Acrobat SDK

Hello all,I have started some online basic javascript classes to try to lessen the amount of simply questions I have but in the meantime, my fields guys had one request that I have been working on for a couple days now with no success. On our timesheet with days of the week where users input the hours they worked for the day. I currently am running a document level script and it is working great except some users would like to enter an "X" instead of a zero for the days they dont work. I believe there is a way to pull the value of the field and use an if/then statement but everything I have tried to date is not working or gives a NaN result. Because of it being a weekly calculation, there are multiple variables I am using so I wasnt sure if I was to run an if/then statement for each day or one time toward the end of the script. Below is my script and what I have tried to date. I know some scripts are still pulling the value as a number with the "+" but remember I was just trying to get

Hi, I have Adobe Acrobat Standard and I want to create a form that autogenerates a unique number (like invoice number). I think I need to use Javascript but this option is not available. Can you please advise? I also need to mention that this form will be used for different users with Widows and Mac computers.

How to check a date entered is greater than current date? i.e. not expired

A few months ago, I set up shared reviews on a SharePoint server, and they've been working fine. But now I'm getting an error when I try to send a PDF out for Shared Commenting: "The file destination is not valid. Enter a valid location." The only option on the dialog is, "OK." Also, all my files that I've sent out for review over the past few months now have this error: "Could not get new comments. Adobe Acrobat DC cannot access the network. Please verify your computer's network connection and try again." My connection is good.So my question:How do I change the network setting if something has gone wrong with it? I've searched the Help, and looked all over the app, but I cannot find a way to specify network location for reviews. When I try to start a new review, all it gives me is the error saying the destination is not valid -- it doesn't let me view or change anything. I tried repairing the app under the Help menu, but that didn't help. I'm at wits end. Please help.

On the PDF form I have created I would like to create the following functionality.If all standards (1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3) are "meeting" then standard 1.1 rating is "Meeting Standard "If any standards (1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3) are "working towards" then standard 1.1 rating is "Working Towards Standard"If no criteria selected then "Not Yet Rated" is displayed.I have followed these steps to achieve this but the calculation is not performing correctly.I have set radio buttons fields "1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3" to = 1 for Meeting and = 0 for Working towards.I have created a tally "1.1 Tally" that sums these (working correctly - displays 1,2,3 as the 3 Meeting boxes are selected - counts back down if changed to working towards)I have added a calculation to field "Rating 1.1"var Tally = this.getField("1.1 Tally").value;if (Tally == 3) {event.value = "Meeting Standard";}else if ((Tally <= 3) && (Tally >= 0)) {event.value = "Working Towards";}else {event.value = "Not Yet Rated";}However - I

Hey Everyone,For purposes that don't require getting into I have a form with image fields that will get filled from the tablet pdf expert 6 app.Within the pdf expert 6 app, the user can also annotate with lines stamps and other squiggly lines and such.  However, the lines and squiggly bits appear behind the entered images. Now I found some mentions of locking the annotations or images, but I find myself unable to form a clear image on the workings of how images and annotation view orders are sorted.Could someone help/explain how to solve this (&optionally how this image field image annotation priority business works?)Just to be clear; currently, the images show on top of the annotations, I want the annotations above the images.Thank you in advance for any trouble to be taken.

Hi all i have acrobat dc Version: 18.11.20036.265267. I have a QA pdf document that is used to sign off newly installed equipment. The multiple testing meter's ( make / model / serial ) numbers are captured in this document, but the calibration certificates documents for the test meter has to be attached manually from another file. I would like to enter the meter serial number into a text field which migrates the correct calibration certificate into the QA document (the calibration certificate file name is the serial number). Is there a solution for this? thanks

I thought that plug-in technology would be the slam-dunk answer to my application needs, but was disappointed when I realized that the x64 third party library that I want to use with my plug-in will not work with Win32.  So how can I get it done?The following is an incomplete list of what I want my application to do:Give the user a UI/window in which to interact with PDF pages.  This would preferably be Acrobat.Provide the user with drawing tools with which the user can draw lines, boxes, circles, etc. on pages and have those saved in a layer, with zoom capabilities, for that page.The user will have access to a "snipping tool", similar to Microsoft's Snipping Tool, used to capture and save images from PDF pages to a library/list of images.The user will be able to search for text and images on other yet unopened PDF document pages.The user will be able to use the image library to search for images on pages; including images within images that are on pages.  Here, I assume

for some reason the back side prints mirror imaged and upside down which is impossible to read. more looks like Russian! My It guys can not fix it. help!

The Acrobat SDK documentation mentions that the Pascal calling convention should be used; which I take to mean that the sample project Calling Convention should be set to _sdtcall (/Gz).  However, upon inspecting the Calling Convention properties for the samples, I see __cdecl (/Gd).

