Acrobat SDK

I have a PDF form with numerous fields.  It is was created using Adobe Acrobat DC Pro as a form.  What I mean is, they are Adobe PDF Fields, not just emty spaces on the document.  I also have a Digital Signature. It seems that Adobe Fill and Sign prefers to CREATE and Fill fields.  But that is not what I want.  I want to Fill already existing fields. How do I do that?I have no problems with the digital signature part.Device is Android Phone 

We use Acrobat Pro DC a greater deal in our business.This toolbar pops up whenever the mouse gets close to it covering up what is under it.It has the same tools as the regular toolbar at the top of the window so it really servers no purpose other then to hide what is under it.Is there a way to turn it off permanently?

I have a form that has several radio button and checkboxes.  I do not want the form to be submitted until all the required fields and at least one checkbox are checked.  Once complete, the form will be emailed to me. The required fields work like a charm.  However, I can't seem to get the checkboxes to do the same....checked or unchecked, the form still attempts to email me (see example).   I've read several older posts that were shared but I'm missing something.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Below is the script: var emptyFields = [];for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));if (f!=null && f.type!="button" && f.required && f.valueAsString==f.defaultValue) {emptyFields.push(f.name);}}if (emptyFields.length>0) {app.alert("You must fill in the following fields:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n"));} else this.mailDoc({cTo: "diane.hands@wellstone.com",cSubjec

Hello, First off,  there used to a separate sub-forum for Acrobat SDK questions, for developers of Acrobat plug-ins, which was separate from the main Acrobat forum, which is mostly user questions.  But now, the link to https://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/acrobat_sdk simply redirects to the main Acrobat forum at https://community.adobe.com/t5/Acrobat/bd-p/acrobat.  So it seems that Adobe has forgetten about us plug-in developers, and our need to be able to ask SDK-specific questions without them being lost in a sea of user questions.  So I'm posting here. Anyway, the main reason I'm posting is that, with the latest auto-update to Acrobat DC on Mac, version 2019.21.20048, Adobe seems to have added entitlements to Acrobat to run on macOS 10.15 "Catalina."  That's all fine, and Adobe has to follow whatever new requirements Apple places on apps, just like the rest of us do.  Unfortunately, though, the addition of the entitle

I'm currently using rectangle links that clip into the text that I want the user to click.Does anybody have c++ code for Acrobat Pro DC toCreate a named destination to a page number that is currently valid, but allow the user to come in later insert pages in between and retain the destination.On a different page add what appears to be (and prints as) ordinary text but is actually a link to the named destination.Failing that, how do I turn my rectangular link annotations invisible so they don't interfere with the link text?

Copying and pasting a few pages of text paragraphs into a new PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.  The error "text has overflowed the page boundary".  What settings are needed in Acrobat Pro DC to allow text to overflow from one page to another?   I know how to do this in Livecycle but client cannot afford reader extensions so I need to produce their PDF's in Pro DC.  Thanks in advance for your help.

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.
