Acrobat SDK

According to the Adobe Acrobat SDK: JavaScript™ for Acrobat® API Reference, a precompiled bytecode version of several JavaScript files in the App JavaScript folder was used to improve the performance of Acrobat Pro.I have several folder-level JavaScript programs.1. Can I use a precompiled bytecode version of my folder-level JavaScript programs with Acrobat Pro? If so how can I use it?2. Would it improve Acrobat's performance?3. How can I generate a precompiled bytecode version of my JavaScript programs?I have several document-level JavaScript programs.1. Can I use a precompiled bytecode version of my document-level JavaScript programs with Acrobat Pro? If so how can I use it?2. Would it improve the performance of Acrobat Pro?Thanks.

So when creating a dialogue using app.execDialog(), it is possible to have a hierarchical box list with the element type "hier_box_list".It is then possible to get a return of the child node that is selected. However, I haven't find a way to get anything returned if I have a parent node selected.I used the example 4 from the JavaScript API, page 84-87, to create the code below. Unfortunately this just returns a "undefined" when a parent node (like "Chapter 1", "Section 1", or "Section 2") is selected.var dialog4 = {    selection : {        "Chapter 1" : {            "Section 1" : {                "SubSection 1" : -1,                "SubSection 2" : -2,            },  &nbs

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI running Version 11.0.18 under Windows 10.1. A user opens a PDF document. The document has a long-running process executing. The process(written in JavaScript) uses app.setInterval and the thermometer object. In the meantime, theuser opens another PDF document. When the user closes the other PDF document, the processin the document with a long-running process stops and reports the following in the console:     DeadObjectError: Object is dead.     Thermometer.end:50:Doc undefined:ExecI simulated the long-running process using a test PDF document and it reports a similarbehaviour. Is this a bug?I can uploaded a test document that simulates the long-running process if anyone is interested.2. I noticed that the thermometer gui is covered when the panel on the right is opened. It wouldbe nice if the thermometer gui can be moved around by the user.3. I also noticed that when the thermometer is long the exit button is some

Hi, I'm editing PDF with Fill&Sigh and writing in Hebrew - which supposed to be written from right to left, but when I leave the Fill&sign back to the normal mode it is shown backwards - from left to write. It's as if in english it would show "taborca" when you write "acrobat".... Obviously can't work with that... can't read, print or send it to anyone.Can someone help me figure out how to fix that?Thanks!Niva

How can I access the clipboard Acrobat X uses for non-text using a C# program?  I can access the one it uses for text with no problems since it's the standard Windows clipboard.

Hi everyone,I am self taught with javascript and adobe so please bear with me!I have just finished making a massive form which on the second page there is a list of questions with yes or no for the answer and if they click Yes it spawns a template page which they can fill out, then go back and continue to next question.  Problem is, on these templates I have javascripts that include the names of the fields.  When the page spawns, it changes the name of the fields and then the javascript doesnt work.  Is there anyway to overcome this problem?

I made a calculator that calculates the number of posts for a line of fence. It works fine. What I would like to do now is to add four text fields to be populated with the total posts for the particular line. For instance, I'm figuring the North side line has 6 posts, I would like this total to populate into the Line.North text field. Then reset the fields of the calculator but not the Line.North text field it would stay populated. So now I want to calculate the total posts for the South side line. The line measurement is different than the North side, so this total should populate Line.South text field but not effect Line.North. Basically, if the Line.North text field is populated then the next total will go into Line.South text field and so on for Line.East and Line.West. Can someone help me with the correct javascript? Can this even be done? Please let me know. Thanks.At the moment, I use this script attached to a check box that does want I want. But, I would like to eliminate the c

I have a form that requires only the last 4 digits of a social. I am using a custom validation script to check for 4 values in length:event.rc = true; if (event.value.length == 4){event.target.textColor = color.black; }     else {     app.alert("The entered value needs to be 4 characters long.");             event.target.textColor = color.red; } The customer has requested to allow a dash character "-" before the numbers and still validate that 4 numbers have been added. This is in case the user wants to add a "-" before the numbers. I removed the format for numbers and set the limit to 5 characters, but now it validates the "-" before the numbers as the length and if 3 numbers are entered it renders true which is wrong. Example, -123.Is there a way to only count the numbers entered and nothing else?

