Acrobat SDK

I have a Mac running OS 10.11 and an HP Laserjet Pro m401n with 2 paper trays (one letter & one legal). When I try to print a document with mixed page sizes (when there is a group of legal pages) the first page prints fine and the second page prints with space at the top and cuts off the bottom. This appears to only happen with Acrobat.

Hi,We would like to import as well as create pdf forms and link form fields against our dataset so that upon viewing the pdf the form will get autofilled.We need to integrate this into our web application. How can we do this using Abode Acrobat?

Comes  out as one single page document instead of correct number of pages. Other pdf prohgrammes make correct number of of pages for print.

I have made a form with the purpose of having multiple dropdowns for inserting an 'ID number' which would then populate the following text fields: 'description,' 'quantity,' and a 'unit.' This form is working perfectly as intended but I was wondering if there was a better way to code it. There is a very repetitive code which is needed for assigning the dropdowns to the corresponding fields:function SetFieldValues1(cID1) { this.getField("Desc1").value = DeptData[cID1].description; this.getField("Quan1").value = DeptData[cID1].quantity; this.getField("Unit1").value = DeptData[cID1].unit; } function SetFieldValues2(cID2) { this.getField("Desc2").value = DeptData[cID2].description; this.getField("Quan2").value = DeptData[cID2].quantity; this.getField("Unit2").value = DeptData[cID2].unit;,Etc.... and this is linked to the dropdowns as such:(ID1)Custom Keystroke Script:if( event.willCommit ) { if(event.value == " ") this.resetForm(["Desc1","Quan

Hi, I save my files on Dropbox and work on a Mac OS with High Sierra V 10.13.6 and over the last two weeks, many of my PDF files will not open. The message I get is “because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachmnet and wasn't correctly decoded).” I did not have any problems opening these files before. I have checked for updates and downloaded them for Acrobat, tried to change the file name to .png and also tried to open them in Photoshop and Preview with no success. I hope you can help me.

Hi Community, I am looking for what to choose between javaScript and Plugins development in Adobe Acrobat I have two main requirements:1. use web API and web services.2. use content Stream. I have gone through the Adobe Developer FAQ reference for this(https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/Acrobat_SDK_developer_faq.pdf). [on page number 18] [screenshot is given below] found that my both requirements lie in different development technologies.so how I can achieve this? any lead is appreciatedThanks    

Hello Beginner here,  Working with a fillable form PDF where the users will enter in the time it took to complete a task. For example, it took 2:59 for task one and 2:37 for task two. Where each time is written in HH:MM.The total box is a simple addition but gives the result in total HH:MM. Each task field Format tab is set to Time -> HH:MM. I have been using the Calculate tab and having it sum the select the fields from the form "Pick..."However it simply adds the task times and results as 4.96. Where as I want it to result as 05:36.When the Format tab is set to Time -> HH:MM, nothing is displayed however.  Am I missing something in the Calculate or in the Format steps? Or maybe both? Any help is greatly appreciated! Or maybe there is a section in the forums that I need to read.  Thank you,  Chris5C4D

Hi,I Want to convert non embedded font to embedded font using Acrobat SDK.I am using below code to do that.

Hi Community,I am currently trying to create a Custom utility(tool)  in Adobe Acrobat to send an open PDF to online External Storage (like one drive, box, google drive, etc).I have few questions to ask for guidance/help. 1. How can I do external storage authentication in adobe acrobat to send open pdf files?2. Is it possible to open these external storage web authentication page inside adobe acrobat (dialog panel)?3. Is it possible with javaScript or with the C/C++ plugin Development?  I am aware that in JavaScript API reference "LaunchURL" is there but it opens a web page outside acrobat that is not what I looking for. I also know I can add External Storage Account in adobe acrobat Pro Dc via going to "Home-> Add an Account" where I can get an option to add external accounts like a box, google drive, etc but I am trying for a custom tool. I need guidance on these points to move further. Thanks 

Hi.I have 4 users, which all got Adobe Standard DC 12 installed.But now they need Adobe Pro DC 12, and it's not possible to upgrade them.I tried to uninstall Standard DC 12 completely, and install again with Classic installer - when they open DC and login, it's still the Standard version...I also tried to run the Cleaner tool - same issue.Do I need to manually change the license key on the computer - and how?Or is it user-related, so that the users will need to get the license changed at their profile?

