Is it possible to write a calculation formula that isn't based on numbers?  I am creating a risk assessment worksheet.  There are 2 categories to score-severity and probability.  The available options for severity are I, II, III, IV, and N/A.  The available options for probability are A, B, C, D, and N/A.  Depending on the combination of the 2 options (i.e. I-A, IV-C, etc), the result could be EH, H, M, or L.  Is there a way to calculate the result based on the 2 inputs?  I hope that makes sense.

I'm experiencing crashes and random misbehaviour of Acrobat (both on the latest DC Pro and even back on 8.3) as when launching an embedded PDF from an IBM (Lotus) Notes document AcroAXApp is giving me an AVDoc instance that hasn't finished drawing, so making calls against it (and its associated PDDoc) upsets Acrobat.I'm basically trying to script extracting OLE Embedded PDFs from an IBM (Lotus) Notes database. When I make COM call to Lotus Notes to activate an embedded PDF it loads the PDF in Acrobat and I get back an AcroAXApp object which has a Document method which returns an instance of AcroAVDoc. From that AVDoc I can get the PDDoc and call Save against it and then Close.The problem I'm running into is that when I call AcroAXApp.Document it seems it will return the AVDoc before it's finished drawing it on screen, so depending on the timing of my code I can get all sorts of odd errors and total crashes calling methods against AVDoc and its associated PDDoc (sometimes on Save, somet

I have a time field that enters the current time when I enter the field (acroform).I was able to do this successfully with the code below.  However, I would like to copy this field multiple times (T1.0, T1.1, etc..) and not have to enter and change the javascript in each field.  Any wildcard to replace "T1.0" with the reference to the same field? I'm sure this is a very elementary question but I haven't been able to figure this out or find it.var f = this.getField("T1.0") //target field to copy overif (f.value != null && f.value != ""){} else {   f.value = util.printd("HH:MM", new Date());}

Please suggest how to add Highlight annotation to selected text in PDF using javascript

I have a PDF checklist with 12 checkboxes named Pass1.0, Pass1.1 and so on up to Pass1.11. There's a Visible text field called CompletePrompt at the top of the page on top of a Hidden signature field. There is a Sign Checklist button at the bottom of the page. When clicked, the following js runs: this.getField("CompletePrompt").display = display.hidden;this.getField("ReviewerSignature").display = display.visible;this.getField("ReviewerSignature").setFocus();this.getField("ReviewerSignature").strokeColor = color.red; I want this to happen if and only if every one of the 12 checkboxes is checked. If even one box is blank, I want the script to end and trigger an app.alert without toggling the visibility of the other fields.My current effort ended in: var f = this.getField("Pass1");if (f.valueAsString == "Off") {     app.alert({cMsg:"Check all Checkboxes to Sign"}); } else if (f.valueAsString == "Yes") {     this.getField("CompletePrompt").display =

Would like to put some javascript code into the form open event.Cant find where to insert the code?

Good afternoon!The code below compiles just fine and I have no missing references, but when I reach the For Each block, there are no FormField items to process (and the loop is not entered).Here are the references:I'm using Adobe Acrobat Standard DC, 2015 Release (Classic) | Version 2015.006.30434. Do I need the Professional version for this code to work?I've spent the better part of the day trying to figure out what I thought would be a pretty simple task. What I want to do is loop through a list of several hundred PDF files, open them, find a specific text string, modify it, slightly expand the width of the text box that contains it, then save/close.I've found code to find and select the string (AVDoc.FindText), but nothing that allows me to change it (e.g. A300-000A-T-1 to A300-000A-T-101).There are some relatively cryptic (cryptic to me anyway) posts out there regarding JSO, but I'm not having much luck with that so far. Most of them talk about adding items to the form, not changin

I reinstalled Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on a new laptop after the old PC crashed.  Following successful installation I tried to "Activate" the software and received the following error:"Registration connection error" "We were unable to connect to Adobe to Register your product."How can I resolve the issue and activate the software?  I tried exiting the software and registering again, but received the same error.  I had previously activated the software back in 2006 on an old PC (which is now defunct.)

