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

Hi ,I am looking for a good calendar picker for a form I am doing, I don't mind paying for it if it does the job.thanksPaul

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.

Does anyone have an example of converting spot colors to process in Acrobat DC with JavaScript? The API shows an example, but not with ink actions (I'm guessing this is how it's done with JavaScript). My other colorConvertAction JavaScripts work well (i.e. converting color space of images, etc), but I've had to use Preflight for document spot color conversion. Would prefer to just add this to my existing JavaScripts if possible.

Hi,I'm using Adobe acrobate dc.I have three checkboxes in my pdf-document.They are namned: checkbox1, checkbox2 and checkbox3I wish the following to happen:-When checkbox1 is selected, checkbox2 and checkbox3 also become selected.-When checkbox1 is deselected, checkbox2 and checkbox3 also become deselected.I'm more than a beginner to this with javascript, so please keep this in mind whenexplaining or giving me a working javascript.Thanks/Dennis

It appears that although Adobe says that Acrobat is compatible with the new Mac OS High Sierra, there is a growing list of issues when it comes to Acrobat JavaScript. The other day I found that the transparent option for colors is unavailable in the color dialog boxes, and is known to accompany High Sierra upgrades. Today I find that exportAsFDF( ) in various scripts is throwing a GeneralError: Operation failed.The things that I am finding defective are making it very difficult to work on scripts. I tried to work around this by deactivating my Acrobat DC in the Mac environment, and activating it in the Windows-under-Parallels environment, but it seems the same problems persist either way, apparently attributable to High Sierra.I'm on the verge of rolling back to Sierra but hoping for some assurance that there is reason to believe these issues will be resolved quickly. I would appreciate any insight or hope that the experts on this forum might offer on this subject.Thank you.

I have an annual subscription. I tried to convert a 15mb pdf file to excel. Both from Android + Adobe Reader and Windows +10 Chrome. In both cases I keep receiving the message "Conversion failure". I tried Adobe Support Chat. They are able to help and suggested posting the problem here. Can anyone help? Even a cursory search reveals that the problem is pretty common, perennial for many years, and still not solved by Adobe. OCR disabling etc. do not seem to work.

I just purchased a new Brother MFC-J885DW printer, and all the drivers are up to date with that printer, it is brand new and I triple-checked this. My PDFs are printing blank. I checked if there were Adobe updates required, they are up to date. Help!

I just purchased Adobe Export so I can convert a PDF whose contents can't seem to be copied and pasted into Word the old school way. I've tried three times and I get a "Conversion failed" message. Obviously, this is not what I planned to spend 20 euros. Anyone any idea what could be wrong? Surely, if Adobe can only convert documents I could copy and paste myself, this would have been a totally unnecessary investment and I'd feel conned as a result....
