Acrobat SDK

Good evening, my coworker and I are curious as to if we have to change any code within our scripts in order for an external program to execute our scripts?

Good evening, is there any way to access, and run a Javascript program from outside of Acrobat? Let's say that there is an external program that wants to run a document automatically, is there any way to have an external program run an Acrobat program at all?

The question is all there is to it:  Are there any other ways to extract text from a page besides getPageNthWord?Likewise, are there ways to make getPageNthWord faster?

I have a form with several drop downs and many text fields built in the latest version of Acrobat DC.I have added a submit button that tests for required fields before submission.It tests text fields OK, but if the drop down has ANY value including the default "Please select" it considers that as a valid answer, despite a script added to ensure the drop down is always set as a required field if the value = "Please select".I have added this script to the custom format section, and tried it in Actions, Validation and Calculate sections, but it always has the same result. The submit button ignores that the drop down setting as "required".I have scoured the web for hours, there are many suggestions but look  a bit complex and beyond my novice JavaScript skills.How do I get the submit button to check if a drop down that has the default value, and to treat it as an empty field like a text field? Appreciate any advice.

I'm trying to convert PDFs to single-page tiff using the Adobe SDK using C#, but I'm confused on several points.  I've searched this forum but still have questions.- Do I need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on my computer to accomplish this?  Or can I accomplish this WITHOUT having to drive the Acrobat Reader's GUI app?  In other words, I don't want to open the Adobe user interface and start driving the GUI app that way.  I just want to have my C# program open a PDF fileand export it to tiff, with nothing visible on the screen.- Which of the SDKs should I use?       - Acrobat DC SDK    - Acrobat XI SDK    - Acrobat X SDKI downloaded sample probjects for each but they have a project reference to "acrobat" which isn't a dll presentin the samples directory.   Is that because I'm supposed to have the Acrobat Reader installed on mymachine, and the project is referencing a Registry based COM dll?&nbs

from another field if another field is zero. This would go after the code: event.value=Number(this.getField("EE Net Prem").valueAsString)/ Number(this.getField("multiplier").valueAsString);

How do you create a button action that makes the button follow the user as they scroll through the PDF and when clicked it takes them to a specific page? For example, a button on the side of the document would follow the user as they scroll so that at any point they can click the button to return to the table of contents. I believe there is some type of javascript involved, but I don't know what it would be. Does anyone know? Thanks for any help!

I am creating an interactive form in Acrobat Pro and I would like to use Drop down menu entries to change relevant check boxes automatically please? So which ever drop down selection is made will trigger the relevant check box to be ticked on the form. How do you do that with Javascript please?

Hi there,Please can some one help me.I've been playing around with custom keystroke scripts and all has gone ok so far apart from this variation.I have a text field that has a RegEx test to allow only character 0-9, a-z & A-Z.Here's the code:var r = new RegExp("^[0-9a-zA-Z]*$");var result = r.test(event.change);if (result == true) {console.println("Here - stage 1 true")} else {console.println("Here - stage 1 false")};if ( result != true ){    event.change = "";    console.println("Here - stage 2 false");} else {    event.change.toUpperCase();    console.println("Here - stage 2 true");}What I'm trying to do with this one is allow the user to enter characters 0-9, a-z & A-Z.However, if the user enters any lowercase letter I'm trying to change it toUpperCase().So far I've not succeeded with this

The custom calculation script shown below is working for some users and then not for others. When it's wrong, it's REALLY wrong (like 11 months off) and the font doesn't even appear correctly. So far the 2 users who reported the issue use a Microsoft Surface. Could this be the problem or is it something else? Thanks for your time.var f = this.getField("Today");f.value = util.printd("dddd, mmmm d, yyyy.", new Date());Rachelle

For context, i created a dynamic stamp with some javascript that allows you to input text on a stamp before its place (I.e a name or a date). An issue I've run into while using the stamp is that when you save the PDF you're stamping in, the text you input into the stamp cannot be undone. I've deleted the stamp from the drawings and tried applying it again but the previous text I entered keeps reappearing, no javascript prompt asking me to change it. Is this something that can be fixed within the document? The only way I can get around it is to start over with a PDF that hasn't been saved with a dynamic stamp attached to it. The only issue is that sometimes a backup isn't a available - As I said, just wondering if there's a work around to fix this in the original PDF document.Thanks,Paul

HiI'm trying to extract single and multiple pages based on pre-defined page label names. Probably as an action.I understand the basics of extracting pages and page labels but can't tie it all together. Any pointers?Thanks

I have a text field ("Weeks") that I do not want to allow users to input 'Points', 'Pts', or 'pts' and I want it to clear the text when it falls into these parameters.I borrowed another code that I used to ensure a number was always negative and it worked - cleared the field when the word was input and everything:event.rc = (event.value != "Points");event.rc = true;if (event.value == "Points") {    app.alert("This field must be a week number or Float");    event.rc = false;}Then, in my searchings, I tried to incorporate additional statements to make the code work for all three instances:event.rc = (event.value != "Points" && event.value != "Pts" && event.value != "pts");event.rc = true;if (event.value == "Points" && event.value == "Pts" && event.value == "pts") {    app.alert("This field must be a week number or Float");    event.rc = false;}But this did NOT work.  Stopped clearing the fiel

I have a drop down menu in a PDF  called "selectedReg" that changes a text field.I have the following in the Custom calculation script for the text field:if (selectedReg=="1") event.value = "Text for option 1";else if (selectedReg=="2") event.value = "Text for option 2";else if (selectedReg=="3") event.value = "Text for option 3"; After the text is displayed, I need to add some additional text to it.  But when I click out of the text field it will keep reverting to the default value.Any easy way that I can make changes to the text field and make them stay?Thanks!
