Acrobat SDK

I am currently working on a pdf form on acrobat pro for work and I ran into some trouble when attempting to add script when there was already script made. I am very new to this so these struggles might be due to that.I had to create a new dropdown list (List B) on an existing form and link it to another list (list D). (I successfully accomplished this) However, There is another drop down list (List A) that is also linked to List D and now the link will only work at the start but will quickly go away and stick to my new changes. Essentially, when i choose "yes" in (List A) i need it to link to (List D) without (List B) effecting it. This probably made no sense at all but if anyone knows how to fix this that would be great!

All the links here are broken for me:Acrobat DC SDK Documentation

I have been working on this for hours now and keep having an issue.  I am semi-new to JavaScript but Google has been less than helpful in helping me figure out this JS.Basically I created a function in Excel a couple years ago and now need to convert this to calculate it in a pdf.This is my Excel calculation: =IF(B4<500,1,IF(B4=500,1,IF(B4=1000,2,IF(B4>1000,(B4*0.2%),2))))So far in Adobe I have gotten this and I have no clue if I'm semi-correct or heading in the right direction or what:var amount = this.getField("amount").valuevar z = this.getField("amount") * 0.002;if (amount <= 500) {event.value = "1.00"}else if (amount > 500 & <= 1000) {event.value = "2.00"}else {event.value = z}I keep getting this error "SyntaxError: invalid XML name 4; at line 5"Can anyone help me with this? I've been Google-ing for hours and asked my brother, but he hasn't programmed in 10 years.

Why can't I get my text fields to fill with color and/or a color border? This is my first form, and it's fairly involved, with math formulas etc, ( which is so great! ) but I'm wrestlingwith this last two little text fields that I would like to stand out from the rest of the form because theyare the Submit and Reset boxes.

I work for a small startup company that has some needs around programmatically redacting information from PDFs that our users upload.Does anyone have any tips for how we could find someone to assist us with implementation? I've tried all the usual freelance providers, but no luck!Thanks

I am currently in a pickle. I have a field that someone writes either "yes" or "no". I want to be able to have another field populate with a number based on the yes or no field. For example:"Field1" is the field where someone types "yes" or "no". if someone puts "yes", I would like to have "Field2" populate with a number 1. If they say no, I want "Field2" to populate with a 0.

Hi,I have a simple form with some radio buttons, and I'd like to create a formula to extract the values of the radio buttons and add them and/or average them. I've attached a picture of the document I'm working on. Keep in mind I'm a complete novice I'm just trying to learn some new skills.

My macbook pro I've been using for all these years has finally pooped out and now I'm in search of a another one. The only thing is I don't want to purchase another old one. Now they're all newer and the OS has changed. The ones that I can afford come with the OS High Sierra, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to install my Acrobat X pro onto a laptop running this OS. If you know if it will or will not be compatible, please let me know? Thanks so much guys.

I have a form that I made through Adobe Acrobat. The second page on this document is basically a giant calculator. I see that my java script is correct and the calculations are correct, but there is somewhat of a delay when it calculates. That is the only way I can explain it. Basically what happens, is I go down my rows and when I have the total calculate everything for me, its off a little. But if I leave it alone and start typing somewhere else, it correct itself. Almost like it didn't fully calculate and was delayed. I don't know if this is a glitch with Adobe Acrobat or if it's something I did wrong. I can't imagine I am doing something wrong because if I use "the value is..." calculation, I get the same thing. I have a link below to the document if anybody wants to see what I am talking about. It is really weird. The sheet isn't completely done, so go to the second page, and try the section to the right.https://www.dropbox.com/s/r3f8a69t7i57p3y/Composition%20Job%20Package%20updat

Hello Community,Thanks for the many informations I got to other "projects". Unfortunately, I can not really continue now and could find no purposeful contribution to the above topic. That's why I have registered now and hope that you can help me here and this contribution will help others on.At the moment I am developing a tool via VS2017; VB. This tool is intended to write PDF content in an XML. Just like the function "Export to XML (1.0)". The PDF was also created by me with ES4. It is also an interactive PDF. The Requirement is now to read the inputs with this tool and to write in an XML file. I have tried some free DLL's, only they always deliver only the "fixed" values ​​and not the dynamic ones.Does one know how I can read out the dynamic fields? Ideally, I would build the tool so that it creates exactly the same file that creates the standard export function of the reader. I would be very happy about some experiences or solutions or examples.Best regards,GJK_Screenshot of the PD

Hello,I'll just preface this by saying I have zero coding experience and almost no knowledge of javascript. I've been trying to create a custom stamp in Adobe Acrobat for work. I have an image that I have added a date/time calculation to, but somewhere in the code, something must be broken. I need the date format to be: 2018 MONTH DAY. Could someone please tell me how I can fix this? I also need the entire string to be capitalized, which seems to be working - it's just the date format I cannot figure out.event.value = event.value.toUpperCase(event.value = util.printd("yyyy mm dd tt h:MM", new Date));I thought "yyyy mm dd" would work, but it shows the date as MAY 23 2018.Any help is appreciated.

Hallo,ich möchte in einem Formular ein schreibgeschütztes Datum, Welches sich täglich beim öffnen des Dokuments automatisch aktualisiert.Ich habe ein Textfeld erstellt und unter Berechnung die Formel : var f = this.getField("Datum"); f.value = util.printd("dd. mmmm yyyy", new Date()); eingegeben.Unter Formatkategorie "Datum ausgewählt" und in den Optionen Benutzerdefiniert dd. mmmm yyyy.In der Registrierkarte Allgemein steht unter Name "Datum" drin.Zusätzlich habe ich es noch schreibgeschützt, so dass es von dem Anwender nicht mehr änderbar ist.Mein Problem ist, dass sich das Datum nicht beim öffnen am nächsten Tag automatisch aktualisiert.MFG

Is there any Acrobat SDK I can use to add a sub-menu in an existing Acrobat context menu?  For example, the Content panel can be brought up by Acrobat's View->Show/Hide->Navigation Panes->Content.  On the content panel, one can select 1 or more items, right-click brings up a context menu.  If I want to add a custom menu option to allow me to access the selected object(s) and perform my own custom actions, is it possible and if so, how do I do that?  See the menu in the screenshots below.  - Thanks!Thanks.

I am trying to write a script that verifies that fieldA and fieldB do not contain identical strings.  And alerting the user if they are the same.  I have the following script (located in the validation of fieldB, but when I enter the same text in both boxes, no alert appears. if(this.getfield("fieldA".value) == event.value) {  app.alert("Must be different than fieldA");}

Hallo Community,erstmals vielen Dank für die vielen Informationen die ich zu anderen “Projekte“ finden konnte. Leider komme ich nun nicht wirklich weiter und konnte auch kein zielführenden Beitrag zu dem oben genannte Thema finden.
