Acrobat SDK

As all of you guys know creating forms and docs are ever changing. And, here I am in the middle of creating mine. I want to thank you guys for helping me with issues I've come up with. Now, I believe I've come up with yet another solution. A solution I'd like to use but can't figure out how to combine these scripts.What I came up with is a drop down that has 0%, 10%, 15%, 20%, etc. This is the script I have to just show/hide the fields.    Example:     this.getField("ItemA.1").display = event.value=="0%"? display.hidden : display.visible;this.getField("Itemb.1B").display = event.value=="0%"? display.hidden : display.visible;etc...At the moment I'm using two separate buttons to trigger the following scripts.Button to show:var f = this.getField("Item.1");f.alignment = "left";var f = this.getField("Itemb.1B");f.display = (f.valueAsString=="") ? display.hidden : display.visible;var f = this.getField("ItemA.1");f.display = (f.valueAsString=="") ? display.h

Hi,I used adobe acrobat pro XI to create a form with a "Send" command button that runs the javascript below to create an e-mail with standard subject and body text. I am trying to distribute this form to my coworkers that are using the abobe reader XI program so that they have 100% standard work when sending the associated notice. Whereas this button works perfectly for me, nothing happens when my co-workers click it. I've already enabled javascript on their programs and disabled enhanced security, but nothing I see in the online forums is working. Does anyone have any idea what I have to do in order for the Javascript below to work on the adobe reader platform?var sendto = "netia.ingram@denvergov.org";var statelicno = this.getField("StateLicNo").value;var applicationtype = this.getField("applicationtype").value;{this.mailForm(true,sendto,"","","Denver notice for " + applicationtype + " for " + statelicno,"Hi Ralph,\n\n" + "Please see attached Denver notification for a " + applicationt

I have a PDF form that has numerous fillable form fields.  I am using a validation script that will turn the field red if an incorrect answer is entered into the field.  I would like to be able to calculate the accuracy of the form using a java script or some other function.Ultimately, I would like to be able to arrive at an accuracy rate of Correct Fields vs. Total # of fields.I also have some text fields that I would like to omit from this calculation (fields that contain instructions, for example).Any recommendations?

I created a transcript template.  How can I make it calculate the Grade points Earned.If I input 6 in the credit hours attempted column and an "A" in the grade column, I would like for it to automatically calculate 24 in the grade points earned column.  How would I go about doing this?The grades would be:A = 4B = 3C = 2D = 1F = 0Thank you!

We use the AxInterop.AcroPDFLib.dll in our .net c# application for displaying pdfs on a windows forms application. I've created a demo in order to reproduce this behaviour:         public AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF m_AxPdf;        public Form1()        {            InitializeComponent();        }        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)        {            m_AxPdf = new AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF();            ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)m_AxPdf).BeginInit();            m_AxPdf.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;      &

Hello,Here below you find a script. If you run that script on a single file, you are able to tag a pdf file in the metadata field Author (file>properties).Problem now is: I have 1000 pdf files, when I run the script and choose a "watched folder" and I proceed, then the first pdf will be tagged. After tagging the first file, I need to re set my checkmark again! This I would like to tackle. The script should have to save the selection in his memory during the whole script procedure, so that you have to set the checkmark once instead of 1000 times.Once the script is done, the variable/memory of Acrobat should also be cleaned, because if I restart the script and I have to make another selection, this checkmark should then be used.I hope somebody can help this newbie....Kind regardsvar dialog2 =    {        initialize: function(dialog) {            // Set a default value for checkbox

Hi,I'm wondering if its possible to track page views and button clicks in a pdf?I understand that the reader will have to be javascript enabled but google isn't coming up with anything regarding triggering or sending tracking information to a web service.Is this possible?Thanks in advance.

Using Acrobat Standard DC, Office 2010 under Windows 7.My Word document contains hyperlinks to other (locally stored) files. After conversion with the Office PDFMaker add-in, the resulting links are of the open a web page type instead of open a file. When the mouse is positioned over the link, a small letter W is shown). Clicking on such a link opens the default browser first, followed by Adobe Reader because the browser plugin is disabled. I expect hyperlinks to local files to open the corresponding application, not the browser.In previous Acrobat Standard XI, this worked correctly, but was not 100% reproducible.How can I control how PDFMaker is processing hyperlinks to other files (such as PDFs)?

