOL 3″, etc….  I would like also that countinous numbering could be edditable. So I could stop my actuall stamping and start again with “SPOOL 2″  for example. Is it possible in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

Hi - I am new with javascript and seem to be hitting a bunch of dead ends. I am trying to create a form with multiple check boxes, Based on the selection of text boxes a full letter will populate. Right now I am using scrip that looks like this  var a = this.getField("options").value;if(a == "a"){event.value = "Option A paragraph";}else if(a == "b"){event.value = "Options B paragraph";}I have done this script for all 10 chck boxes and have 10 coressponding text box fields to popoulate the informaton in.  But I am now realizing that the paragraph options are all different lengths and the letter would have to be formatted each time. Is there a script that would auto format all the paragraph spacing? or should I use one big long text box (but it would have to be multiple pages) with a long script.  Last question: can you format paragraphs with javascript ? Thank you   

Hi - I am working on a PDF form that uses a custom javascript to auto fill text boxes based on check marks. Becasue there a few different selections is it possible to write a script that will auto format the whole document, so all of my paragraphs are equally spaced and paragraphs/lines wont have to be pushed up or down when the form is complete ?  Thank you
