Acrobat SDK

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

Hello,I have found the following Javascript code (from here Re: Check to see if any field is empty)  and join code && f.page =="0" to check page1, text and check box can show right, but if checkbox is same name ex:checkbox#0 checkbox#1  ,it will not showing into alert, how to identify code ,thank you for help!var emptyFields = []; for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) { var f= this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i)); if (f.type!="button" && f.required && f.page =="0") { if ((f.type=="text" && f.value=="") || (f.type=="checkbox" && f.value=="Off")) emptyFields.push(f.name) ; } } if (emptyFields.length>0) { app.alert("請輸入下列欄位 \n" + emptyFields.join("\n")); } 

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.   

I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro with OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.4. I tried installing my Adobe Creative Suite 4 which I've had since college. All of the programs seem to be working, at least for the most part, except when I try and open Acrobat Pro 9 I get a Repair Setup message that says: "Acrobat has detected that there are missing components that require repair. Select the optional components you would like to pre air and click Continue. Deselect a component to completely remove it. Click Cancel to cancel the component repair process." The components it's saying need repair are Adobe PDF Printer and Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin.No matter which option I select, whether it's Continue or Cancel or deselect the components the same thing happens. Which is absolutely nothing. The window goes away and the top toolbar only shows the word "Acrobat", but I can't click on it to see any drop down options, there are no other options on the toolbar. The only thing that I can do is forc

Hi AllI've looked through some of the other posts but could find any exact info. I have some users who have a pdf template where they fill in a whole bunch of information. I was looking to do an application that would fill in most of the pdf form for users with name address etc and then the users would complete the rest of the details as they received additional information. They only have Adobe Reader DC (as do I at the moment). I downloaded the SDK and setup in C#. I'm wondering if I need the full Acrobat DC to be able to develop the application which is then used by users with Reader, or is there a way to do development work with just Reader installed?Note: I've tried some 3rd party apps but it looks like once you fill in the form and save it, it is then no longer modifyable with Adobe Reader presumable due to the digital keys no longer being Adobe.Any help would be greatly appreciated.CheersPeter  

Through extensive searching, I came across this post from 2009, but I'm sure quite a lot has changed since then. I have a macro in Excel VBA which executes a number of operations on a workbook, and I want it to automatically export the results to PDF using the Acrobat add-on so that it can create bookmarks for each sheet in the workbook. I also found this code (VBA), but I don't really understand it, so I can't update it myself: Dim AcroApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp Dim AcrobatDoc As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc Dim numPages As Long Dim WorkSheetToPDF As Worksheet Const SaveFilePath = "C:\temp\MergedFile.pdf" Set AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App") Set AcrobatDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc") numPages = AcrobatDoc.GetNumPages For Each WorkSheetToPDF In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets If AcrobatDoc.InsertPages(numPages - 1, WorkSheetToPDF, 0, AcrobatDoc.GetNumPages(), True) = False Then MsgBox "Cannot insert pages" & numPages Else numPages = nu

I have this code from everything I found on the internet: var E = this.getField( "Text16").value; // the value of field E is line 7; var F = this.getField( "Text17").value; // the value of field F is line 8; var G = this.getField( "Text19").value; // the value of field G is line 10; = MIN(E,F,G) ;// else value is minimum of line 7, 8 or 10; Can anyone help me figure out why this is not returning a value?  Please note that all of these fields are calculated values.  Not sure if that matters.

How do I set text field default properties?  The forms creator set font sizes that are too large.

What our team would like to do here:A user chooses if they Have or Need to Develop a skill. Each H chosen passes a 0. Each D chosen passes a 1 and calculates the % total. 0/33/66/100 is possible. Each H and D need a different box name, like Have1 and Develop1 and so on through possibly 300 skill levels. It seems something along the lines of:var total = 0;for (var i=1; i<=1; i++) {var f = this.getField("Check Box"+i);if (f.valueAsString=="1") total++;}event.value = total; should be a starting place, but I don't think it's that simple. We don't want to have to use the Pick option in Calculate. Thoughts anyone?Thanks!

