Acrobat SDK

I searched the forum for this - and apologize if an answer is out there. I created a PDF that has a dropdown menu called "Options"...with 12 options. One of the drop down options is PIII and I have three fillable text fields that correspond with that option: Type of PIII FundingYOFPIII CF What I would like to do is have those text fields not fillable/"locked" - unless the user chooses PIII from the drop down menu. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

First time posting. I received my API client ID and modified sample code to try out PDF embedding. It showed the PDF file for a moment, but then immediately went to an error. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, and it's probably a face-palm mistake, but not sure what it is... 

Hi!Is it possible to run a script that will force all letters in specific fields to appear as upper or lower case as soon as one hits tab or clicks the mouse on another field?  This field would also need to remain capitalized through saving & printing.Thanks!Dawn

Thanks in advance for help anyone can give. I'm trying to figure out how to rearrange pages by keywords already in the text. For example: We have a PDF with 100 invoices for band books and want to arrange them by instrument. Using the search function, I can find every place the word "Flute, or Trumpet" appears, but I'm hoping to find a way to search for "Flute" and then move those pages together to the top of the PDF. Repeating this for each instrumentation until all 100 pages are rearranged in the order we need. The only way I know of to rearrange pages, is by selecting each thumbnail (either in the thumbnail preview bar at the side, or in the "organize pages" function) and manually moving them into place. A few searches I've done lead me to think I need to use some sort of Script? I'm still in the learning phase, and don't understand yet what that means. 

Hi,I have been using the below code, which I found on this community, to alert required fields which works fine when all is good and the email pops up it is missing the subject line, can anyone help with the Javascript to add text to the Subject Field Thanks in advancePaul var emptyFields = []; for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) { var f= this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i)); if (f.type!="button" && f.required ) { if (f.defaultValue==f.valueAsString) emptyFields.push(f.name); } } if (emptyFields.length>0) { app.alert("Error! You must fill in the following fields:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n")); } else this.mailDoc({cTo: "Colette.Williams@sjp.co.uk"});

We are building a cloud-based “Document Management System”, where we can make searching and retrieval of documents easy and allow the users to organize the documents based on several characteristics or metadata. In order to make Document Management System easily accessible and more usable, we need plugins/integration of the native document viewer/editor applications for different document formats.  For example, we can have a plugin for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Specifications of the Plugin / IntegrationThe plugin will facilitate the authenticated user to upload the document directly from the document viewer/editor with specific metadata to the cloud-based document management system. I have to develop Add-on/Plugin for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and I am confused about which development path better suits my requirements as the Acrobat SDK proposes three development pathsJavaScriptPluginsInter Application Communication Here is the link to the devel

Hello, I am William from Indonesia. I want to automatically fill a PDF Form via Visual Basic Application. The PDF Form was created by the government and it requires Adobe Reader DC to open it. I have tried to open the PDF Form with Adobe Acrobat Pro but it failed miserably. Meanwhile, in order to manipulate a PDF form programatically, we need to use Adobe Acrobat SDK. But Adobe Acrobat SDK cannot be used without Adobe Acrobat Pro as far as I know.  Can anyone suggest a solution for my problem? Manually fill out the form is very daunting task. So I want to automate it with Excel's VBA. Thanks   

As title states, I created a document with various fillable text fields, but am having trouble in creating a box for smart card verified signature at the end of the document, specifically with a military CAC I found where I can email directly to individuals for a signature but this form may be signed by different people at different times. It must be with a smart card.  

I'm trying to build a SOAP request into a form in Acrobat DC, but I can't get the input parameter for the SOAP request to work. I'm using the examples on the Acrobat SDK site, and this is my code.  The debugger throws an exception at the indicated line but doesn't say why.var cURL="http://mysite/_layouts/AppNumberService/NumberService.asmx?WSDL"var oParam = "AppName";var response = Net.SOAP.request({     cURL: cURL,     oRequest: {         "http://tempuri.org/:IncrementandFetchNumber": {               application:oParam  << Exception here          }     }});var result = response["http://tempuri.org/:IncrementandFetchNumber"]["IncrementandFetchNumberResult"];The SOAP request uses a SOAP service on our SharePoint site. This is the sample request and response fo

I have a form that has a single name field: "LAST NAME, First name" in the same field. I copy and paste the name in from other source but it comes in all different formatting, sometimes all lower case sometimes in all upper case. Is it possible to have a script that changes the formatting to last name all upper case e.g (SMITH) and first name normal e.g (John) with the comma in between as above? e.g  Name:  SMITH, John.I have been looking for the right script to use for this for so long.

