Hello,I have a form where I have multiple fields (awords, bwords, cwords, dwords, ewords).  I need the word counts from each of the 5 sections to add up into one total word count field.  I don't need to limit the words, I just need the total number of words from each of the sections to add up into the total words field. Since my IT department claims they don't really do javascript, I am on my own.  My team and I spending hours adding up each individual section to get total word count for form submitted to us. Having the word total added up automatically would be a total game changer.  Thanks for any help! Michelle

Hi, We have a java script function that signs a document from a pfx file.  This uses the signatureSign method.  It works using a .pfx file at the moment.  We are about to purchase a USB token device to sign documents.  This does not have a .pfx file and will import the signature into the Microsft Certificate Store.  I cannot find any examples of using the SignatureSign method with the Microsoft Certificate Store only with a .pfx file.  I have spoken to various people and they all seem to think it is possible, but do not know how to do it themseleves. How do I use the signatureSign method to sign from the certificate store or if you know another way to do it how do you do that? The code below is for the Pfx file.  It is a function in the javascript folder that you pass the signatures password and pfx file location to and it signs. DATL_SignFunc = app.trustedFunction( function (nPwd, nSigLoc, nAppearance) { // Additional code m

Hi   I want to create an add-on button tool, when the user clicks it displays a popup menu (popUpMenuEx), and this menu list some custom stamps, allowing the user to choose one.   I don't want to place the stamp on the page, I want the user to have the selected stamp on the cursor, so he just have to clic where he wants to place the stamp.   I know how to create a button and a popup, but I don't know how to select a stamp with JavaScript and I cannot find usefull information. Is it possible?   Thank you.

Does anyone know if this is possible ? I have a form that has the potential of 0 to 4 clients work of information to be filled out. If the person selects 3 clients I would like 2 client sections to appear, I know how to make a field "hidden" and visible. But is it possible for other form fields to move down automatically if more than one client is selected. So if there is 2 clients (when the option is selected) a second client section would appear but insert itself under the first client and then move everything else down automatically so it does not overlap.  Thank you

Hi,I have a dropdown menu ("Dropdown1"), that I need to populate with options from the object I have defined below.

 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.

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 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?

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