Hey Everyone, I have data in a flask API that I want users to load into their custom pdf forms. My problem is finding documentation on how to approach this.  My idea is that I have the user run javascript from the pdf (hit a button); have them enter a # in an app.alert window and then use the entered # for a HTTP GET request to flask which will then show the data.  Which is where my problems start on how to best set this up, I've found the following code on the forums here which I hoped to utilize. var url:String = "wwvv. URL GOES HERE/Script?number=007"; var importer:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest(url)); importer.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded); function onFileLoaded(e:Event):void { var importer:URLLoader = e.target as URLImporter; var importedVersionText:String = importer.data; dataImported_txt.text=loadedVersionText; } My questions boils down to the following:What is the best (data-)format to hand fielddata to a

Hello,I am reaching to see whether OCR processing of PDF documents using Adobe PDF services SDK is done on your on-prem servers ? If yes, is there a way to have that processing done locally where an Application is running? I do not want to share sensitive pdf documents in a remtoe fashion. Thank you,shree 

Exiting implementaion C# code Type.GetTypeFromProgID("AcroExch.AVDoc") !== null , means the Adobe Acrobat is installed. But after the latest Adobe 64 bit reader installation, the above condition is true for Adobe Reader itself. So how we can detect which Adobe(Reader or Acrobat) is installed. Enviirment Details Windows 10 64bit os Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (64bit)

Acrobat PDFMaker has found inconsistencies in the database. Please make sure there are no blank records or email fields in the database. What can I do to fix this issue? There are no blank records in my database but I need the email address field to send the PDF documents. Any help would be great. Thx

I have a template that spawns x number of times based on a value of a field on the form. The spawn is set to happen when the files is saved. My issue is that when the form is first completed and created it is being done in Netsuite and as fasr as I know there is no way to trigger that script while this process is happening. What the user is currently doing is letting Netsuite fill the pdf and then they download the form, change any field in the form and then revert that field to what it was before so that the save option is avaialble and then saves the form so the spawn is triggered.  My goal is to bypass having the user manipulate a field so that the save option is available and the spawn is triggered. Any ideas on how I can achieve this?

I am creating a fillable form which includes a dropdown list. The two options are "Vacant" or "Occupied". I want to be able to count the number of "Vacant" entries in a separate field. The dropdowns are named "dropdown.10" through "dropdown.31". I have tried scripts from a number of different answers to similar questions with no success. I attached two images as a reference and I can provide more information if needed. Thanks.

After using the applyRedactions function from the api, the function leaves over these Vector Objects. Is there a way to remove them with more scripting? I guess one solution is to make layers and then delete the Vector Objects layer... Is there a way to automate that?  All I wanted to do was remove any text at the footer for all pages using js. Thanks  Additional info:Script I used I copypasta'd from hereHere's what I mean by Vector Images left by redacting

Hi does anyone know how make Java script work on Acrobat mobile app for showing and hiding fields when a check box is selected? var nHide = event.target.isBoxChecked(0)?display.visible:display.hidden; this.getField("platinum").display = nHide; this.getField("platinum_price").display = nHide; this.getField("audio_plat").display = nHide; This completely works on desktop but when testing on Acrobat app, its not working. Please let me know how to solve this.  Thanks! 

I've created a "drawdown sheet" that tracks reoccurring payments/invoicing on a PO.  I can't do it as a spreadsheet because it attaches to the pertinat PO which is a PDF.  A drawdown will have the starting balance (the amount for which the PO is written) and show the running balance as each weekly billing is paid.  I've attached a screen shot of the form and the issue.  The calculation is a simple subtraction from the previous balance but the issue is that the formula is performed down the sheet.  I tried to do an if,then statement:  If "2amount" is > 0 then "1balance" - "2amount", if else then leave "$0.00". Obviously that isn't Javascript but that is my problem - I don't spreak Javascript.  I scoured the web to find a solution and selfmedicate but it wasn't in the cards for me.  I even watched tutorials on basic javascript related to Acrobat but nothing stuck.  HELP!! 

Very new to this so appreciate the assistance! My form  has three subtotal fields COREPOINTSMGMTPOINTSC_MPOINTS If the MGMT POINTS field is 0, would like the C_M field to be 0. If the MGMT POINTS field has a value, would like the C_M field to reflect COREPOINTS + MGMTPOINTS. Thank you!   

Several years ago I developed some solutions using FDF to populate a PDF form, I'm trying to locate the content on your site as the following links no longer work and a search does not find them : https://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/acrosdk/forms.htmlhttp://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/acr4formssysnotes.pdfhttp://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/acrosdk/docs/fdftk/FDFtkovr.pdfhttp://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/pdfs/tn/5186AcroJS.pdfhttp://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/acrosdk/docs/filefmtspecs/PDFReference.pdf does anyone have updated links for these ? The original article can be found at https://greggriffiths.org/webdev/serverside/asp/asp_fdf/. The partners.adobe.com links all also give the following error : Not FoundThe requested URL /libs/granite/core/content/login.html was not found on this server.

Does anyone know what happened to the old FDF Toolkit? Or where a copy might be found?
