I'm working on a RPG character sheet..I'm trying to calculate a characters total armor class..I have all the fields set up and labeled..The total AC bonus = 10 + DEX mod+ proficiency bonus +item bonus..I have a field that already calculates and generates the "DEX Modifier" field.The problem is, if you wear a suit of armor it allows you to add your Dex modifier to the ac totalBUT only upto the armors max..Let's say you wear leather, it allows you to use only +4 max bonus.So if I have a Dex mod of say +5 it needs to only add the +4 ..My fields in question is "Dex modifier","Ac Dex modifier", " ac Dex modifier max"I've tried var A = this.getField("DEX Modifier").value;var B = this.getField("ac Dex mod max").value;If (A>B) {event.value = B}So if ac Dex mod = Dex mod,But if the Dex mod is greater than the ac Dex mod max, the Dex mod @= ac Dex mod maxAny help is greatly appriciated

Hi everyone, I have a PDF form that I've created for my team to help make creating contracts easier. Essentially what it does is it has a bunch of form fields on page 1 that fill in all the appropriate information on all the other pages. I've then created buttons that print just the pages we need, which vary for different people. This system works great for printing, but I'm trying to come up with a better solution for saving. Here's what I want:On a button press, a certain set of pages should be extracted from the PDF, flattened, and then a Save As prompt should appear. But I haven't been able to figure out how to apply scripts to the extracted pages, instead of the original. For example, if I use this code:this.extractPages(1,3);this.flattenPages();app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");then the pages are extracted correctly, but the original PDF is then flattened and saved, not the new extracted PDF. This is what I've been doing as a workaround:this.deletePages({nStart: 4, nEnd: 7});this.delete

I am trying to convert an Excel expression/formcalc script that essentially divides the totals of two fields provided on a PDF form. One field may include a total entered on a another page.  The formcalc script I am currently using works, and is listed below.  Is there any chance someone might be able to help me with converting to javascript?  Thanks so much!if(Page1.Total_undupl ne 0 & HasValue(Page1.Total_undupl)) thenTotal_al_instr / Page1.Total_unduplelse nullendif

I have 36 Adobe documents with roughly 2500 pages in each one of them.  I need to export the pages out of each one of those documents based on a list of identifiers I have in an excel sheet that would show up on the pages in the pdf.  Please help

I'm having some issues with this script. I've used it successfully, but slightly different than this version. I have confirmed each checkbox has a export value, but I can't get it to display the checkboxs' export value within the text field I have it assigned to.I'm using this in the "custom calculation" section:var ybl = this.getField("Length.Youth").value ;var abl = this.getField("Length.Adult").value ;if(ybl <= 31) {    event.value = (ybl.value) ;}if(abl >= 32) {    event.value = (abl.value) ;}

Hello,I am trying to create an employee evaluation form. I'd like the calculated field to be the sum of the check boxes then divided by the total number of categories (6). Eachcheck box has the appropriate export value according to the rating (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).So if an employee was rated all 5s across the 6 categories they would average out at a 5. (5 rating x 6 categories / 6 categories). Any help on how to accomplish this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Believe or not but I couldn't find the answer. I have two fields. Field1 and Field2. Field1 calculates. If and when Field1 is populated then I would like to show and populate Field2 with a phrase, not the total from Field1. Then if Field1 is not populated then to hide and reset Field2. Can someone help me solve this? Thank you all.

I currently have an 8 page PDF form and at the end of the document I would like to have a button that would export / save, as one long PDF page. Is this a possible?

I have a submit button on the form I'm creating. 1) After researching various examples, I have the following JS set up:var emptyFields = [];for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {     var f= this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));     if (f.type!="button" && f.required ) {          if (f.valueAsString==f.defaultValue) emptyFields.push(f.name);     }}if (emptyFields.length>0) {     app.alert("Error! You must fill in the following fields:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n"));}It seems to be working but it still allows the document to be sent by email after clicking OK on the warning window.  Any ideas on how to fix that?  Ideally, I would like the user to be returned to the form to finish completing the document.2) Is there a way to send the form in a read only format without changing it for the user?  I'm noticing in my tests that when I have t

Hello All,I am attempting to create a simple dialog box with a dynamic number of checkboxes. My goal for the dialog box is to take a number the user selects beforehand (in a separate dialog) and create that many checkboxes. I can successfully prompt the user to enter the number of checkboxes desired, but I'm having difficulty looping through the "initialize" and "description" properties of the dialog box to create the desired number of boxes.Any help you all could provide would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.

