Hello. Using the Acrobat API, how can I write a script that does whatFile->Create->Combine Files into Single PDFdoes in Acrobat. I need to do this for thousands of PDF files, so it can't be done by hand. I need some way to automate it. The files have a rigid naming convention, so I can easily generate the name strings automatically. Is there a way to do this using the JavaScript API, or maybe the PDFL API? I know how to open, read in, and write out PDF files, but what calls are needed to actually combine them into one single document? Thanks.

Is it possible to redact multiple PDFs (30,000 of them) when the text search function is not working successfully?  I need to redact SSNs, but they are hand-written and are not recognized by the "search and replace" function.  But they're all in the same space on the documents.  So, is it possible to redact, say, using the same spot in a PDF across multiples?  Like two inches from the bottom, three from the left, and 1/4 inch x 3 inch redaction box?  I'm using Acrobat DC.  Thanks.

I am on an iMac 27inch Mid 2010 running Yosemite 10.10.

I am having problems in using Acrobat Pro DC. When I open a PDF file for reading, Acrobat hangs on for several seconds with a "Not responding" message. The screen sometimes gets gray. After freezing for several seconds, the system works normally.Sometimes the freezing starts when I close Acrobat. On other occasions, the "Not responding" notice does not appear, but the document cannot be scrolled for some seconds.I am running Acrobat under Windows 8.1.Any suggestion on where the problem originates from, and on how to fix it?Max

I have a form that has 3 standard pages(fillable) with several templates arranged into three categories (instructions).  I would like for the user to be able to print only the instructional pages needed by selecting them from a menu button. Is it possible to place the templates into an array by category that can be selected from a menu for printing? var cChoice = app.popUpMenu( "Category A", "Category B", "Category C);if (cChoice !=null){    switch (cChoice) {            case "Category A":                    var a = new Array("Template_Page1", "Template_Page2", "Template_Page3", "Template_Page4","Template_Page5");                        for (i = 0; i < a.length; i++){      

A week ago I knew nothing about pdf file internal formats or how to write an adobe plugin, but now I have successfully created a plug in to convert the bookmarks to named destinations and then export these named destinations to a text file.  I have one bug to fix, though, the situation where the destination name tree does not exist.  I could really use some help to finish this off. Question 1: So I use the following to get the name tree:PDNameTree pdNameTree = PDDocGetNameTree(pdDoc, ASAtomFromString("Dests"));My first issue is how to test for whether this is null. if (pdNameTree == NULL)andif (PDNameTreeEqual(pdNameTree, NULL))are not acceptable syntax.So I'm usingif (!PDNameTreeIsValid(pdNameTree))instead.  Does that seem like an acceptable practice?  Is there any other way to test if a Destinations name tree already exists?Question 2: After determining that there is no destinations name tree, how do I create one?  I see the function PDNameTreeNew in the API,

Hello,I am running this custom script to figure a field, problem is they want the sum to be a percentage rounded to 4 decimal points, but when I set the field to be a number and limit it to the 4 decimal points, the field gives an error because the custom script is putting a "NaN" in the field when there are no numbers to calculate. This NaN is not a number and causes the error message that it does not comply with the allowed format of the field.// Get first field value var v1 = getField("DSW-Total Payments").value; // Get second field value var v2 = getField("DSW-Total Monthly Income").value; // Set this field value equal to the difference event.value = v1 / v2 * 100;Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I thought I'd cracked it with this: bookmarkRoot.createChild({cName: this.documentFileName, cExpr: "this.pageNum++", nIndex: 0});However, it inserts the bookmark at page 2. I've done some reading and found out why this happens - createChild makes a bookmark on the page after the hidden root bookmark.Is it possible to achieve?NB: after running this script on a large number of PDFs my plan is to combine them into one document, then use another script to create a contents list.

I have a Lotus Notes Application which I use LotusScript (Similar to VB) to take a PDF template and fill it with data and save.

I have been trying to find coding examples to do what I have done in Notes in either Javascript or ActiveX. I currently have Acrobat Pro and will be getting DC sometime soon. Can anyone provide any information where to find some examples?I have searched Google and Adobe but everything I am finding deals with C#, Java, or other software. I am limited to PL/SQL, javascript, or using ActiveX.

I'm suddenly seeing that some laser printers are printing black blobs in PDFs that I create. It seems to be a font issue as the blobs are only in text and look like mutations in the font. My commercial printer doesn't seem to have problems with the files, and the files print with no problems on ink jet printers.  The files also print OK when I use "print as image". That's OK for me, but I need to create files that my clients can print without worries. Is there a setting I'm missing?

I need some help but I'm not sure this is possible.I have a fillable PDF document that will need three different people to 'approve' or 'acknowledge' it.I have a check box ('ProjectManagerAcceptance') 'required' (when they check on the box the 'date' field (ProjectManagerDate) is automatically populated - already have this script and it is working) and the person then types their name in the 'Project Manager Name' field and they are done and they save it. But once it is saved I want the second check box to become 'required' so the next person has to acknowledge it (date is automatically populated when 2nd checkbox is checked) and once they save it the third and final box is set to 'required' for the third person.Below I have shown the 1st check box required, then the 2nd one I want required only after the the first one has been checked and saved, followed by the 3rd one to become required after the second one has been checked and saved.If I set all three check boxes as 'required' than