Each script functions but I'd like to have them work like this, the alignment would be set to left when Item.1 is visible and return to align center when hidden.First script:var f = this.getField("Item.1");f.display = (f.valueAsString=="") ? display.hidden : display.visible;Second script:var f = this.getField("Item.1"); f.alignment = "center";Third script:var f = this.getField("Item.1"); f.alignment = "left";Is this possible? Thank you.

Ist there a way to prevent printing a form until required data are filled into mandatory/compulsary fields?

I often need to convert emails to pdfs in my job, because sometimes the email contains certain information that needs to be redacted, such as student information.  I work for a university.  When the email being requested is pulled from several different accounts there is often the same email that appears in each account.  Is there a way to remove the duplicates before I start to review and redact, so I don't have to keep making the same redactions over and over?Thanks for any help.

Do I need Adobe Acrobat Professional to be able to use GetJSObject or is Adobe Acrobat Standard enough?I find it a tad frustrating that this kind of information is so hard to find. So hard indeed that I have to post a new question here to get the answer.The tech specs for the various versions should be readily available.

I created a form with a calculation column. For some reason when I try to add a positive number it is subtracting from the subtotal and when I use a -negative entry it adds to the subtotal. I am completely stumped. Any ideas?

We are experiencing a weird bug. We are fetching a pdf using <object> tag and then using object.printWithDialog() once it is loaded.The print preview looks fine, but when actually printing the paper comes out completely blank.However, if "Save Ink/Toner" is checked, it prints fine.Also, if the pdf is saved to disk first, opened in Acrobat Reader DC and then printed, it also prints fine.Do Adobe have an issue tracker like other software companies do? I haven't been able to find it yet.Any suggestions?

Hi everybody. I have a hot question for this theme.So what I want to do is: 1 button that copies all the selections and values in the first "Lot" to the second "Lot". So far I manage to create that button, and I can copy a text field using ( this.getField("landing designation - lot 2").value = this.getField("landing designation - lot 1").value; )  but when it comes to Radio buttons or checkboxes groups things are not that ease. I´m a very basic user without an extensive knowledge about JavaScript.So I´ll appreciate any help you guys be willing to give. Again thank´s for your time.

I understand how to show and hide fields with a button click. But, what I'm trying to do is, click a button and to show a field only if that field has a calculation from other fields. If no info is calculated from the other fields, then the field in question would remain hidden no matter how many times I click the button. But then, the fields that have been populated would show leaving the un-populated fields hidden. Can this be done? Here's a couple of scripts I've been playing around with but I can't get to where I want to go using them.Script:  this.getField("Item.1").display = display.hidden;and/or,if (this.getField("Item.1").valueAsString=="") event.target.display = display.hidden;else event.target.display = display.visible;Would someone teach me the correct script to do this and to help me out? Thanks.

I scan legal documents. On one of my last updates, something went awry and Enhanced scans started giving me weird options. I see this when I start out >Then when I select the SCAN option this pops up and I can only get image scans instead a crisp document that I need to forward to attorney's etc.I tried uninstalling Acrobat and reinstalling it, but this is still happening. How do I get the option to scan a document, not a color picture?Any and all help is appreciated. I called EPSON and they told me it was an ACROBAT issue.

I would like to align two text fields boxes based on a dropdown field with the option 'yes' or 'no'. if no is selected the two fields align.Here is my code (custom calculate script of event target field) which aligns the event target field to the top left hand corner of the test field. if (this.getField("dropdown").value != "No") {event.target.rect = this.getField("test").rect}The trouble is the event target field is resized to that of the test field!  I just want the fields to be aligned not resized.I've used the rect[1], rect[2] etc but can't seem to get it to work?Thanks

I'm trying to create a form that allows me to calculate the total of ticket sales.The tickets are 1 for $50, or 3 for $50.Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I have no knowledge of JavaScript, so I'm attempting to figure this out blindly.

Hi, could someone point me to a good resource with a list of adobe and/or javascript functions?  I created a bunch of forms with fields using the Number selection from the Format tab and thought everything was fine, but have now realized that small rounding errors accumulate, and the end result might be wrong by one or two cents. On the first form that I’m trying to correct, I have set the Format category to None, and now need to include the $ money sign, the comma separator, and two places after the decimal point.  From someone else’s post, in order to include two places after the decimal point, I’ve included in the Run Custom Validation Script:event.value = util.printf("%.2f", event.value);Is this OK to use, or will this also create problems?Is there a good resource of javascript syntax I could look at to figure out how to include decimal places, dollar signs and thousand comma separators?