Hallo!Ich wandle bereits vorhandene Dokumente mit Adobe Acrobat Standard DC in Formulare um, in dem die automatische Erkennung von Formularfeldern aktiviert ist.Das ist SEHR praktisch und funktioniert super, ABER:Nachdem das Formular erstellt wurde, sind alle automatischen eingefügten Formularfelder immer links ausgerichtet (also der Inhalt).Ich muss jedes der hunderte Formularfelder einzeln anklicken, um die Ausrichtung des Inhalts auf zentriert einzustellen. Echt nervig...Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, dass ich ALLE Formularfelder des gesamten Dokumentes mit einmal auf "zentriert" ausrichten kann? (entweder vor oder nach dem Scannen)Freu mich auf Antworten und DANKE euch!

Hi all, hoping for some help here, as I've been working on this for many hours now, but can't seem to find a resolution. I'm fairly new to pdf forms and Javascripting, so don't have much knowledge to pull off from. I am tasked with putting a form together where depending on what checkboxes are selected, certain sections of the form will show and hide layers and form fields. I did figure this out. However, there are a couple checkboxes on the first page that overlap in the sense that they should show the same layers and fields when selected. So if one of these are selected, it should show those fields and layers, if two are selected, they should show, and so on. The problem is, if two or more of those checkboxes are selected, and one of them is deselected, all the layers in the document dissappear. To resolve this, I tried utilizing 'or' statements but can't seem to get it to work. Here is what I have so far. Thank you much for any assistance!{ var f = this.getField("checkbox 1"); var g

Trying to set up a 500-page document with javascript actions. I would like to keep that javascript embeded into the document when a portion of the document is exported. This doesn't work when exporting through the GUI so can this be accomplished using more Javascript?

My computer died and I got a new one.  I installed Acrobat XI Pro and used my serial number.  I never saw an activation screen.  When I open a pdf it only stays open for a few seconds then closes.  I tried the chat and they said they couldn't help me that I should go post on the forum.  I see many people have posted this same question but no answers help.  This is terrible support from Adobe.

Hello I am a software developer and we are investigating our options with integrating with Adobe Acrobat. Microsoft Office allows developers to create add-ins which appear as side panels in their applications, today these are mostly HTML based.Does Adobe provide a similar integration pattern? If not, what mechanisms are provided to developers to integrate within the client components?

Hi, I'm trying to send an email after a PDF is signed, I try to achieve this by adding an action on the signature box. Acrobat preferences is set to use Outlook in Preferences -> Email accounts.Trigger: Mouse UpAction: Submit a FormEnter a URL for this link: mailto:<> But when I test this, instead of opening a new email Adobe triggers 'Save As' dialog box on windows.Appreciate any suggestions on fixing this.

Hello, Is there a way to Auto-Name a Form?I have a few form fields that could be used to create the name:For Example fields below:Type of Form: "Field Report" - I could make this a static answer - requiring no input from user. Form Field 1: "Date"Form Field 2: "Job #"Form Field 3: "Employee Initials"I would like the form to be named: Report-Date-Job #-Employee Initials" -- where the inputs for the form fields, becomes the file name. Note: My main reason for doing this is so that forms are appropriately named from the start. This also prevents the user from having to manually type these characters in and manually renaming the form.Thank you all in advance!Steven

I've asked about this, at least tangentally, previously, but I didn't understand what was happening.  I have a form that doesn't work right in other PDF viewers, especially Chrome. To prevent user complaints (so many), I hide every field and mark it read only, except a big angry warning to open the form in Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Then, using an On Doc Open script, I check this.external == false and set everything's visibility and usability, plus hide the angry warning. Additionally, I use app.alert to pop up our privacy policy regarding this specific form. However, if the form has been digitally signed none of this works. This prevents the warning from going away and it never shows the privacy policy. BUT my script that sets global-level variables works just fine. I know I can replicate this behavior with "On Page Open" and a RunOnce variable, but I'd like to keep this simple if I can.  This all used to work just fine. Did something change in Adobe Acro

Hello I performed the steps of this procedure to the letter: Hide an Acrobat DC button except during rollover...and it works great on my machine, but when I send the PDF out- the rollover functionality does not work for users with standard Adobe Acrobat Reader.Any advice?

Hi Team, how to implement select area like rectangluar selection  in pdf page .   [Question moved by moderator]

Hi there,I've written a script to add checkboxes to a page and the code works ok.I'm in the process of putting some error handling in however I've hit a slight niggle.If I use the following to reference a formfield by name is there a quick way to check if there's more than one field with the same name?thisField = this.getField(theBaseFieldName);I thought I might be able to check thisField.length to see if it's greater than 1 but unfortunately not. I guessing it's because of the way I'm refering the object. Please can someone point me in the right direction?Thanks in advance.
