Acrobat SDK

To clear things up a little bit:Field1.value = Test (this one is copied to Field 2)Now Field1.value is changed to “Tester”. As I have multiple fields which are copied into a list on another page, I have to check, if destination field value equals the initial field value of Field1 (“Test”) and if so, overwrites it with the new value “Tester”. If not the Field1.value should be copied into an empty field.

Hi, I am trialling Adobe for its PDF document comparison feature.I have just compared two documents which are largely identical, same formatting etc.  If I use the comparison tool for 'text only', then everything comes up as deleted and inserted again and so I can't see what has changed.  If I don't tick the 'text only' box, then it's a bit better and recognises some of the same text, but there is a huge amount of highlighting text that is exactly the same as having been reinserted.  This means that the process of looking for changes is actually very lengthy and it doesn't save that much time.  Can someone please tell me if this is as good as it gets or if I am doing something wrong?Thank you in advance.Francis

Is there a way to search and highlight multiple text items in a document?

I'm looking to streamline fill in-able pdf letters my company uses. The multi-line field is for  name and address, with each line separated with a line break (Enter/Return key press). Right now, its setup with the multi-line field for address and a separate single line "Dear..." field that are separately filled in. The single line field also has a script to insert a coma after the user types the addressees name. What I'm looking to do is have a script that will read the first line in the multi-form field (addressees name) and automatically populate that name in the single line "Dear..." field AND preserve the auto population of the coma on the single line field. This would probably a lot easier to explain and even do myself if I had a working knowledge of Javascript, but I digress...

Hi,I used to be able to password protect all files in a particular folder on my Adobe 9 Pro by using batch processing. I've followed instructions on how to do this in DC using the Action Wizard but cannot get it to apply the password at the folder level. Whenever I try and apply the password it prompts me for passwords for each individual file within the folder. Has anyone an idea of where I'm going wrong?Thanks

I am using eCopy PDF Pro Office 6.1  I've created fillable forms in it before and was able to print them with all of their content; however, now they are printing completely blank- and only the content that is typed into the fields print.  Usually I create the form template in Word, save it as a PDF, and then in PDF Pro, I use the "FormTyper" option in "forms"- it automatically creates the form- I make any adjustments (like deleting text boxes where I didn't need one, making a text box bigger, etc.), and then I'm able to either print the blank form (printing only the background information), or I'm able to type in the fields and then print the filled out form.  Like I said before, now nothing prints except anything that's written into a field.  Please, any help would be GREAT!!!

I been trying use Adobe Acrobat SDK to extract text for many days ...it is OK for me to get the whole text of the page , But those text basically is not ordered.Normally content comes like top content , footer content , Main contentWe don't get those text like we see those words orderly.Another reason why I am asking is , we have used another 3rd party tools like PDFboxWith their tools , giving the specific area , it return text successfully .

Hello.  I am attempting to save all PDFs within a folder as text.  To do this i am running an action calling a JavaScript and using this.saveAsWhen the script runs attempting to save as Plain text, some PDFs fail as they cannot be tagged.  I am therefore curious if a JS can be implemented such that it attempts to save as plain text, and if that fails save as accessible text.this.saveAs("**filepath**”+ this.documentFileName + "_accessformat.txt","com.adobe.acrobat.accesstext");this.saveAs("**filepath**”+ this.documentFileName + "_accessformat.txt","com.adobe.acrobat.plain-text");

Does anybody else see this same behavior?Script:var ary = [];ary["sam"] = "test string";console.println("The array value is " +ary["sam"]);console.println("JSON says: " +JSON.stringify(ary));Output:The array value is test stringJSON says: []

Hi all,I have a single page PDF with lots of shapes scattered around. There are some textboxes above some of the shapes as well (hence I cannot use Ctrl+A). Is there anyway that I could select all shapes (not textboxes) and set their fill color?This is what I am trying to achieve in one shot (if possible):

Getting looped around blogs and dead links for hours must be the single most frustrating thing in the world.  Especially when it is a simple known problem.  This discussion is both a question and a mini rant.  I have lost hours on this question being told that the solution is in drop down directories that don't exist and follow this link and the links area dead.   Here is the question that continues to be asked without getting a clear answer..    I want to flatten my Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard .pdf document.  That is if I add a stamp or and image I then want to make it one document without separate objects that can be copied, deleted or edited.  I see this functionality as being as simple as save, open and print.          Keep in mind I have read 20 to 30 posts and just keep going round and round without a solution. #1. IF THE FUNCTIONALITY ALREADY EXISTS, Please tell me the exact path to get

Dear community,I have an Excel VBA macro which adds page numbers to certain pdf documents.Here an example of how this generally looks like:Set AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")Set KurzGesamt = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")   KurzGesamt.Open (strPfadVerteilungEndlauf & strNameKurzGesamt)Set jso = KurzGesamt.GetJSObjectintSeiten = KurzGesamt.GetNumPages   For i = 2 To intSeiten           Set objTextfeld = jso.AddField("Textfeld" & i, "text", i - 1, Array(810, 15, 830, 25))    objTextfeld.Value = Str(i)    objTextfeld.textSize = 10    objTextfeld.textFont = "Calibri"   Next i   jso.FlattenPages   Call KurzGesamt.Save(1, strPfadVerteilungEndlauf & strNameKurzGesamt)KurzGesamt.CloseThis code has worked perfectly for the last months but now, suddenly, I have the following problem:Before, all form fields (containing the page number

