Hello Everybody,I’m new on the forum, so please be gentle if I have novice questions. I’m a graphic designer with a very limited (if any) programmer skills.I hope you can help me to find the solution for this Acrobat Javascript task. I have a pdf (this is the default one) and I need selected pages to link at the end of the this pdf. I mean there are about 10 checkboxes and the selected ones should link to the pdf (and also if it unselected should be dissapear again).The show/hide pages would be nice, but as I know it doesn’t exist in Acrobat.So my first questions are should I use– Page Templates,– Attachments (if it’s possible to link it to the same pdf) or– Layers?I tried the first one, so I made the Page Templates. It would be nice if we can have multiple pages in one Page Templates, but I suspect it doesn’t work.So I have these lines to add my two pages and it works fine:this.spawnPageFromTemplate(“Plan-A1”);this.spawnPageFromTemplate(“Plan-A2”);Is it possible to delete these spawne

I am trying to create a custom calculation script that will calculate an average using the HH:MM:ss format in a fillable PDF. The form has 12 fields to enter a time in the HH:MM:ss format, and I need to create a field that will average those 12 fields, and omit the fields that have nothing entered.

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

 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 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?
