Acrobat SDK

I'm having trouble validating some required fields in an adobe acrobat pdf.  I need to have the submit button validate text/radio buttons/check buttons to be filled out prior to emailing.  I also have some fields that are entered to generate in the subject line of the email.  But the fields highlighted in orange below are not being validated and can be submitted without a value.  I copy and pasted from some of the other buttons code found in the form but I'm sure there's a kink in the code somewhere.  I need them to be just check boxes and not white. See the code for one of the buttons below. This is my submit button code. var f1 = this.getField("Logic");var f2 = this.getField("Shift");var f3 = this.getField("Item");var f4 = this.getField("Unwind");var f5 = this.getField("Roll QTY");var f6 = this.getField("Time Procedure Completed");var f7 = this.getField("Start Time");var f8 = this.getField("OP I1");var f9 = this.getField("OP I2 ");var f10 = this.getField("OP

Hello,I need help with my java code. I got a form with 3 columns with 160 text fields in each column. They are named A1.0.0-A1.15.9, B1.0.0-B1.15.9, C1.0.0-C1.15.9.What i want to do is take (value of) B1.x.x - C1.x.x and if the difference is more then 1.0 and less then 1.9 i want to give a message to controll that number. So far i got this code: (function calculate() {      var fieldNumber = event.target.name.replace("A", "");      var v1 = +this.getField("B"+fieldNumber).value;      var v2 = +this.getField("C"+fieldNumber).value;    var v3 = v1 - v2;event.value = v3;      })()else if ((v3 >= 1.0) && (v3 <= 1.9)) {app.alert = ("controll this");}else {event.value = "";})();I get a syntex error on row 9, what did i miss? My idea is to call on this function in the calculate tab in the A.x.x column. Please help a novice thats trying to learn java

Does anyone have a simple solution to install a date picker please? Either by script or a portable widget?

I can print from every other app!It goes through the in-app process but then it stalls on "Printing - Looking for printer…" in the queue. The printer shows as being "in use" in the preference pane.Please note that, while these are my current configurations, this was happening before I upgraded OS and Acrobat(s):Mac OS El Capitan EPSON WF-3540 (USB connection)Acrobat CC 2015Acrobat Reader DC 2015I look forward to hearing any ideas as to how to remedy this!Thanks!

My form has a set of fields that I'd like the user to determine how many are necessary. Each block of fields is the same.I'm trying to get the 'Add Sequence' button to display the hidden fields below the preceding fields. Currently, my button works to display 1 block of fields, but I'm wondering if it's possible to get the 'Add Sequence' button to display a sequential hidden field each time it's clicked.

Hi,I'm currently working on a project where we fill a report in MS Access, export in PDF (so far everything work), and (this is a this point that we have trouble) we want to add a signature field with a textbox (to allow the user to sign it and make comments), and send the file location by email.I saw on many forum that we can edit a PDF file with VBA code, especially the function "AcroExch.App", only with Adobe Pro. Is that true or we can use it with other version (Reader or Standard)?I'm sorry if this question was already asked, I hope that one of you have the answer.I look forward to your answer,Nick

I could be miles out or so close but literally have no idea of what I'm doing at this level. What I achieved so far is from scanning the web. ***Please note I am using a Adobe Acrobat Pro DCDropdown 1 = Head Office and Sub TeamDropdown 2 = Constructive and ElectricalCode iv tried so far but its ignoring my command:var Dropdown1 = this.getField("Dropdown1").value;var Dropdown2 = this.getField("Dropdown2")value;var email = "";if ("Dropdown1" == "Head Office" && "Dropdown2" == "Constructive"){var email = "jasonsdking@me.com, constructive@hotmail.com";}else if ("Dropdown1" == "Head Office && "Dropdown2" == "Electrical"){var email = "jasonsdking@me.com, electrical@hotmail.com";}else if ("Dropdown1" == "Sub Team" && "Dropdown2" == "Constructive"){var email = "jasonsdking1@me.com, constructive@hotmail.com";}else if ("Dropdown1 =

I'm new to scripting and I'm assuming what I am looking for involves scripting.I want to send out a PDF to the staff at work who wants to order a business card. The idea is when they fill the form with their details, a preview of the business card will display their information on the business card mockup.I created the form in InDesign using interactive. How do I get customer's information from the field to show up on the business card mockup?Hopefully, someone can lead me in the right direction. Thanks.

Salut!I am preparing a form in Acrobat. I have a listbox (e.g., ListBox1) with 10 items (e.g., item1, item2, item3). I would like to show/hide other form fields (that I already created) dynamically according to users selection from the listbox.For example, if user selects "item1" from ListBox1, I will display only form field#1 or if user selects item2 from ListBox1, I will display only form field#2, and so on...  I will be really looking forward for any suggestions/corrections.------PS. I used the following amongst others for my ListBox1:if(event.value !="item1") {this.getField("field1").display = display.visible;this.getField("field2").display = display.hidden;}else if (event.value !="item2"){this.getField("field1").display = display.hidden;this.getField("field2").display = display.visible;}else if.....

Is it possible to use Adobe Acrobat to automate a process with RPA on a server. A process like reading a PDF document, apply OCR and extract information from it. What's the appropriate license for this?

HI,Is the only option for protecting code to obfuscate the javascript code?  For example, is there such a thing as requiring the user to enter a key  before being able to execute the javascript code on their computer like there is for TurboTax?  Forgive me if this is a novice question.  Any help will be appreciated.Thanks.S

does anyone know how to do this?

I was using the switch script in a custom calculation script in a dropdown to populate a 2nd dropdown (which works correctly), but I can't actually make a selection in the 2nd dropdown list. The list is made and I can click on it to see the populated options, but clicking off the dropdown list after selecting an option besides the first causes it to revert back to the default choice. I assume it has something to do with the list being re-populated after making my choice, but I have no idea on how to stop it.

I'm working on a fairly complex form that calculates lots of different fields and this ONE FIELD is being super weird.It's one of the last fields for validation to make sure the user has input the right amounts.So the relevant fields are:DC Amount - freeformDiv Funding -  Calculated as 12% of DC AmountAW Fee - This has a custom calculation so it varies depending on DC Amount, but usually it's 1% of DC Amount.var Total = this.getField("DC Amount").value;var sponsor = this.getField("sponsor").value;if (sponsor=="A") {    event.value = 0;}    else if (sponsor == B" ) {        if (Total <= 10000) {    event.value = 0;} else if (Total >= 1500000) {    event.value = 15000} else {     event.value = Total * .01;}}So, if I put DC Amount as 50,000, AW Fee is 500.Other Funding - FreeformFunding Validation - This is the troublesome field. Basically it's calculated like thi

I am using .NET C# to populate hidden fields in a PDF form.  I then have written a custom calculation field to concatenate these field values with text to form a dynamic paragraph. I've temporarily removed the hidden property so that I could troubleshoot and when the PDF form comes up I can see these fields have populated.  However the custom calculation script does not seem to see these values as it only shows the 'hardcoded' text from the script.  To simplify the script, I removed all fields to be concatenated except one.  I then put a default value into the text field that would normally get its value from itextsharp.  I then did a preview and the custom calculated field shows the text that I want it to with the default value from the text field.  I am assuming this means the custom calculation javascript is written correctly. For a bit of an explanation on the fields:CustName: is the field that I expect to receive the value from the C# (itextsharp) pro

Does a script exist or can it be created for the Mac environment to toggle between the internal and an external JS editor, and perhaps place it in a button? It would be nice to shorten up the process of opening & closing Preferences to switch back and forth.