This should be pretty easy. I made a drop down with rather long entry listings. The selection from the drop down shows into a text field (multi-line). What I wanna do is control how the text flows in the text field. I wanna break the line of text where I want it to break to the next line. In essence making a double space or single. I've tried placing the \n and \r in the drop down listing but that didn't do anything. So, I was wondering how that would be done (or even if it's possible). Can someone help me figure this out? It's driving me a little more nuts. Thanks.

Hello all, I really hope someone can help me with this issue. (I'm not a hugely well-educated javascripter, so please feel free to assume zero knowledge in your responses...)(I'm running Acrobat DC)I have a form that contains a LOT of fields. the form is called "front.pdf". The fields are arranged on it in 32 rows of sixty fields (I know: that's a LOT!). Each field is named as follows:A.01, A.02, A.03, A.04 ... up to ... A.59, A.60B.01, B.02, B.04 ... => ... B.59, B.60The rows go up to Z, then AA, BB up to GG. (All rows go from 1–60)There is another pdf form, called "back.pdf" that is attached (as an attachment) to the first. It contains the same amount of fields, named exactly the same way, the only difference on this one is that the rows run from 60 down to 1 rather than from 1 up to 60.Each cell, on both forms, will have a value that is either empty: ("",) or the lowercase letter Z: ("z").I'm trying to write a script that, when attached onMouseUp to a button on the parent pdf (fr

Acrobat DC Pro on Win 10 Pro.I have created a dynamic stamp and called the file "Receipt.pdf". I want to use it to signify that my invoice has been paid by my client.There are two text fields, one above the other, the first to show the current date and the second field I want to generate a dialogue for me to insert particulars of the payment, e.g., a cheque number or other identifier.When I apply the stamp to the pdf invoice, the date field works fine, but no dialogue is generated. So the stamp appears with the current date and a blank space beneath it.The "custom calculation script" for the date field is:event.value = (new Date()).toString();AFDate_FormatEx("dd mmm yyyy");The script for the dialogue field is:var cAsk = "Enter Receipt Details" ;var cTitle = "Receipt Details" ;if(event.source.forReal && (event.source.stampName == "#Receipt")){  var cMsg = app.response(cAsk, cTitle);  event.value = cMsg;  event.source.source.info.exhibit = cMsg;}I am ignorant about

Hello everyone, I'm trying to create a group of fields that would have pre-populated text in the export value. Then combine those fields into one, which would make a complete sentence (or paragraph) of those field values. For example, Field1 would have "We propose to install". Then in Field2 would have the (total footage) "of 8' high CLF". In Field3 would have the total footage then "8' high WIF". In Field3 would have pretty much the same but this would be "of 8' high Wood Fence". Giving me the choice to show/hide the particular fields.Is this something that can be done using javascript? I don't know enough but I'd like to learn. Or, does anyone know of a way to accomplish something like this in a PDF. I'd like to create a short cut to be able to put the combinations into a job description. If you can show me how to create the first one, then I can do the rest. Thank you all so much.

Hello everyone, I am new to using Acrobat. I have ten (10) pages named page 1 through page 10. I'd like to have page 1 have a drop down box and a button. The drop down box would have number 1-5.A default selection in drop down box would be 1. The default setup for the PDF would be pages 1-4. I would like it if the user selects number 2 from drop down box, then I would like page 5 added to PDF. If user selects value 2 from drop down box then page 6 would be added to PDF.If user selects value 3 from drop down box, then I would like page 7 added.To be clear...the default setup would be pages 1-4 visible. Pages 6-10 as non-visible. Then depending on selection an additional page (from page 5 to 10) would be added to PDF.Also I would like after user picks number 1-5 from drop down box that the user has to press the button to actual have the above action to happen.And if possible I would like a selection to delete or hide a selection made an error. Like if they wanted to select value number 2

I have the following script in my "Documents JavaScript." It is my understanding putting the script in "Documents JavaScript." should cause the script to execute each time the document is opened.The intent is to look at three fields in a specific row... if all are $0.00 and a date has been put in the date field for that row, then remove the date. If any one of the three checked fields has a value >$0.00 then leave the date. The field is defaulted to currency, thus the Dollar sign. I have tried both with and w/o the "$." This is repeated 8 times as there are a possible 8 rows all with the fields as noted in the script.This is not working on testing. What am I missing or is this not going to work as is?var v1 = this.getField("FUEL COST TOTAL1").value;var v2 = this.getField("REEFER COST TOTAL1").value;var v3 = this.getField("DEF COST TOTAL1").value;var v4 = this.getField("DATE_FS1").value;var v5 = this.getField("FUEL COST TOTAL2").value;var v6 = this.getField("REEFER COST TOTAL2").valu