Hi You fantastic debugger/educators!Here is my script:var vsupplycfm = Number(this.getField("SupplyCFMcalc").valueAsString);var vexhaustcfm = Number(this.getField("iftheninflow").valueAsString);var vnozzle = Number(this.getField("Nozzledropdown").valueAsString);event.value = (13500*vnozzle) / (vsupplycfm+vexhaustcfm);its a fairly simple calculation I want to run at the end.  And here is what the javascript debugger says:Exception in line 3 of function top_level, script Field:CalculateTypeError: this.getField(...) is null3:Field:CalculateException in line 1 of function top_level, script Field:CalculateTypeError: this.getField(...) is null1:Field:CalculateBut the other fields are working and have numbers in them and are not null. I checked spelling , capitals etc seem correct.

I've created a 40 page interactive pdf. Originated in InDesign and exported to an interactive PDF.  The PDF has multiple static fields (customer name, job number, date, address) there are also dynamic fields that are for product proposal that utilize forms and calculations.  The stand alone pdf works very well.  I want to see how I can automate this.Here is the question: Currently we have to fill the PDF out manually, flatten the forms, save as and send this out for each inquiry.  Is there a way to have the form online, let the customer fill out and automatically populate the key fields for the static and dynamic content in the master PDF, flatten the PDF (so the form fields are not editable) and email the pdf.I just can't wrap my head around what the best way to do this.  Any help would be a huge help.  Thanks     CO

Hello,I have an InDesign plugin that draws lines over text when the page is being exported to PDF. These lines indicate modifications to the document, track changes. I would like to be able to remove, make them none printing, set the opacity to invisible from Acrobat. We could go back to InDesign and export the pages again with the lines / marks hidden, but there is the possibility that some might have changed in the document. We are not able to put these lines / marks on a separate layer.Is this possible in Acrobat?Is the SDK C++ plugin the best route?Or, is it possible with javascript?Thank you.P.

I have found numerous examples online showing how to display a PDF in your program by using the AxAcroPDFLib assembly.  However, I don't seem to be able to figure out how/where to access this assembly. In Visual Studio, I've tried to "Add Reference" and under "COM" it doesn't show the "Adobe PDF Reader" item that many online examples refer to.I've tried adding a reference to the AcroPDF.DLL in:C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\Active X\However, this does not supply a definition for the AxAcroPDFLib mentioned in the various examples.  It supplies a reference to AcroPDFLib which in turn gives me the AcroPDF interface, which isn't recognized as a user control.Installed on my system:  Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, Adobe Acrobat Distiller DC, Adobe Reader XI don't want to do anything too fancy.  Just display a PDF within my forms window.  But I'm completely lost at this point. Can anybody aim me in the right direction?

Why is this error happening when I try and save a pdf that I have edited? I've search through all forums and this appears to be a very common complaint and yet NOBODY has EVER resolved this problem. Using trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 15.017.20053. Seriously, does Adobe expect people to pay for this software?

I'm not sure if this is possible, but if it is will be worth the question for me to ask...I would like to auto populate a backslash at the beginning of a number and a period at the end of a number.  The problem is I don't know what number the user is going to enter on the text fieldFor example, if the user types 8091000 then \8091000. will appear on another text field.Thank you!

HiI spent a lot of time reading and talking with folks.  Finally wrote the script properlyAdobe said no problems but it still doesn't work.[side question: javascript developer was unsure about event.value and this.getfield.  These are defined by Acrobat?)Have drop down field with 3 results: Pass, Fail or NAIF Pass then print averagesupplyrowsIf Fail then print averagesupplyrowsleftIF NA then print NAsee script:var nSupplyvelocitypassfailnaDD = this.getfield("SupplyvelocitypassfailnaDD").value;var nAveragesupplyrows = this.getfield("averagesupplyrows").value;var nAveragesupplyrowsleft = this.getfield("averagesupplyrowslefta").value;if( SupplyvelocitypassfailnaDD == "Pass" ) {event.value = nAveragesupplyrows;}else if( SupplyvelocitypassfailnaDD == "Fail" ) {event.value = nAveragesupplyrowslefta;}else if ( SupplyvelocitypassfailnaDD == "NA" ) { event.value = "NA";}

We try to use the Adobe PDF Reader ActiveX control in a 64-bit WPF app, but the app crashes every time when I try to move the cursor inside the control. The crash is caused by a BadImageFormatException when the CLR tries to load "comctl32.dll". The root cause of this problem is the embedded manifest in "AcroPDFImpl64.dll" which defines wrong values for processorArchitecture (X86).<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">  <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" name="Adobe Systems Inc.Acrobat.Adobe PDF Browser Control" type="win32"></assemblyIdentity>  <description>Adobe PDF Browser Control.</description>  <dependency>    <dependentAssembly>      <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" publicKeyT