I downloaded the Acrobat SDK samples and opened the 'All' solution.  When I try to build, for example, BatesNumbering, I get a LNK1104 error because it cannot open LIBCPMT.lib.I am using the Visual Studio 2013 (v120) Platform Toolset within Visual Studio 2017.

Hi Adobe Community,I am just starting out in learning how to use javascript in the custom calculation script. I am creating a check checklist where each check box equals a value of 1, and that value is totaled at the base of the check list in box A (steps completed.) My next goal is to have the box below (B) either show "NO" or "YES" depending on the value of A. For example, there are 17 steps so if A's value is 0-16 B would be NO and if the value is 17 than it would say YES - meaning the check list is complete or not. Right now, I can only every get B to always say NO or always say YES. I know I am probably making a very basic mistake, but if anyone can help me with my code I would really appreciate it. And is it possible to color the text so that NO would be in red or YES would be green, or is that only possible in excel? Thanks in advance!var v1 = this.getField("A").value;var v2 = this.getField("B").value;if (v1 = 0) event.value = "NO";else if (v1 = 1) event.value = "NO";else if (v1

I have to fill out pdf based on user selections behind the screens and when user hits submit filled out pdf needs to be downloaded. I am trying to do this in javascript.I currently have a form that user fills out, I am extracting these fields and need to add it to actual pdf. 

If someone checks the check box, I want the amount of kms collected and totaled at the bottom. If the check mark is not checked, do not grab the number of kms in that line. I just learned JS in the last week in order to make this calculation work on a fillable PDF...so excuse my lack of knowledge and/or background!! I have got it to add up the amounts before, but it didn't work if I unchecked a box and didn't work when I started to add more lines. It seemed to not like when the check array returns a NULL. Currently, it won't add anything and it's returning a zero. Can anyone see where I have gone wrong in the code below? Thanks!var check = ["Check.1", "Check.2", "Check.3"];var km = ["KMsRow1", "KMsRow2", "KMsRow3"];function myKM(){var KM = 0; var i = 0; var c = 0; for (i = 0; i < 20; i++)  {if(this.getField(check) == 1)    {KM.value += this.getField(km);     event.value = parseFloat(KM);}   else    {event.value = pars

I need a formula to add two boxes (subtotal and other charges) and then times that by the tax rate (which will be input at the point of sale). Can anyone else me write this equation? I am happy to email you my pdf or really anything to get this last step completed. --Thank you!

I have created a form that includes two questions with Yes or No radio buttons for answers.  I would like to make them required so that the first question has to be answered before moving on to the next question.  Is there a way to do that?Ex: Is the applicant is an individual?  Yes  or   No  (I have named this set of radio buttons "HMDA"). I don’t want people to tab through this question without answering it first.  Once it is answered I would like them to be directed to the next question which is "Is the applicant an entity?"  Yes   or   No (I have named this set of radio buttons "BeneficialOwner").Thanks

I have Acrobat Pro DC with a combo/dropdown box ("Regulation) which is populated by another parent dropdown box. When I change the value on "Regulation" box, i.e.: select a Regulation), it populates yet another combo box ("RegSections") with the appropriate sections for the particular regulation selected such as: 2, 2(1), 2(2) etc.. See image of fields below.That all works great as they're using the "Case" command. BUT when I choose a section from the last box, it's supposed to populate a text box with the appropriate regulatory description for the section selected. It is a good 1225 lines long and works fine on the "RegSections" Blur event but that means an officer would need to click outside the box before the proper text shows up in the text box ("sfd_reg"). Currently the js is simply a nested if/else-if setup.What I've been trying to do is make it work on the "RegSections" Custom Keystroke event. So I added a if(!event.willcommit){ to the top of the script and the closing "}" right

Before Acrobat DC, I was able to go to the Combine Files dialog box, and one of the choices was "Add Open Files". In Acrobat DC, "Add Open Files" is not in the Add Files drop down list. Was this command removed from Acrobat DC?

I have 2 boxes - 1) Is a running total 2) Cash Avail.  I want to write code that will change the Running Total fill to red if the amount is above the Cash AvailHere is what I havevar RT = this.getField("Run_Total");var CA = this.getField("CashAvail");if(RT.value > CA.value){event.RT.fillColor = color.red;}else { event.RT.fillColor = color.transparent;}I also triedvar RT = this.getField("Run_Total").value;var CA = this.getField("CashAvail").value;if(RT> CA){event.fillColor = color.red;}else { event.fillColor = color.transparent;}But nothing happens.  I am sure I am missing something.very simple
