Hello,I have a text field formatted as a "date" or "mmmm d, yyyy" (or for example, "February 21, 2023").However, I cannot use my normal way of applying placeholder text or that is, the Default Value, as I recieve the error "The defualt value does not match the format (Date) specified".  Is there a simple way to add placeholder texts to a formatted field? Apologies as I am quite new at this - many thanks for any help.

I have a valid Adobe subscription which provides Acrobat DC Standard as part of it, but I cannot download acrobat DC.  Instead I am directed to Adobe Reader, which does not allow me to edit or combine files. I recently changed to a new computer after the old one failed.

Hi All ,Im looking for a CLI under linux RedHat platform to deal with rearrange PDF documents.The tools shoud be able handling  splitting PDF , merge documents, extract specific range of pages to new document , add or ommit bookmarks .The CLI must have high performance and the ability to proces huge document ( up to 1.5 GB doc).So far i have tested few CLI such QPDF , PDFTOCAIRO  , PDF-LIB (NODEJS).Apparently PDFTOCAIRO has high performance but its change the document nature in manner of the stream/objects are written to the new doc doesn't keep the original structure.PDF-LIB keep the original structure but it loads the whole document to memory.QPDF performance are not effectinet.PDFTK is old version and not applicable on our enviroment.I would like to have more ideas or some linux cli which will meet our requirment.   

A client of mine who is using Acrobat DC in a Citrix virtual environment reported that my plugin is not showing up in the menu.After investigating the operating environment, I found that he had customized Acrobat so that he could use it without signing in with his Adobe ID.I created an installer with "Suppress sign-in in Acrobat" enabled in the Acrobat Customization Wizard and confirmed that the plug-ins menu does not appear without sign-in.Is the only way to make my plug-ins available to all users by having them sign in with their Adobe ID?

When we replaced Acrobat for development with the latest DC, our own plug-ins, which had been working properly, would not load and the "Plug-ins" menu would not appear.It does not always fail to load, but seems to be more likely to occur at first startup; it will load correctly after restarting Acrobat.At first I thought it was only happening on x64, but it seems to happen on 32-bit as well if you have a subscription version of DC.Is anyone else having a similar problem?My version is 2022.001.20117/Continuous Release/x64 and x86/Windows.

Once a checkbox have been checked, an alert message will appear if the age field is empty. Click "OK", then setFocus on age field.After I enter the age and click out of the age box, the message still appears another time, as if the value hasn't been committed yet.How do I show the message only once? if (getField("Run").value == "1"){if (this.getField("MaxHR").value == "")app.alert("Please enter patient's age or Date of Birth!",3);getField("age").setFocus();}}

Do you use proofreaders marks on an Abobe Acrobat document?  If you do are there any templates or add-on that can be installed?  Why not just use comments? 

Hi, I have been searching for an answer for this but it just doesn't exist on the internet.I want to add 2 signature fields at the end of a report template, for a company representative and also for a customer to sign. I don't want the "Fill and sign" or "Digital signature" option, but an option that is gonna make it possible to click on the field and then open a window where I can sign it with either a stylus or a finger. Unfortunately, I have been searching for a while but whatever I google, it just gives me the "how to add your own signature to the PDF", which explains how to scan a signature and the paste it wherever on the document.

Good afternoon Community folks! I think I'm having an issue with understanding the purpose of what util.scand is doing. This is a function that converts a date into a number of milliseconds correct?I'm building a worksheet that has a user put in a date and time (two separate fields) and a number of the calculated fields afterwards is to calculate a certain time afterwards (12 hours, 36 hours, 72 hours). In the past, I was able to use it to pull a date and increment it by 1 but now that this new sheet has a time component I'm finding myself failing to understand what I'm actually doing. var dateStringDay = this.getField("cultureStartHighDate").valueAsString; var dateStringTime = this.getField("cultureStartHighTime").valueAsString; var fullDate = dateStringDay + dateStringTime if (fullDate=="") event.value = ""; else { var date=util.scand("mm/dd/yy HH:MM", fullDate) date.setDate(date.getDate()+<A value here>); event.value=util.printd("mm/dd/yy HH:MM", date); } In the

