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.

Hey guys, I've got a weird issue that I'm pretty sure is caused by my work's local security policies: I use Notepad++ as my external editor. Recently (like 7 months ago), I found I wasn't able to use it. When I try to open a script through Adobe Acrobat into the external editor, Notepad++ opens with the following error: "C:\Users\130027~1\AppData\Local\Temp\acrobat_sbx\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\JSEdit.js" doesn't exist. Create it?Options are 'Yes' and 'No'. 'Yes' creates a blank file JSEdit.js, which will load back into Adobe Acrobat just fine. 'No' creates the standard new file, which I can manually save as JSEdit.js and then Adobe Acrobat will load it on close. My home copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 doesn't have this issue.  My questions: If I'm right and this is security policy blocking Adobe Acrobat from writing to it's own temp directory, is there a way I can point this at another direct that Acrobat does have write access to? Is there another w

Hi All,I'm looking at creating a Javascript button that when clicked brings up the red pen so users can sign their names in a box.I have been reading this and Thom Parker has provided an answer but I am still slightly confused.Re: To draw in the pdf using pen tool in acrobat reader x If I was to escalate this to my service desk what exactly would I tell them to do with a step by step process?And once its enabled I'm assuming the following line of code will automatically bring up the pen tool ready for use?app.execMenuItem("Annots:Tool:InkMenuItem");Also assuming this will work in both running Adobe DC Reader and DC Pro?Cheers,Seb.

I've read multiple posts about this - which helped a lot but... I'm having...odd issues...I have a Google Form and Sheet. I've copied the field IDs using Get Prefilled link. I'm trying to get this to work with a short form - 6 fields...text, integers, and a date. I'm up to about a dozen trials submitting it. When I submit I always get a timestamp but only the first field (L Name). In Acrobat, the fields are named "entry.xxxxxxxxx" - matching what I get from the prefilled link. In the prefilled link the reference is: "entry.498728576=Weasley&entry.238933929=Fred&entry.672957676=2011-11-11..." I tried entering the ampersand both before the second field and after the first field. I received a General Error. After removing the ampersand fields 1 and 2 were sent to the Sheet???? Did not make sense, but I tried that with field 3 with no positive result. When all 6 fields in Acrobat are named "entry.xxxxxxxxx" I get a General Error message. What am I missing?

Hi, I recently received my personnel file from my time of military service and it came in disc form requiring me to have adobe flash player on my adobe reader. I have a windows 11 acer laptop that does not have flash player already on it so I can't view my records at the moment due to flash player being blocked and removed from your site. I really need flash player. It's so I can view my records and get my medical benefits due to the exposures I had in Afghanistan. I understand that this is an inconvenience for you guys but this is a major inconvenience for me as well. I'm hoping to  even purchase a copy if possible

Hello, I am having some issues with a VBA script. I am fairly new to this so there may be some issues I don't see. My main issue right now is that the forms are being filled but the save function is not working. I can see the forms are being filled but closed without saving. ultimately leaving me with blank forms.  I downloaded and installed the SDK as per the page I found but maybe I don't have the right ones enabled or installed. Also my script is a mishmash of a ton of other threads I've found online so maybe its faulty from its base level.Thanks in advance!Sub FillDocuments() 'Step 1 Define Variables Dim FileNm, gApp, avDoc, pdDoc, jso Dim i As Integer Dim Path As String Dim ProjectName As String Dim EQID As String Dim SubNum As String Dim FileName As String Dim QCForm As String 'LOOP Start i = 2 Do 'Step 2 Define Data from Excel Sheet ProjectName = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("EQData").Cells(i, 1).Value EQID = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("EQData

I just started to use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and I use stamps on a daily basis.  In v10 of Adobe, when I selected a stamp, it would stay with my cursor so each time I moved to a new page I could place the same stamp just by clicking the mouse button.  In this new version, I have to reselect the same stamp from the stamp palette each time I want to place it on a page.  How can I have this stamp stay active so that I can place it on different pages without having to go back to the palette each time?

Hi all,I'm creating a pdf right now which has to be filled out by our customers.Due to Audit restrictions every field has to contain a valid value. - if nothing is entered the field should display "n.a.".My code right now:event.rc = true;if (event.value==""|| event.value ==""||event.value==0){    event.value="n.a."}Problem is: It's valid only for one field and triggered by selecting the cell. - I'm searching for something like a Loop which checks all empty cells after finishing the editing.. (at saving, or signing digitally)Many thanks in advance, I appreciate it kindly regards Fango

I have a key to sign my application for use in Acrobat Reader. I have had a working 32-bit plugin for some time and recently upgraded my project for use with the new Acrobat Reader 64-bit version. I have added the 64-bit configuration to my project and am able to successfully build. I am then using the 64-bit signtool.exe supplied in the latest version of the SDK to sign my plugin using my existing keypair and cert. When acrobat is opened, the plugin loads and I do not get the "Invalid Plugin Detected" message, however shortly after opening the application crashes. I have tried the same process on the latest "BasicPlugin" in the SDK and the same thing happens. Everything is still working when built for 32-bit using the new 32-bit signtool.exe. Is anyone seeing a similar problem? Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi, I like to create a form where I can import an image and text by a user and export those inputs in txt file. For the image import i'm currently using the "event.target.buttonImportIcon()" in JS and for the export to a txt-file I use JS to write the user input into a variable which is saved in the text file. Is it possbile to process the imported image in any way? I thought of exporting it as a base64 text for example. Where and how is the image saved when using "buttonImportIcon()") I tried "var photo = (event.target.buttonImportIcon());" and exporting 'photo' but the output is just "0. Thanks for any help in advance! 

Hey guys, I've got a fun twist on the common "merge signed PDFs" question: I have forms that need digital signatures, however they are intended to be printed after being QC'd by our admins. Each form is precisely 1/3 of a Letter sheet.  How can I preserve the appearance of the digital signature AND print 1x3 per page?And how can I make this process completely, or nearly, seamless for my admins?  Portfolios are already a 'no' because they don't allow mixing of the files when printing, which is a such an obnoxious feature miss.  I see two options:1. Fancy JavaScript and fields to extract the signature's appearnce and then mimic it right after it's digitally signed by the customer.2. JavaScript button to flatten the current file and then invoke the Merge Documents option. I'd love to know if there's a better way to handle this.-Azure's Skye(Yes, I am well aware of the purpose/intent difference between a digital siganture and a wet signature and

Quick question: Does anyone have documentation on how barcodes fields are supposed to work in Adobe Acrobat DC Pro? The SDK References don't mention them except under usage rights and I've been stumbling through the dark on making best use of them.  I did have a specific question, but it's escaping me right now 😢-Azure's Skye

Hello,  I am new to Acrobat/Javascript and have been using tutorials on here to come up with a barebones worksheet.
