Hello all,I have adobe pro X and have created an action to extract the first page of a pdf from a folder and then save the extraction to another folder.How can I run this on a schedule or every time new pdfs are placed into the folder?

Hi all;TL;DR - I need to place a tag that I will later substitute with data in the PDF. If possible I want to have a short set of text that is visible and a longer set of text that is the full tag and that can be viewed as a tool tip.Full use case - I am trying to fit our docgen solution to use a PDF as a template for a document. This is for the case of say a tax document where the form is provided as a PDF and parts of it need to be populated with data. So the PDF itself is not adjusted, it's just enter the data in the appropriate spots in the document. Where the data is entered, we want it exactly lined up, not too high or too low. The tag we place there can be a very long select statement (or several). We don't want that rendering all over the document, but rather would like something like "[FirstName]" as the visible part. But there are times the user does need to see the entire select so having it all show as a tooltip to that short text would be great.How should I do this? Both h

I have a form that I would like to flow somewhat like a flow-chart. For example, each question will be answered by a yes or no radio button choice. Depending on the choice, one of two read-only text fields will become visible (either telling the user that they are done or telling them to continue on to the next question). In addition, I would like for both text fields to be hidden in the beginning (and also to become hidden once again when the form is reset and the radio buttons cleared).

Hello,I am trying to optimize multiple PDFs at once.Can anyone help?

I am using JavaScript to programmatically create bookmarks to specific pages (e.g. bookmarkRoot.children[0].children[0].createChild("My Bookmark", "this.pageNum=77");).This works but I am sending the PDF to a company who do not allow JavaScript within documents. Is there a way to set a bookmark to a destination page programmatically without associating it with a JavaScript action?I can go into the document, click on each bookmark to go to the correct page, then select Set Destination and that will replace the JavaScript actions with Adobe actions but I have to do this for many documents so would like to find an automated way of doing it.

Need help with a javascript please. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro xiForm has a Received, Paid and Balance column. All formatted to number. I have a script that calculates. I am using the following Custom calculation script that works fine:var a=this.getField("BRow1");var b=this.getField("RRow2");var c=this.getField("PRow2");var d=this.getField("BRow2");d.value=(a.value+b.value)-c.value;I need an "if" statement. If var b (received) is empty and if var c (paid) is empty then var d (Balance) is blank. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I need to generate a PDF417 barcode image as PDF, given a certain value from a textfield.I followed this thread (Is there not a method to add a barcode field via Javascript? ) and successfully added an image on a button, but I have to generate another image and then load it again on that button. Is there any way to generate an image using Javascript, without browser support, just the Adobe API?

I have an action wizard with a Preflight fix followed by Reduce File Size (Image 1).  I have a "Move to Option" on the Preflight fix (Image 2).When I apply this action wizard to a pdf with a file name of 017.pdf, the file name is completely changed and saved as "A9RB40B.tmp" file in c:\Automatically Labeled Exhibits. Why?  When I remove the Reduce File Size from the Action Wizard, I get a 017.pdf file like normal but obviously then I don't have a reduced file size.How do I prevent this?  I want to retain the file name and .pdf. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.16 on Windows 7.Image 1:Image 2:

Can someone help me with a JavaScript question?  I'd like to create a new field which I'll call Control Number.  This field would be comprised of the first four letters in "Last Name" combined with the current date to create what would amount to a 10 digit field (NNNNDDDDDD).  This is a low volume form, so I'm not concerned about the potential for a duplicate control number.  It is essentially for reference purposes.

Hi,I have tried searching Google for this but can't find the right thing. I have a PDF file with around 1500 pages. All of which are individualised instances of the same letter. Is there any way I can run a script that will separate these letters based on a list I have currently in Excel.Thank You

I need to perform a calculation in a textfield with booth addition and subtraction. Add two previous textfields and subtract another textfield.What does that looks like in javascript?

I'm trying to set up a form so that two text fields will populate with a default text (separate text in each text field) at the same time.Below is a screenshot of the fields.So, for example, if I select Utah (from 14 options) from the drop down menu in "State," "OH Fund Center" will auto-populate with APWSWR4949 and "OH WBS" will auto-populate with FR49.73. Here is the script I have been using in the Calculate tab in Properties for the OH Fund Center box:var v1 = this.getField("RecState").valueAsString;  if (v1=="Colorado") event.value = "APWSWR0808";  if (v1=="Idaho") event.value = "APWSWR1616";if (v1=="Montana") event.value = "APWSWR3030";if (v1=="Nebraska") event.value = "APWSWR3131";if (v1=="Nevada") event.value = "APWSWR3232";if (v1=="New Mexico") event.value = "APWSWR3535";if (v1=="Oklahoma") event.value = "APWSWR4040";if (v1=="Oregon") event.value = "APWSWR4141";if (v1=="South Dakota") event.value = "APWSWR4646";if (v1=="Tennessee") event.value = "APWSWR4747";if (v1==