Hi, I am trying to make a form that will count the number of days between 2 dates and will exclude the public holidays and weekends from the counter.here is my code wich works fine to exclude the weekends but does not cut the public holidays. (i added 03/01/2023 ad my holiday) var start = this.getField("start_date").value;var end = this.getField("end_date").value;var start = util.scand("dd/mm/yyyy H:MM:SS", start + " 0:00:01");var end = util.scand("dd/mm/yyyy H:MM:SS", end + " 23:59:59");var millisecondsPerDay = 86400 * 1000;var holidayArray = [util.scand("dd/mm/yyyy H:MM:SS", "01/01/2023 0:00:01"),util.scand("dd/mm/yyyy H:MM:SS", "03/01/2023 0:00:01"),util.scand("dd/mm/yyyy H:MM:SS", "03/01/2023 23:59:59"),util.scand("dd/mm/yyyy H:MM:SS", "30/12/2029 23:59:59")];event.value = dateDifference(start, end, holidayArray);function dateDifference(start, end, holidayArray) {var startDate = new Date(+start);var endDate = new Date(+end);var diff = endDate - startDate;var days = Math.round(

I have a form that i have tasks that need to be performed by person 1 and reviewed by person 2. Is there a way to have a script that checks that the person signing the reviewed by isnt the same as the person who signed the performed by signature box? I have a script that the reviewed by box does not show up until the performed by box has been signed. But currently i can still sign both. Thanks for your help!

Hello, I am looking to reduce the number of decimal places after averaging. The average that I calculated 3+1+1 is 1.666666666666667and it is displaying that answer, but what I would like is that after adobe calculates the average, it will only give me two decimal places. 1.67 This is the code that I am using:  var nSum = 0; nCnt = 0;for(var i=1;i<=10;i++){var nVal = this.getField("Proskills" + i).value;if(!/^\s*$/.test(nVal) && !isNaN(nVal)){nCnt++;nSum += nVal;{}event.value = (nCnt > 0)?nSum/nCnt:"N/A"; After I input then event.value =(util.printf("%0.2f",nVal)); I am no longer able to change the average  Can you please help me calculate an overall average and them reduce my results to two decimal places 

Using Adobe Acorbat Pro DC v2022.001.20142I have a C# application which print and merge pdf using Acrobat Pro.Everything was working fine when I was using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.With this new version, I get the following error:  Creating an instance of the COM component with CLSID {85DE1C45-2C66-101B-B02E-04021C009402} from the IClassFactory failed due to the following error: 80004002 No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)). The code who generate the error is: Acrobat.AcroApp gapp = (Acrobat.AcroApp)Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("AcroExch.App")); I've checked the reference of the solution and it's pointing to  C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Acrobat.tlb Any idea why it generate this error and how can it be fixed? Thanks 

On Internet Explorer. When I use the 64-bit version of the Acrobat add-in, it seems to launch the Acrobat.exe process, unlike the 32-bit version.That is fine, but it seems to force Protected Mode to be applied and I cannot access the UserData file from the plugin.Is there a setting that exists to prevent Protected Mode from being applied when Acrobat is launched as an IE add-in?

HelloI have 3 checkboxes for class timings and the person can only choose 1 of the 3.Depending on the checkbox ticked, a text field at the bottom (called (txtOfficeClass) is filled with text.I have searched the forum and placed the following scripts (mouseup) in each check box. It works, but i want to know if i have done in correctly (in case something wrong happens in the future) CheckBox 1(function ()  { // Get a reference to the text field var f = getField("txtOfficeClass"); if (event.target.value === "Off") {          f.value = ""; // Blank the statement field    f.readonly = false; // Allow user to enter text } else {    f.value = "CLASS 1 (16:30 TO 18:00)"; // Set field text    f.readonly = true; // Don't allow user to enter text }})();  

I've gone through and highlighted a lot of values in a pdf using the "Find, Highlight, and Extract" tool, and now I'm trying to make a bookmark at each highlighted value.  I'm trying to work something out but I keep getting errors.  Any help would be greatly appreciated! var valuesToFind = ["1", "2"]; for (var i = 0; i < valuesToFind.length; i++) { this.syncAnnotScan(); var results = this.search(valuesToFind[i], true, true); for (var j = 0; j < results.length; j++) { var result = results[j]; var bookmark = this.addAnnot({ type: "Bookmark", page: result.page, rect: result.rect, name: valuesToFind[i] }); } }

Hi All,  Have read lots of different posts across the forums to try and help me understand what I need in terms of JS in Acrobat Pro, however I am struggling to find the golden nugget.  My issue is two parts: 1. A simple formula/JS to calculate the start time/end time between two fields (HH:MM format) and have that total displayed in the field marked 1 (TOTAL HOURS).  2. Once the timesheet rows total over 37.5 hours in the 'NORMAL HOURS' field, the additional 'hours' spill into the 'OVERTIME HOURS' field. Eg. Total hours on the time sheet form is 45 hours, therefore 37.5 hours would be in the NORMAL HOURS field and 7.5 hours would be in the OVERTIME HOURS field.  Screenshot attached.  Any help on this would be really appreciated. Thanks!
