Acrobat SDK

First off, thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this and attempt to help me.I made a PDF form with check boxes. I used a mouse up Java Script so that when the check box is checked aka "Yes" the fill and font are a specific color: I then made a Clear Form button which when clicked does clear all the check boxes but it leaves the form boxes with the fill color of when the box is checked instead of going back to unfilled. The only way to then clear the form box fill is to check the box and then uncheck. I have over 100 check boxes. To clear the check box fill one by one would be a pain in the arse. Any thoughts or suggestions?

hello, i am new to acrobat javascript but have been managing pretty well following forum advice i have found for each topic i have come across until now. I am trying to populate a field with an if/then statement. I have employee names that I want to be populated into a certain field when the adjacent field has the 4 digit employee number entered into it. I found an old thread but no matter what I tried, i can not get the script to work. Here is what I have so far.

Every time I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, and click Sign in, I enter my account information, then sign in, but then it comes back with an error window that pops up saying "An Error Occurred", then does not sign in.... This only seems to happen from the Reader, and I know my ID and password are correct because I signed in here just fine.PLEASE help me with this as Support will not provide help for a free product like the READER....Thanks in advance!!

Hello guys, I want syntax and functions for find and replace actions. If anyone knows please assist me. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I was wondering, is there a javascript that I could use to that would show and tell the user that they didn't click different button? And, if they have clicked the button it wouldn't show the alert. It's just kinda a reminder to click the other button. Can it be done? If so, can you share the script? Thanks.

I have a Drop Down (Drop Down 1) with 3 options - "Yes", "No", and "SELECT YES/NO"I am using this because I think it will be easier to manage that Radio Buttons or Check Box groups for Yes/No.1. How do I "reset" the Drop Down to have no selection - so I dont have to use a "SELECT YES/NO" type of field. How do I get that drop down to just be Blank by default, until the User selects something?2. Based on the output value of the Drop Down, I would then like a series of 10 more Drop Downs to be Required. If Drop Down 1 is Yes - then 1 Text Field is Required, and 10 additional Drop Downs are Required - and the from cannot be Submitted using a Mouse Click Submit action until all 10 required Drop Downs are populated. If Drop Down is No - then 1 Text Field is not required, and 10 additional Drop Downs are not required - and the form can be Submitted using Mouse Click Submit Action. Note: These are all Yes/No fields - so if there is an easier way to do this with Radio Buttons or Check Boxes - t

Good morning,I have a form that I need the following:The user will enter the number of bike crashes per speedI would like the "Results" field to look at the "# Bike Crashes" and list the top three speeds in this format:Speed 20, 55 bikes crashes, Speed 30, 61 bike crashes and Speed 25, 33 bike crashes.What script can be used to perform this task?Thank you in advance for your help.

I can compile the BasicPlugin just fine.Now I'd like to add libraries, namely <vector>. But doing so will result in the error `fatal error C1189: #error :  The C++ Standard Library forbids macroizing keywords. Enable warning C4005 to find the forbidden macro.'. Commenting out line 707 in CorCalls.h seems to fix the problem, but I have no idea what this will break in turn. Is it not possible to include anything in Acrobat plugins or is there a way to fix this?[...]// Acrobat Headers.#ifndef MAC_PLATFORM#include "PIHeaders.h"#endif#include <vector>[...]

Hello,I have a 1 page PDF form which I have set to be a template. I have added in page numbers up in the top right of the header (page 1 of n). I have also added a button that when pressed will execute the following code:var t = this.getTemplate("Template");t.spawn(event.target.page + 1, true, false);The problem is when the button to duplicate the pages is pressed the page numbering remains "Page 1 of 1" on both of the pages.Is there some code I can add to the button that will tell the page numbering to update after I have added the button is pressed and the new page added?Cheers,Seb.

Hi,We have a program called BarCodePrinter2 that recently stopped working, in order to fix it we need to know where we originally got it. The program reads a specific folder for one PDF file, cut and pastes it to another folder, renames the PDF by cutting the original name down to 8 characters, and then prints out a barcode based on the newly named PDF. Does anyone know what program this is or have a similar program?Thanks

In acrobat can I make a droplet out of a JS script?  Right now I run some js scripts in an action.  But dont know how to make it a droplet.  I can only make a droplet from preflight profiles.

