How to Create Drop Down Menu that will populate separate text box with multi line information of selection

Hi, I am a total newbie to Adobe Java (I am a vb programmer) and I am trying to apply strikeout to a block of text.My possible options are :-1. Add a checkbox or radio button to the left of each block of text. When a box is ticked then all the other options need to have the strikeout applied to the associated text. As the text is not in a textbox I tried adding a line, made of underscores, to a rich textbox and tried to make the mouseup event on the checkbox make the rich textbox visible. I get an error on line 1. Invalid something.2.Another idea was to duplicate the text in a rich textbox with strikeout true and making the textbox visible. Same problem.I think I am missing something either in the setup or the terminology.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Another alternative is if I can be pointed to a beginners set of tutorials. I am not having any luck finding some.Many thanks,Gray

Does anyone know how to iterate over a collection of PDFs using Powershell, looking for documents with specific information stored in one of the info properties, e.g., info.subject?As part of a document-workflow process I'm working on, I'm going to be storing values in some of the info properties, viz., Author, Subject, and Keywords.  It would be very useful to later be able to find PDF documents that have specific information stored in those properties.ThanksChristian Bahnsen

Hi all,I have to convert quite a lot AutoCAD drawings to PDF in order to put them into our document control system. I have just tested it on a few .dxf files and although, most files do convert okay, I came across a couple of issues straight away. 1. When one of the drawings had been converted around 30% of the drawing had been cut off from the sides.2. One of the drawing displayed a blank page when converted.I have checked these files in my AutoCAD viewer and they display correctly there. Am I doing something incorrectly to convert these files?Cheers,Alistair

I have a trusted function that I use to allow silent printing of a form when a button is clicked. Works great.However, would like to specify the printer that is used. Would like to do this using trusted function script as colleague and I using same form from shared location have different printers. Of note, using default printer is no good as that changes depending on what was last printed.Currently my working code is:sPrint = app.trustedFunction(function(bUI, bSilent){app.beginPriv();this.print(false, false);app.endPriv();});Somehow I think I need to add/incorporate this:var pp = this.getPrintParams();pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;pp.printerName = "Brother printer";this.print(pp);Can anyone please advise? Thank you.

Hi All  (new to this forum and to javascript).I have created a form with 3 signature fields plus an email button.I am able to "populate" my email with proper info, etc.I have figured out the use of unicode to enter line breaks since with my acrobat 9 the outlook email message is by default plain text.(i don't know how to make it "open" with a new message in HTML format)Form is basically filled out and approved by one person then emailed upwards for 2nd approval thenupwards again for a 3rd approval. Each email to the next "approver" is on a seperate button.(ie:  To BOB, To BILL, once all 3 signatures are in - To DISTRIBUTE)What I would like to do is add the name of the sender to my email message.I am thinking that the best way, is to get the name of the last person to sign the PDF.Assuming the last person to sign would have also hit the email button.I need some help in my triggers and coding to find out which of the 3 signature fields was last entered.I was thinking of using t

I need to generate a report to extract information from multiple pdf files.To get a report from a single pdf this script works fine tested from the console:var docfile = this.documentFileName;var rep = new Report();rep.size = 1.2;rep.color = color.blue;rep.writeText (docfile + "\r\n");rep.open("My Report")Not sure how to generate a single report listing document file names from multiple pdf files?Any assistance in help creating this report will be most appreciated - thank you.Update:I have modified the script to be an action script - there are separate reports generated for each document file name instead of a single report with multiple document file names listed in the one report. If any one can help that would be great.var docfile = event.target.documentFileName;var rep = new Report();rep.size = 1.2;rep.color = color.blue;rep.writeText (docfile + "\r\n");rep.open("My Report");console.println(docfile);

Hi all,I need to extract signatures information from PDF files in VBA (Mainly the signatory name and the signature date. The PDF files have several signatures inside them).So I have got some questions :- Is there a example somewhere to do such a thing?- Will I need Acrobat Pro for that purpose? This is an important point as the code is supposed to be ran on machines where ONLY Acrobat Reader is installed.- If the above is impossible, do you know about a command line utility that would do the thing (and that I could run from my VB code)Thank you for your helpEmphyrio

I need to tell the users where to put a folder level JavaScript file. For Windows I know the answer. I am working on a Windows 10 x64 PC and found the location of my Adobe Acrobat "Javascripts" folder to be C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\Javascripts\However, I would like to know where this folder is located on Mac OS (for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC).Is there somebody running Acrobat Pro DC and/or Acrobat Reader DC who can tell me the returned path of this JavaScript :app.getPath("app", "javascript");Thank you!

Hi there! My question to you is how can I calculate the sum of certain filled fields?For example in a PDF document I have some fields that need to be filled with name and surname and at the end of the document another field that represents the total of the "Name and surname" fields which shows how many persons are in this document. The operation shouldn't take in account blank/unfilled fields.Now I know I could do this with the simple "sum(+)" calculation but I'd have to enter a "1" for each of this field and I'd like to avoid that.

I installed Acrobate XI pro and distiller XI and FormsCentral simultaneously, but only FormsCentral could work properly. And Acrobate XI pro could only open PDF file which was inserted into word document. If open a PDF file, or just click on Acrobate XI pro and distiller XI icons, they would not open and all open windows began to flash. I tried reinstall, but it doesn't help.

Due to regulatory issues, we want our sales force to use specific flyers where they can alter only certain areas.  We've set up PDF forms for them to use (to add their local contact info, etc.).  They will fill this out in Reader, then save and send on as an email attachment to their customers.  If the customer is viewing this PDF on an iOS device, they won't see any of the form field info.  I've seen lots of work-arounds for this from the user end, but we cannot expect our customers to open up the PDF in a certain way or run javascripts on them so the form fields appear.  My question is:  Is there anything I can do to the form as I build it in Acrobat that will allow the sales rep to fill out the form in Reader, then execute an action...hit a button? export? what? To flatten the form fields so they will be visible to the customers who use iOS devices.  Once the form is filled out by the sales rep, it no longer needs to be editable, so flattening (or