I am creating an inventory form that has columns of Par, QOH and Amount to OrderField NamesP1 | Q1 | O1___________P1 - Q1 = O1Par # - Quantity on Hand # = Amount to orderExample:If par is set at 6 and QOH is 4 we need to order 2. [6-4=2]BUT, if par is set at 6 and QOH is 8 we do not need to place an order but the output is negative (-2). [6-8=(2)]How do I make the output show zero when the calculation shows a negative answer?

I'm creating a form that lists employee names and using a document level function that calls an variable array in a custom keystroke script in a combobox.The end goal is to auto populate the employee's supervisor if the event will commit. Both are comboboxes and both are set to allow the user to enter custom text. I wanted to provision for new hires whose name may not be in the combobox yet.The code works and I've been using it for years, however I want to create a condition that states if the event value does not equal the function, it resets the supervisor combobox. I wanted to do this in the event the employee looks for their name but can't find it and it ends up populating with someone else's name.How would I go about this? If I take out lines 7-9 of the custom keystroke script, the script works except for the condition in which custom text is entered.Document Level Function://I left out the variables but below is a one line example of it.var getSupervisor = {"Employee Name":{ supe

I have a bunch of bottle labels in .pdf format. Currently I am editing each individual label to place two fields on them. The fields are "MonthPrinted" and "YearPrinted." Once I place the two fields on the label I add the following code to the Document Action "Document Will Print"     var f = this.getField("MonthPrinted");     f.hidden = false;     f.value = util.printd("mmm", new Date());     var g = this.getField("YearPrinted");     g.hidden = false;     g.value = util.printd("yyyy", new Date());This works fine, but I now need to redo about 4000 labels and I am looking for a way to do this as a batch process so I don't have to add this code to each new .pdf file. In a past life I was a programmer (in assembler language, which tells you how old I am) but I am not familiar with newer languages and scripts.Since this is for a business, I am willing to pay someone to as

I'm trying to write a script which allows the user to click a button which will perform a calculation and fill in the "CompletedValue" field with the results. The script I've written currently looks like this:var cV = this.getField("CompletedValue").value;var pV = this.getField("PresentValue").value;if (cV.value!='' || cV.value!=null){getField("CompletedValue").value="";var X = Math.ceil((pV*(100/75))/100)*100;this.getField("CompletedValue").value = X.ToString;}else{var X = Math.ceil((pV*(100/75))/100)*100;this.getField("CompletedValue").value = X.ToString;}When I click the button, however, I am getting the error messages "The value entered does not match the format of the field [ CompletedValue ]".The CompletedValue field is currently formatted to Numbers, 0 decimals & no currency symbol. If I change the format to None, I do not get the error, but the value that shows in my field is 'undefined'.I've alternatively tried to write (what I believe is) the problem line like this:this.g

I have a form with a Submit button.  Can I create a pop-up message that appears when the form is submitted to say something like, "Thanks.  Your form has been submitted".

Can a template be created to add the same fillable fields to different PDFs?For example: I need to add specific fillable fields to a form for clients to fill out. The forms are the same, only the client information would change. I don't want to manually add the fillable fields to every client's form. I tried the auto fill feature but doing so selects spaces in the form that I don't want fillable. Any suggestions?

I work with quite a few layers (aka OCGs / optional content groups) in order to have multiple locales within the same document. I wrote a few scripts that help to lock layers (so they cannot be made visible from within the UI), and to show or hide layers (based on a pattern matching of their name). These functions basically loop through all layers and conditionally chage the locked, state or initState properties is this kind of way:this.getOCGs().locked = true;this.getOCGs().state = isVisible;this.getOCGs().initState = isVisible;Now, at about 40 to 50 layer property manipulations (no matter if the same layer or different layers), Acrobat simply crashes. These crashes were consistantly reproducable on any version since Acrobat X (Reader and Pro), both on Mac and Windows (whereas the Windows Version seems to allow a few more manipulations).Is there any known workarround? If not, how can we paying customers make Adobe fix this as quickly as possible?ThanksDirkUpdate: acutally, not just pr
