Acrobat SDK

Trying to just create this simple formula, but it doesnt seem to be working. Thoughts? For context both the variables are calculated by adding other fields in the Adobe Form. (Head Count_Totals*0.5)-(Primary Workpoints_Totals*1)

Can anyone tell me what App I need to download in order to edit pdf on Ipad?

Hi there, Does anyone know if its possible to automate a Reduce File Size save using javascript? I've managed to get it to go as far as the dialogue box, but I was hoping there was the equivalent in Acrobat of the 'set user interaction to never' that you can script in INDD to supress these and silently save a reduced version over the original document.  Alternatively saving a new file would be workable - then i could rename afterwards. I'm not holding out much hope - Save As seems to be as scriptable as it gets from the hours I've spent on google, but I guess you never know until you ask... All the best,Ed

Hello, I am trying to create a PDF GM Screen for my personal use running a D&D campaign.

Does anyone have advice on how to translate from the PDFEdit layer to the PDSEdit layer?I'm writing a plugin for Acrobat Pro to help with accessibility programming but have run into a problem: I have a selection server where a user can select a PDEElement/PDEContainer on a page, but I cannot find a method to retreive the associated PDSElement from the structure tree using the selected PDEElement or Container.I can go from the PDSElement to a PDEElement, but have not found a way to go in the opposite direction. Any tips?

I use an Excel macro to copy and rename PDF files based on data contained within the spreadsheet. Each of those newly created PDFs have multiple extablished Acrobat Actions that must be performed on them. Is there a way to incorporate/copy those Actions into Excel, so that I can simply assign a macro to run each of them? Running MS365 and Acrobat Pro DC.

Hi! I have created a list box in Pro DC but I want the selected item values to appear in another text box as soon as they have been chosen. If an item has been clicked by mistake it should also be possible to remove it from the text field. How would I begin to create this? 

Hi, I have a fillable PDF I have created in Acrobat - I am trying to create a senario where everytime the user opens the master PO form I have created a new PO number is generated sequentially (ideally starting at 0001) in the "Invoice" field of the form.  I have read lots of threads on similar questions, however I am trying to achieve the following:User opens master documentThe generated number appears in the "Invoice" field e.g. 0002The user then "saves as" on computer and gives the document a name - lets give it the name "PO-Form-0002"The user completes the form and fills in all the fieldsSaves and closes the formWhen the document "PO-Form-0002" is reopened I would like the "Invoice" field to maintain the SAME number it generated origianlly - as per this example  it would be 0002. When the master document is opened next the "Invoice" field generate the number 0003 and the user the saves the file as "PO-Form-0003" and so on. Can anyone advise me with a p

Hello there, Maybe you can help with some Javascript code:: I would like to add a javascript code to a check box: so that with activation of the box (first click) the color of an associated text fieldchanges from white to red, and with deactivation (second click) the color of the text field changes back again fra red to white.The text color, black, remains constant. It is like making an on/off switch to the backround color of the text field.If there is a javascript geni out there who can help this uneducated man with a couple of lines of javascript, I would be foreever thankful.A reference to an on/off function in javascript would also be deeply  appreciated. Using acrobat pro DC, or v.9 windowsI am a beginner with javascript, and  have just started to learn this miraculous progammering language with serious effort.. Many thanks.Michael H (Copenhagen DK)

I used acrobat to export several thousand emails to a pdf portfolio.  (Worked great by the way and I love the way attachments to email stay attached as links to pdf.)I now need to count the number of documents in the portfolio. Found this question with an answer in the forum here: How To Display Acrobat Portfolio File Count in DC? Answer involved using the javascript which I'd never done.  I opened the debug console and followed the instructions in the post.  I get an error.  So, (1) is there any way to do this without using javasript or, if not, (2)what am I doing wrong.  What I did: Opened console and typed:app.alert("This portfolio has " + this.data.Objects.length + " files attached to it.",3);When I select the text given and use Cntrl-Enter, get this error: "TypeError: this.dataObjects is null1:Console:Execundefined No document within portfolio is open, though I am seeing preview in bottom pane (which I don't know how to get rid of)

Hi, my interative pdf contains multiple image fields where the client has to click on each each field to insert an image.  Is there a way that my client can insert as many as 100 images in one click? Or perhaps if they can insert a photo album directly from the PDF?would highly appreciate your help with this. PS my clients will be using Acrobat reader. 

Hi,We are updating PDF document properties (Title, Description, and Keywords) from SEO perspective but when we save PDF then it removes the custom properties (which are already added by our client) automatically. Why is this happening and how can we avoid this?Thanks in advance.Regards,Kamal

I have created an interactive pdf (from InDesign) with a set of rollover buttons in the contents panel. These used to work fine when viewed in Acrobat a few months ago (July 2021) but since then they don't seem to be displaying correctly any more. There are a set of rollover buttons with actions set on each one to hide / show the 2 different rollover states. These actions seem to work fine when viewd in Acrobat but the hyperlinks don't seem to work straight away. Click once and you see a small section of the page it is meant to go to - within the space of the button. If you click a second time it then shows the whole page linked to. Seems to display fine if I open in a web browser but not if I open in Acrobat DC. Are there known issues with display of interactive pdfs in Acrobat DC? In the file attached - it's just the first button that I've set up on the Contents page (SWP overview). Clicking on it you might see the same problem.Thanks

Hi there, I'm creating a fillable timesheet where the individual needs to select the meeting (either by check box or drop down menu, open to whatever is easiest). When they select the meeting I'm wanting a text box at the bottom of the pdf to autopopulate the general ledger code. Is this possible, and if so, how do I go about creating that? I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Hi, I am hoping to achieve a dynamic dropdown like functionality using a text field and list box. The purpose of this is because from what i have seen, there is no functionality in Adobe or javascript templates to begin from to be able to filter a dropdown from keystroke actions. I have seen suggestions to use a textfield for users start typing to then dynamically filter by keystroke a listbox below. they can then select from the listbox and the selection will populate the textfield. this would essentially emmulate a dropdown style. ie. if a user typed "j"/"ja"/"jan" it would display the words "Janus" or "January" to show in the listbox. I have found some example scripts for livecycle using xfa script connections and xml files to do this, but nothing for acrobat.  I am intermediate at javascript, but for this i dont know where to begin. I am guessing maybe to use thisgetField("").search or thisgetField("").match functionality... but i just done know w

Hi, I'm having trouble editing a PDF in Acrobat. I activated the Adobe Garamond family and see that it's in my active fonts tab. However, when I try to make edits on a PDF, it's not in the fonts dropdown list. How can I get it in there so I can select it to be used to edit with in Acrobat? Thank you.

One of my fields (Type field) I have is a drop down list with options RFC, ADM, REB. I would like to create a condition if either ADM or REB are selected from the drop-down list to require the user to select either a quarter checkbox or a month AND enter a year. Is this condition possible with the version of Adobe I am currently using?  The 2nd image below shows the options that I have available. Thank You.