I have a popup menu created in acrobat javascript using the popUpMenuEx method that works flawlessly with exception of one issue I am having with the bMarked property for a menu item that acts as a toggle switch to turn calculations on/off. Although the menu item works without flaw performing its intended function, for whatever reason, I am unable to display a checkmark/tick next to the popup menu item using the bMarked property when this.calculate=true. I am just wondering if this has anything to do with the 'calculate' property. Has anyone ever experienced this behavior or know what may be causing this problem as I have never had an issue in creating similar popup menu items such as one to toggle 'highlight fields' on/off?  Thank you ahead of time.

Hi, I am currently trying to redorder pages based on names found within each page so I can alphabetize my document. I wrote a script that can find the name I am looking for and successfully store the name and that page number in an array of objects. I can see my search and sort function has been successful when I console.println my sorted array. however, using the this.movePage function to move the actual pages based off of my sorted (alphabetized) array has proven tricky since the page numbers are dynamic and moving one reorders the current document. Do you have a better suggestion on how to move the pages successfully?TLDR: I have pages sorted in an array that I want the document order to resemble. How do I successfully use this.movePage to accomplish this? (Or is there another way?) Thanks in advance.

I prepared an acrobat form that contains a drop-down list.When I try to open the form on my smartphone, the drop-down list doesn't function.This file should arrive to many people; how could I activate the drop-down option in the smartphone?

Hello all, I am really new in that field so perhaps this is not a big deal for you but I am struggeling since a while. I am trying to create a PDF using only templates which I let appear or disapear by pressing buttons (there is always only one active template). Using the following code it works perfectly fine in Acrobat DC Pro but when I open the same file in Acrobat Reader it is completely messed up (first page cannot be deleted-second templated appears but the buttons on that second page does not work correctly..). Perhaps someody knows what is wrong here. var nNumRangee=1,bRetour=0,prevA=[];function navigation(e){this.delay=!0;var t=this.dirty;prevA.push(e),isNaN(Number(e))||(this.getTemplate(e).spawn({bRename:!1,nPage:0,bOverlay:!1}),this.numPages>1&&this.deletePages({nStart:1,nEnd:this.numPages-1})),this.delay=!1,this.dirty=t,bRetour=1}I hope you can help.

HiI am a realtor and use Adobe Pro DC and a program through our mls called Authentisign.I had a  document that was signed through authentisign and when printed on both my office and home computers would black out the signature.When other people printed it, it would print correctly.In doing some research, there was a similar issue on an adobe forum where the person was told to print as image--so I did.  It worked.What would be causing the signatures to be blacked out?  I have printed other documents created from the same program, and have never had an issue.When printing, you can go to advanced and it looks as if a black sheet of paper is put over the document.  When you print as image, there is nothing blocking the document.Anyone have any ideas?  At least I have a work-around, but as I have said I haven't had any issues in the past.Thank you all for your help!

Hi.I have created a tool that does the following using the OLE Automation interface. (1)Divide the pdf file page by page(PDDoc.GetJSObject.extractPages)(2)The divided pdf file's name is from the contents of each page(PDDoc.GetJSObject.getPageNumWords)(3)Get the contents from each divided pdf file(about 250 divided files) and　　check if the file name match(PDDoc.GetJSObject.getPageNumWords). When getting the contents of each file in (3), run-time error '-2147023170(800706be)' occurs,that says automation error, the remote procedure call failed.When the error occured, acrobat application was terminated even though there was no process to terminate the application.The error does not occur in the DC version, but in other versions(XI, 9) What can I do to solve this? Please give me some advice.

Hello community, I would like to do the following: I would like to generate a PDF form, most likely in Acrobat DC or Acrobat DC pro. This form should then be sent to a Java service which fills the form with already existing data from a database. I already had two calls with Adobe Sales and Adobe technical support. They had no known solution but they told me to take a look into this community here. So does anybody know if there is an Adobe software / SDK / cloud which does that in Java? Manipulating PDFs and filling the fields? Or exchanging texts?  Is this doable with the Acrobat SDK? Thank you in advance, have a nice workweek and bestSwissMan