Hello!I am developing a PDF form in which I need people to report on events, so I created a line like this:Events where video was screenedName of event:____________________ Date of event:__________ Approx..# of attendees:_____Can I add a button or an action to this line so that people can add more events as needed?for example a + button that when press another line for an event will appear and the rest of the form will move accordingly to create the space necessary or a scroll. like this:Name of event: _________________ Date of event:___________ Approx. # of attendees:_____[add more events] <----this can be a button----/>I will really appreciate your help with this

Dear allI am looking for possible solutions to make my PDF document as efficient as possible. Therefor I want to make all ordering numbers (nnn.nnn) clickable for the user, so if he/she clicks on an ordering number he/she will be linked to our eshop and the corresponding number will be automatically placed in the right field.I know that you can send formula values to a web formula and also that you have certain possibilities with javascript. But I have no approach how to solve this problem. Can you maybe help me by explaining: Which possibilities exist in Adobe Acrobat or InDesign to solve this problem? What are the borders or the maximum Adobe PDF/InDesign can send to the website?What is it that Adobe can send (a special type of data / file format)?Do you know an example that can be found in the internet?Thanks a lot for your help! I am looking forward to it.

I have a drop down with items and prices. Pretty basic. Is it possible to have a heading category that is not selectable, but item and price would? This is what I'm talking about.Dropdown items:  Carriage bolts //Category heading not selectable  1/2" x 3/8"  1/2" x 9/16"  etc.  Hex bolts //Category heading not selectable  1/2" x 5/8"  etc.  Zinc Flat Washers //Category heading not selectable  3/8" (bolt size)  etc.Would it be possible via javascript? Or, at all? Can someone chime in and let me know. Thanks.

Long story short I figured out a simple way to calculate time in PDF using the export value field in the drop down selection list based on 24 hours. I broke the drop downs into three groups Hours (1-12 exports 1-12), Mins (in 15 min chunks based on 1 hr numerical value in export 15=0.25) and the AM/PM (AM 0 or adds 12 hours for PM) for both start and end times along with a break time (1-2 hours in 15 min chunks). The formula works fine for getting the fields, adding them up, and the subtracting the to the the total time worked, even breaking over the midnight barrier (which I had used in another version where the drop down menu contained all 24 hours in 15 min chunks but for this pdf it was too clunky to use the drop down that large). The trouble I noticed is when you use any 12 PM combo with AM time (it creates a midnight crossover because of the math). I then tried to add an else to the if statement doing the midnight crossover and keep getting the error invalid assignment left-hand

So now that I fixed my validation script for showing and hiding the layers in my acrobat form see (Show/hide layer from drop down menu based on conditions ) I am now having trouble getting the appropriate fields to show.I have three drop down menus:"1a Performer type""1b Performer type""1c Performer type"Each of the above have the following options:" " (single space default) (export value = 0)"Role" (export value = 1)"Understudy Role" (export value = 2)I have the following fields:"1 Performance Engagement Length""1 Performance Fee""1 Total Performance Fee""Type of Fee"Here is the code I have created for the "1b Performer type" drop down menuvar Performer1a = this.getField("1a Performer type").value;//default and role OR role and role selected - display Performance fields, hide Type of Fee fieldif ( ((event.value ==" ") && (Performer1a==1)) || (( event.value=="Role") && (Performer1a ==1)) ){this.getField("1 Performance Engagement Length").display = display.visible;this.g

I want to set up the drop down field to where when the item is chosen the price for that item shows up in a different text field.So if they pick Tin from the "Material Options" drop down field the price $.04 will show up in the "Price" text field.  What do I need to do to set that up?  I was thinking JavaScript but do not know how to set it up.  Can someone please help me w/ the right code?Also, after the price shows up in the Price text field, can that field still be calculated w/ a different text field?

I have added buttons in a fillable form to add images. I have used javascript event.target.buttonImportIcon();. This seems to work fine for the first button but doesn't work for subsequent buttons. I have used the same script in each button. Suggestions?

I'm not fluent in JAVASCRIPT. I want to print blank forms that require a sequential number on each one. I was able to get it to print and change the number each time I printed, but each copy has the same number. Anyone have suggestions? I'm using Acrobat 8.