I don't know if this is possible, but is there a way to set a drop down box to move to a certain item when you start to type that item in the box?I have a drop down box that will need over 300 different items to choose from and the user is wanting it so that if you start typing a certain item, it will automatically scroll to that item so you don't have to scroll through all 300 different items.Is this even possible? I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES4 that I can use.Any help is appreciatedThanks

Hi, MastersI created one html page which can open the pdf and go to the target destination, under the guidance of your masters here.Now, I need to detect the name of the current selected destination,because some of the JS within that document need to know the current  selected destination in order to shown some guidance information to the user.Is there any way that I can detect the current selected destination with JS? Or could there be any other way to let me know where I am in the current document?Thanks.

Hello everyone, I need to make sure that a digital signature field was signed by a particular trusted provider. I'm getting the properties of the signature through var f = this.getField ("sign_professional"); var Info = f.signatureInfo (); but I can not get any data referring to the provider of that firm, (I'm not talking about the person who makes the signature, I'm talking about the trusted provider through which the signature was obtained), thank you very much!

I activated the required property by adding a "submit" button with a mailto: action.  Is there another action that I could use in case the form users don't want to genterate an email or another way to activate the required field property?Thanks for the help!Ken K.

Hi i need help on how to run a java script that puts a stamp/text on the first page of every bookmark. does anyone know how to do this?

Hello, Links in newly created PDFs from Word now try to open in my browser instead of their native program. That is, if I have a link to a PDF or Word document in a Word document and PDF it using the Acrobat tab and selecting "Create PDF", when I click on a link in the newly created PDF, it tries to open it in my browser and not Acrobat or Word and when I hover the Hand cursor over the link (see Screenshot #1 below), it now shows a "W" in the hand, which means "Open a web link", whereas links in documents that I created previously the same way have no "W" over the hand (see Screenshot #2 below) when I hold my cursor over a link in a PDF and they open into the correct program (Acrobat or Word) when I click on them.Screenshot #1:Screenshot #2:Somehow, PDFMaker (used from inside Word 2013) is now coding the resulting links in the PDFs as "Open a web link" (see Screenshot #3 below) instead of "Open a file":Screenshot #3:The files that used to be created (prior to 06/29/2016) have the Link

This can be done, but is a bit complex. Let's assume you have one dropdown and a text field named "Text1", then do the following:Create a document level script using the following script:function UpdateTextField(doc, fieldName, newValue) { var ar = []; // Get the values currently stored in the text field and // convert them to an array var v = doc.getField(fieldName).value; if (v.length > 0) { var ar = v.split(","); } // Do we already have newValue in the array? var foundIt = -1; for (var i=0; i<ar.length; i++) { if (ar[i] == newValue) { foundIt = i; break; } } if (foundIt != -1) { // remove the item ar.splice(i, 1); } else { // add the item at the end ar.push(newValue); } // If we have more than four elements, // remove the oldest one while (ar.length > 4) { ar.shift(); } // conver the array to a string this.getField(fieldName).value = ar.join(); }In your dropdown control, go to the Options tab and make sure that "commit selected values immediately" is selected, then go to

I'm trying to create a form that captures a lot of data, particularly vehicle accident data.  Some of the item values are very long.  What I would like to do is to allow those completing the form to select the Item value from the drop-down box, but populate the form with the export value, which I plan to have as numerical.  So if we have item values of Apple, Banana, and Cookie, with corresponding export values of 1, 2, 3, when the user selected Banana, the form would display 2.  Can that be done?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Can specific text be extracted from a pdf file?I have pdf's that have pictures, text, tables and just lines of text in them. The pictures are identified with a g-number, I would like to find a way to extract out all the g-numbers and put them in excel.Also there is another data set I would like to have extracted as well. But I figure if I can get one, the other should be similar.Thanks

Dear master:I created one HTML page based on the sample of AcroPDFInHTML, with small modification. Seems the function of setNamedDest does not work here. below is the code used in my html page. I set one bookmark named "N2" in my pdf file. The function setZoom(50) works fine in this page, but it does not go to the bookmark "N2". Is there anything missing in my code? or the function has been removed from the interface?
