Acrobat SDK

I want to replace "X" in   var chk = this.getField("PX.myCheck.chkAmount") using an incremented value based on a condition.My objective is to add script to this example so that if(num2.value > "") then the field name "PX.myCheck.chkAmount" will become "P1.myCheck.chkAmount".  Example:var num2 = this.getField("num.chk.02");var i = 0if(num2.value > "")(i = i + 1; var chk = this.getField("P1.myCheck.chkAmount";chk.value = num2.value);

Hi,First, let me apologize because this question is basically a duplicate of question 9881727, which was asked a couple of weeks ago. However, it was never answered.I'm using Acrobat Javascript and creating both annotations and field objects, e.g. buttons and text boxes. The field objects always obscure the annotations.  Stated another way, the field objects are on top of the annotations.Question: Is there any way to make annotations visible whenever they overlap field objects?  Perhaps some programmable Z-order property for either annotations or field objects?Note that I don't need alternative programming suggestions in order to avoid this issue, I just need to know if an annotations can ever be made visible when they overlap a field object?  Note that my field objects are NOT transparent, i.e. they are solidly colored.Thanks for your help!

I created a document (I don't know how to upload a pdf, therefore you can access a sample via Dropbox : https://www.dropbox.com/s/fni2eur4t1w48qa/Data_collecting%20.pdf?dl=0) of several pages and I need to extract the value of a field which can appear on some of the pages.These fields are named:Source.0Source.1Source.2 etc.Page one can start with the field Source.2the following page can be free of such a fieldThe field Source.8 may appear on page 3etc.I am trying to scan each page for finding a field starting with "Source." and if found, to copy its value to another field starting with "Result." but with the same index :Result.3 value = Source.2 valueResult.10 value = Source.10 valueetc.Please pay attention : the fields "Source." contain fixed references and the displayed pages are issued from templates. Therefore, I need to know which reference fields appear ont the displayed pages, and then capture their value. The list of "Result" will show part of the fields with a value, and the o

I have an enormous amount of calculated fields, and am trying to audit them to make sure everything is as it should be. It would be easiest for me if I could copy and paste the list into excel to better plan the hierarchy of the fields. Is there a way to print the field calculation order in the javascript console?

For my organization, we have a lot of .pdf files, each of which contain multiple .pdf files within them as attachments (i.e. one single .pdf file that contains other .pdf files within it). I know I can print a .pdf file with the following command via command prompt."C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" /n /t "filetoprint.pdf" "\\printerserver\printername"While this will print the .pdf in question, it does not print any attachments within the file "filetoprint.pdf". I've scoured google and these forums, yet I haven't seem to found a switch or anything that would enable me to do this. Does anyone have any suggestions? It needs to be done by command line. I would appreciate any help! Thanks!~Justin

I am using Acrobat Pro DC to make a form. The form has a section that is divided into 2 areas which are controlled by radio buttons that are in the same group. When radio1 is selected we want the entry fields in area 1 visible and the entry fields in area 2 hidden. And when radio 2 is selected we want the entry fields in area 2 visible and the entry fields in area 1 hidden. We are using javascript on mouse up actions to accomplish this in acrobat. Everything is working as expected in the preview in acrobat. My issue is that in the saving process it seems that all the javascript is being stripped out. When I go to reopen the file in Acrobat pro, all the fields are still there but there is no javascript attached to them. Is there something that needs to be done or set for the javascript to be saved at the field level?

Hello,I'm able to populate today's date to a single field by inserting this script to the Signature field.this.getField("Datefield1").value = util.printd ("m/d/yyyy", new Date());How can I do an "OR" to the above script so I can insert 5 fields? Reason being is the naming convention of the date field can be five different names. Datefiled1Datefiled2Datefiled3Datefiled4Datefiled5Instead of going into the script and edit the Datefield, I just want the script to work for any of the five.I tired this but no luck....this.getField(("Datefield1")||("Datefield2")).value = util.printd ("m/d/yyyy", new Date());Thank youEd

Is there a way to create page number fields that automatically update when you insert or merge pages from one pdf file to another pdf file?  For example, if one pdf file has 4 pages, the page numbering is 1 of 4, 2 of 4, 3 of 4, 4 of 4.  If I insert a page from a different pdf document, I want the page numbering to automatically change to Page 1 of 5, 2 of 5, 3 of 5, 4 of 5, and 5 of 5.

I have a specfic Field-1 that has a date in it.

After downloading and installing the latest version of Acrobat DC I have found that the application is automatically closing after 30 seconds.I have attempted following suggestions of accepting the EULA manually & locating the license agreement, these do not seem to have worked as it is still closing after 30 seconds.I can open the preferences tab and Acrobat will remain open beyond 30 seconds however once I click OK to exit then Acrobat closes immediately.

Here is my code.Public Function GetPDFLastTwentyText(ByVal pstrPdfFilename As String) As String      Dim PDDoc As Object      Dim CAcroRect As New Acrobat.AcroRect      Dim PDPage As Acrobat.AcroPDPage      Dim PDTxtSelect As Acrobat.AcroPDTextSelect      Dim CArcoPoint As Acrobat.AcroPoint      Dim iNumWords As Integer      Dim iMax As Long      Dim arPdfLines() As String      Dim i As Integer      Dim fso As FileSystemObject      GetPDFLastTwentyText = ""      Set fso = New FileSystemObject      If fso.FileExists(pstrPdfFilename) Then           Set PDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")           PDDoc.Open pstrPdfFilename   &nbsp

HiAfter upgrade from win 7 to 10 adob acrobat professional 8 asking for reactivation but failed.Activation number: REMOVED[NEVER POST A SERIAL NUMBER IN AN OPEN FORUM !!!]please help.regardsShabir

