Acrobat SDK

I recently installed Windows 10 Enterprise (64 bit) on Dell Optiplex 9010 PC with 16 GB RAM as a clean new install.  After re-installing my Acrobat XI Standard registered version that came with my Fujitsu scanner, I am UNABLE TO OPEN MULTIPLE PDF FILES AT THE SAME TIME due to crash. I ran the update - currently running 11.0.15 version.  I also changed the Screen Reader Options / Page vs Document to "Only read the currently visible pages" but is still crashing. Does anyone know of another setting that needs to be looked at when running Windows 10 so that I can open multiple files at the same time without crashing?

The problem is sporadic, so there isn't a set amount of highlighting that I do that triggers it. Sometimes it occurs after I try and highlight the first line, other times I make it through most of the document before there is an issue. When the program freezes I can typically still save the document if I click the icon fast enough, but after that the whole program freezes. This also freezes my laptop and I have to resort to opening the task manager through keyboard shortcuts in order to close the program. Once I do this, everything unfreezes.I am running Adobe Acrobat DC Pro on Windows 10 Home Version 1607.I have seen some other similar issues, but no specific fixes. I have already attempted to repair the program and have reinstalled it twice. I also had Adobe Reader installed on my system and fully removed it in case the two were interfering with each other. Neither of these actions have corrected the problem.Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hello!I am wondering if there is any way to create a dropdown list with duplicate values in it. I have a list of numbers which when selected populate a description in a separate field. I have one number that needs to appear twice in the list, and populate one of two descriptions based on the export value.Any ideas?Thank you!

When creating a form using Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017, how can I format a text field ('Text_A' at top of page) to auto populate other text fields ('Number_1', 'Number_2', etc. at bottom of page) within the form? I want to minimize the number of times the form user has to type in the same information within a 10 page form. I included a mock up form below. From my research, it appears I'll need to add JavaScript to the Action tab within the Properties box.  I am a novice at JavaScript.  If you can help me, please include the code and necessary steps to complete the task.Thank you in advance as this formatting request is the final step needed to meet my deadline.

I found the same question on the forum, and the only reply was "why do you want to do that?"  That's an absurd question.  If you can't be helpful, don't increase your number of posts with worthless fluff.

I'm sorry for not taking a more research based approach but this is a side project for my job that I can't put too much time into - I apologize if some of these questions are just very silly.My form is meant to use if/then calculations to return information based on data from 240ish fields that may or may not end up with data in them. The fields will be populated with information pulled from another program and are broken into three types of field "__.AC1/2/3" "__.EX1/2/3" AND "__.FN1/2/3" the idea being that AC1/EX1/FN1 will end up being populated with the information specific to one object.The code I'm currently working on is below:var a = this.getField("FLB.EX1").valuevar b = this.getField("FLB.EX2").valuevar c = this.getField("FLB.EX3").valuevar nr = event.valuevar n1 = getField("FLB.FN1").valueAsStringvar n2 = getField("FLB.FN2").valueAsStringvar n3 = getField("FLB.FN3").valueAsStringvar em1 = getField("EM.EX1").valuevar em2 = getField("EM.EX2").valuevar em3 = getField("EM.EX3").v

In October 2015, Adobe added a tabbed interface to the subscription of Acrobat DC Pro and even to the free Acrobat DC Reader.For reasons unknown that only disrespect owners of the desktop licensed version of Acrobat DC Pro, Adobe refuses to issue an update that adds the tabbed interface. For heaven's sake, Adobe, you're giving away the tabbed interface in your free Acrobat DC Reader. So why not add it for us paying customers with the desktop perpetual licensed Acrobat DC Pro (and Standard)? If I were cynical, I'd suspect this is a marketing ploy to get us to switch to the relatively expensive subscription version of Acrobat DC Pro, but you're giving it away for free in Acrobat DC Reader.Could Adobe please have the decency to issue an update to the desktop perpetual licensed Acrobat DC Pro and Standard that adds the tabbed interface to it? It's been nine months since you added it to the subscription DC version and the free DC Reader version. That's enough of a pregnant pause.Thank you.

Is there a way to use the automation script from Thom Parker to redact an area of one page and then a different area of another page?What I'm trying to do is redact the name and address from page 1 of a letter (which I can do with Thom's script); but then I want to redact some other details on page 3 which aren't in the same place as the data on page 1. Is it possible to write this into the script or should I split the script in two and redact the information from page 1 before running a second script to redact the data on page 3.Kind regards,Martin

Hi guys and thank you for your answers!I have about 8 radio buttons in same group that intent to target only one Text field, so depending on user choice the Text field have a different text, how can I accomplish this using Javascript instead of creating 8 different Text fields/Default Values.Thank you for your answers! I tried:var f = this.getField("Target");f.value = util.printd("This is a dummy text, This is a dummy text, This is a dummy text "());but obviously didn't work! 

I can't print and create a PDF file like I use to be able to before I had to do a complete reinstall after my computer's Windows crashed.

Hi Everyone,I would like to send some PDF-Documents to someone ouside of our Organisation. I would like them not to be changeable until a certain expiration date. After expiration I would like them to change automatically the secutrity setting to require a password to get opened. The goal is that the person has an expiration date and after that date he or she cannot open the file. Before that date he or she cannot change the data.Does anybdy have any idea? Could it be done by Javascriping?I would be very grateful.RegardsMsanbari

Hi All,I am using JSOObject in my IAC project to export the Annotation in the PDF using ExportAsFDF Method.But when FDF is generated it is exporting the reference of the PDF instead of the actual Annotation.can you please help me with this.From JAVAScript I am able to export it correctly.