Within the Acrobat Pro view of a portfolio PDF file, I'm able to right click in the file and select "Create Folder" to create folder hierarchies for organizing portfolio attachments.I'm using Acrobat PRO DC and Excel VBA to automate some interaction with these Portfolio PDF files.  Using the Adobe JSO, is there a way to get a list of existing portfolio subfolders? Or to create new folders?    I'm able to add an attachment to a folder within a portfolio file using something like:Call jso.importdataobject("<1>subfile.txt", "/F/Development/PermFile/subfile.txt")This will import "subfile.txt" into the first existing folder within the JSO's portfolio file. However, this code does not work if a folder does not already exist in the portfolio file. So I'd like to be able to list existing folders in order to determine the correct folder index on the fly.  I'd also like to be able to create new folders/subfolders within the portfolio file.Existing folders don't see

Hello!If this has already been solved, I apologize but was unable to locate (maybe my search terms weren't correct).I have several very large PDF docs (11 thousand pages+) that are for a mailing.  However, the customer did not sort the recipients before export (and after further investigation, they cannot figure out HOW to do such).  The resulting file(s) have recipients with 3 pages, some with 4 and perhaps even some with 5 pages.  These files will need to be printed, and then folded and inserted into envelopes by hand if I am unable to come up with a more automated way of sorting the variable page groups.I believe I have a way to place a bookmark at the "first page" of each recipient -- what I am looking for now is a way to either sort those bookmarks by their page counts (3, 4 or 5) or extract them by page count.  The former is preferred as the later would make a metric ton of files.Any thoughts/ideas/help is appreciated!Message was edited by: Chad Wentzel

I'm trying to draw the annotations of a document without actually drawing the page being annotated. I know there are methods like PDPageDrawContentsToMemoryEx() which draw the page to memory, is there any way to ignore the page, and just draw annotations?

How do I assign a price to correspond with each individual choice? For example, if  choice A is $1.00 and choice B is $2.00, I want the price to be reflected in a "Unit Price" column, based on which radial button they select. I've read a lot of the posts, but programming is very intimidating to me. Any help for a novice?

I have a 1,400 page pdf.  I need to add a 1 page pdf to this document, but with this 1 page added every other page.  So the question is, how can I do this with Acrobat Pro DC?  I had found a JavaScript, but cannot figure out where to place it (and make it execute).  Thank you in advance for your recommendations!

Hi,Trying to make my forms more dynamic.

Please help - it's greatly appreciated!

Hello,I do not have the JavaScript extension in my Adobe so I have been getting around that by using the 'Custom calculation script' calculation on text fields. I got stuck recently and could use some help.I wrote the script below for a document I am working on. I needed the selection from drop down menu ("A") to auto-populate text into text field ("Text1"). I used this calculation in the ("Text1") field. Each drop down selection has it's own body of text, the script works but I am stuck because now I want the script to highlight and italicize certain words/phrases in each of the auto-populated answers.var choice = this.getField("A").value;{if (choice=="COMPANY COVERED")event.value = ("Company is willing to cover $XXXXXX");else if (choice=="NO CONTRIBUTION")event.value = ("Company is willing to contribute $XXXXXX, to assist with this cost, leaving a balance of $XXXXXX. This balance will need to be paid directly to Company or an approved contractor.  You agree that you will be resp

I am quite new to using the acrobat SDK, so I am wondering what might be the solution here. I have a website and a database that tracks the status of individual published documents, and things obviously change over time and they were made legacy. Is it possible that I dynamically add a watermark with some text saying "Legacy" or something along those lines by dynamically manipulating the file on a client side script based on say, a js array query pulled from the db?

Hi thereHoping that someone cleverer than I might be able to help me out!I’m designing a form for a client who has issues with users ‘writing over’ previously completed forms to save them time, but this is causing input errors because they dont check all the fields properly.To help combat this, I’ve suggested using a Submit Button which once clicked, makes all the user input fields Read Only, before it submits the form via email. This way, users can still save the completed form for their records, but will need to refer back to a blank template to produce a new form for submission.I’ve got this working nicely using the following script as a Mouse Up event:this.getField(“il”).readonly = true ;However, the problem is that form has some mandatory fields which the Submit function obviously validates before it attaches to email, which is great, but if a user misses a mandatory field they can’t go back and correct it because the fields have now become read only!Changing the order of scripts