I have the following formula and it works but I would like my answer to round to the nearest hundredth.    Any help would be greatly appreciated.var ST = this.getField("ST").value;var SR = this.getField("SR").value;var SS = this.getField("SS").value;var SA = this.getField("SA").value;var WT = this.getField("WT").value;var WR = this.getField("WR").value;var WS = this.getField("WS").value;var WA = this.getField("WA").value;if((SA == "" && SA != "0")&&(WA != "0")){    event.value = "TBD";}else{    event.value =     (ST*WT)+(SR*WR)+(SS*WS)+(SA*WA);}

Since the update yesterday, when I export an Interactive PDF from InDesign any fields with the same name are renamed. If I attempt to change the names back to being the same in Acrobat I receive an error "A field of different type already uses this name. Please choose a new name for the field, or change the field type to match the existing field with this name."Simply put, I'm wondering if I can no longer have a field with the same name (e.g. 2 text fields wherein the user would type something into field #1 and field #2 would also display the text - useful for client forms).Thank you for any and all help.

I am creating a pdf form by using Acrobat, and I would like to associate a checkbox to an image.In particular, I want to display an image if a user clicks on the corresponding checkbox, and hide the image again when user removes the check.How can I refer to an image? Is it possible?I would appreciate any simple js code examples  for achieving this.

Acrobat = Application('Adobe Acrobat');Acrobat.activate();delay(1);this.getField("technotes").value = "This is only a test.";Acrobat activates, but balks at this.Getfield, with error this.Getfield is undefined! Wha??? But if I tell applescript to do as javascript then this.getField works fine!

So, I've been out of the Acro JavaScript loop for a while, but my new role is bringing back to this. Any guidance is appreciated.I have a form that can have up to five different signatures. (completed by, reviewed by, manager one, manager two, senior manager). The form must have completed by/reviewed by signed. However, either of those could be a manager as well. If neither are, then a manager must sign.All that's well and good, but when the form is signed, it needs to move down the workflow until its final submission (likely in SharePoint).Each signature along the way will must be allowed to add to other fields on the form.My though pattern is to email the form as FDF. Problem is that doc.mailForm() doesn't retain the signature.Can someone point me in the right direction? Essentially, my final flow should be something that accomplishes this:Completed by completes form and signs. Then sends for review.Reviewed by reviews the document, comments on previous comments (held in text fields)

I'm trying to find a way to populate a form field by pulling data from an excel file that gets frequently updated. This will be used for a tracking number that will be incremented when new products are released so anyone can know what number to use by just opening the PDF form.For example, the excel file will have the number "1278" as the last number in Column B, so when the PDF is opened the field will have the number "1278." Whenever someone adds to the excel file and opens a new PDF, the last number will be filled in for them.Is this even possible? I heard you can do it with exporting the excel file but I don't want that to be necessary every time it is used.Thanks so much!

I have Adobe Pro and want to upload document to send vie email for digital signature.  I also have a Echosign/Esign account.  When I try to connect to Esign directly from Adobe Pro and upload my document I get the following message: "Your Session has time out. Please close the window and try again."  I have closed it several times and tried but always gives me this message.  How do fix this?

Dear friends,I need to resize/scale the button icon Image to dimensions which are lesser in size than button dimensions.Let say I have this image where the icon Image scaled to the Button's dimensions - And I need it like this - The star is png image with transparency, thus red - it is just button's fill property.Javascript solution needed, please.Thanks a lot!!

Hi guys. Wondering if it's possible to concatenate a string in to the this getField() property.I'll elaborate.I have a script writing pro forma with two main text fields SCRIPT-1 and SCRIPT-2. (The same page is saved as a template.)With a button I can spawn a new page with new text fields then the fields names become P1.ScriptPage.SCRIPT-1 and P1.scriptfile.SCRIPT-2.Each page increments the 'P' value by one for the UID.What I want to do is run a simple for loop to run through all the iterations of SCRIPT-1 and 2 on each page and bring them in to a single variable for outputting in a single textbox 'all2oneText'. This all2oneText is on a third spawned page of a different template.This is the code I am using. Can someone help me to correct it?getField("all2oneText").value = this.getField("SCRIPT-1").valueAsString + "\n";getField("all2oneText").value += this.getField("SCRIPT-2").valueAsString + "\n";//gets SCRIPT-1 and SCRIPT-2 in to all2oneTextif(numPages > 2){getField("all2oneText").

Dear friends,I am building dynamic PDF file.I'd like to hide an icon from the button field in a way when the background color (fill) is still visible/preserved.Which method/property should I use in Javascript? Is it possible at all??Thanks a lot.

I consider myself computer savvy and I can generally pick up on things real quick, but this JavaScript is giving me a headache.  I have Acrobat DC and have created a couple simple forms so far.  The simple calculations are easy enough, but now I must delve into the more complicated scripting calculations and I just don't understand where to start.  I've read all sorts of blogs and forums, studies the instructions provided by adobe and i seem more confused.  In the example form shown below, I want to have an employee enter a few fields and have the form calculate the rest as specified below:1. Column "Pay Date" PaymentD_1 should equal Repayment_Start_Date as entered by the employee.2. The rest of the PaymentD_xx should be PaymentD_1 + 14 days so that it is every two weeks.3. Total_Due needs to be Amount, plus sales tax if the Sales_Tax_Included box is unchecked, otherwise it equals Amount.4. Column "Amount" would be Total_Due divided by 13.5. Column "Balance" would b

Hello everybody. Im creating an interactive pdf with buttons that can replace images using event.target.buttonImportIcon(); command. Some of these images are .png, so they have an alpha (transparency). The problem is that the replaced images with this command appears without alpha, and inserts white instead of transparency.is there any way to insert .png images with their alpha? thanks!