I have a reset button on my PDF that resets all form fields and would also like to delete any signatures using the "fill and sign" scribble tool (not the digital signature).I am using the following code to try and accomplish this, but is not working (assuming the signature is not an annotation but an image?)Is it possible to remove the scribble signature?this.syncAnnotScan();var annots = this.getAnnots({nPage:0});if (annots) {    var num = annots.length;    for (var i = num - 1; i > -1; i--) {       annots.destroy();    }}

Currently I can not print and create a PDF file which I could before my Windows crashed and I had to reinstall all my software.  I used File, Print, gave the name of the file and location where the file was to be saved and a PDF file would be created.  I only get an error message in the print queue or nothing happens at all. 

Hi all:Working with Acrobat X Pro; would like to have a long, locked text field  ("txtWarning") with a default value advising the user to re-open the form with Reader/Acrobat and make sure javascript is enabled for helpful navigation and calculations. (So the default assumption is javascript is either disabled or it's been opened by something other than Reader or Acrobat - aka friggin' Preview.)Seems it should be possible to then, on document open, test to see if javascript is enabled, and if it is, change the value of this.getField("txtWarning").value to something other than the warning --- a helpful hint or something.  Been reading a lot about OCG layers, etc. for the problem of Preview in MAC or javascript being disabled but can't find anything on just determining if javascript is enabled, which would seem to be the first step.Thanks!Brian

I am working with Adobe Acrobat for about 6 years (since the time of acrobatusers.com). I have created thousands of forms with javascript. Today I faced a strange problem that broke me. I have written this code in a textbox calculate eventapp.alert("Hello World");According to my experience it should show a message "Hello Word" every time the form is opened. But it is not showing any message. I am on Windows 10 (64 bit) with Acrobat 11 and Reader DC.I have tried it on my old laptop Windowns 10 (32bit) but the problem is same.Please, please help me.

Help with JavaScript

Page items display changes based on item selected in dropdown  box. For example, if I select US, the 2nd dropdown box will list all the states, if I select China, the 2nd dropdown box will show another set of value for province.

Hey gals & guys,I am making a self-assessment test with 5 questions. Each question has 3 answers. There is no right or wrong answer. Each of the answers is 0, 1 or 2 points. Is there a way to use JavaScript to calculate the final results and output some text in a field and fill it with color? And is there a way to decide the color based on text? Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

I want to create Adobe forms for internal employee use.  These forms will not be published on the web.  I created my first form and since it had fairly simple calculations I was able to muddle through it.  For my next project, there are some relatively simple formulas if I were using excel.  However, I need help with actually getting the process started.  Specific questions are:1. Must I add custom calculation script to each individual box or can I use the JavaScript tool to write code for the entire form?2. Where do I start since I am not publishing to html?  My research indicates that JavaScript should be placed into html code...do I really need to do this?3. Before I get overly ambitious (it may be too late), I want to make sure it is possible to do what I want to do.  So based on the below, I want the PaymentD_"x" boxes to use the Repayment_Start_Date +14 days...thus a payment every two weeks.  I think with these points answered, I will be ab

Hi all,We install Acrobat (either standard or the pro version) on WIN 7 or WIN 10. By default window creates an "Adobe PDF" printer. When our application (written in C++ using VS2015), prints to the default printer, in this case "Adobe PDF"; normally the print dialog comes up and you can specify name and folder location for the PDF output. I can disable the Print Dialog box and system uses the default applications window title. There are various options in Acrobat to setup folder path and other features of the Acrobat. But, I like to configure the output file name and path through our application.I have downloaded and spent many hours reading.... no luck yet. Could somebody point me to the right direction.Any help is appreciated,..Terry

Hi!Sorry for this noob-question, but that is what I am.Regarding Acrobat Pro DC and field data export.I want to export field data to a CSV, with the field names in one vertical column and the field values in the next vertical column. Like this:Column A | Column BName 1    | Value 1Name 2    | Value 2I've been playing with the code below, switching places with ; and /n and /r but nothing gives the output I want.I can get all data in one vertical column or, with the code below, names and values in two separate vertical rows.Any tips?var fieldValues = [];  var fieldValuesNames = [];  for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++)  {   fieldValues.push(this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i)).value);    var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));    fieldValuesNames.push(f.name);    }this.createDataObject("output.csv",fieldValuesNames.join(";") + "\r\n" + fieldValues.join(";")); this.exportDataObject({ cNam

I have three fields. Two of them are input fields. Field1 is to enter the foot measurement of length of board. Field2 is to enter the specific size I want to get out of Field1. Like for example 8' / 3' = 2pcs. I don't want the scrap amount, just to show 2pcs. I have the following script to do the division,var v1 = +this.getField("Field1").value;var v2 = +this.getField("Field2").value;if (v2==0) event.value = "";else event.value = v1 / v2;the script works to do the division, but it rounds up. Unless I select one decimal place under the Number pane. But, I don't want that result. I would just like to see the whole number. Not the number with the decimal place. Does anyone know the javascript to enable me to do the calculation the way I'd like? Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi,I have users who have old versions of an action wizard (version 1.10 and version 1.11) I created.  I now have an update which is version 2.0.  I want to make it so that when they import version 2.0, the code looks for version 1.10 and 1.11 and deletes them.I realize there is a way to manually do this by going to Edit Actions and deleting the old action wizards.  However, I don't think my users will actually do it such that there will be 3 versions on their system.  I can imagine they will use the other versions which have some bugs.Hopefully someone can help.  I am using Adobe Acrobat XI.Thx.Sue
