Acrobat SDK

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

The following code works perfectly in Microsoft excel VBA (Visual Basic For Applications).Though this Early Binding version works , But if I use it in a workbook, I can not open the excel file on a machine that  Acrobat Pro is not installed.  Excel doesn't find the reference to Acrobat Pro, and all the functions stop working. I need to Late Bind the reference. How can I change it to late binding? Dim AcroPDDocNew As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc Dim AcroPDDocAdd As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc Dim lRet As Long lPages=0 lRet = AcroPDDocNew.Create() lRet = AcroPDDocAdd.Open("E:\Test1.pdf") lRet = AcroPDDocNew.InsertPages(lPages - 1, AcroPDDocAdd, 0, 1, True) Thank you. 

I'm new to automating stuff in Acrobat. We generate a tenancy agreement and there after need to add some documents to create the complete document before it can be sent for signatures. How can we script / program to automatically insert the documents into the main file. 

I am using VBA to extract data from a PDF into my access database.  For part of this I need to check if a drop down has been populated before continuing with the rest of the script.   This line works fine in my database that has an access backend:     If jso.getField("Room10").Value <> " " Then     But when I test in my database that has an SQL backend I get a data mismatch error.  I am unsure if it is the backend that is causing the issue but thought I'd mention it just in case.  Below is how my script is set up.  It checks each row in a table to see if it is populated.  If the first drop down in that row is not populated then it goes down to the next row until it reaches the last row in the table. It may just be that my If statment is incorrect but I have tested many options for this and found this one to work on my local machine.     Private Sub JobNumber_Click() 'Copyright Notice: The following code was origina

Hello all.AVAppGetActiveDoc works fine for single document. It returns me current active AVDoc and then I can copy it to file and then process:AVDoc pAVDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc(); PDDoc pDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc(pAVDoc); PDDocCopyToFile(pDoc, &params);Portfolio pdf also comes as single pdf file and contains several inside. But unfortunatly AVAppGetActiveDoc does not return a collection object, it returns the one selected in the Porfolio. As the result I can not copy to file the full Portfolio document:PDDoc pDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc(pAVDoc); PDCollection pdCollection = PDDocGetPDCollection(pDoc); PDCollectionIsValid(pdCollection); // FALSEIs there any way to get the Portfolio object instead of internal pdf one?

Hello, I'm trying to make an interactive/fillable PDF form. I'm new to this, so I might need some walking through.. 1) If the sentence starts with Perfect. (in this case, the only word in the field will be Perfect.)for the font color to change to blue, (normally red as default).> Will the font change back to red if Perfect. is deleted?Because I only need it to be blue in this one case. 2) If the sentence starts with Suggested Answer : to have those first two words and the colon to be italicized, but not the rest of the text. I was told that these require some complicated solutions. But I'd appreciate any help I can get!Thank you.

I am looking to create a PDF form. This form would contain drop down lists to select from various items. Then I would like to export this form into a new document that contains a detailed description for each of my drop down selections from that form. For example;if I select:Line 1 (color) drop down  select "Red"Line 2 (material) drop down select "Plywood",Can I "export" this form and the new document read:Color: Red; Corvette red with PPG durablast vibrant color.Material: Plywood; OBS brand plywood with 800 dpi I am looking to have a form that has selections with limtied details, but then export it to a file that pulls a full descrption of my selections, including say a price for said selection. Is this possbile? If so, where can I start? Look for informationon how to make this type of document?

I am getting the error of "expecting a number object" while trying to insert a file into a large PDF of 163 pages.  What does this mean and how do I correct it?

Whenever I set the scale ratio, it doesn't measure using what I entered, it rounds up. For instance, I enter .125 inches but it rounds to .13. It also happens when I enter other inch ratios too. The measuring is then just an estimate measurement not true to the scale. I'm trying to measure in feet. How do I stop that rounding from happening? Rounding throws measuring and dimensions off, I would like to measure using the scale I enter not the rounded dimension. Would someone know how to do it? Thanks.

Please can someone help me.When using JS for scripting InDesign I can refer to something the user has selected on a page be it some text, a text box or a graphic.If I have several form fields selected, when in 'Prepare Form', can I refer to that selection with JS or VB etc?Thanks in advance. 

Dear Community,I have been facing this issue for some time now and I request for your help on this matter.Background: I receive certain PDF files created by a company in Egypt. I am able to view these files without any issues. However, once I compile them on my PC (Kuwait), many text characters are replaced by boxes.Temporary Soultion: After some research, I found out that the issue is with embedded fonts. I figured a way to solve this. I print the individual docs I receieve by changing my print settings (remove all fonts from 'Never Embed') and then use these newly printed PDFs for my compilation.However, such is extremely time consuming as I deal with a large number of files.  Requirement: I would like to know "What instruction I can give to my folks in Egypt, such that I can simply compile the files I receive without facing any issue?" Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

I'm trying to automate adding a separately saved pdf file as a new page to another pdf. Or simply combine two pdf files. Either from Microsoft Excel VBA or Acrobat's Java Script. Any kind of advice is appreciated.

Hi there,Please can someone help.I'm trying to write a script to change the properties of a group of checkboxes on a page.Besides checkboxes there are text fields too.The checkboxes aren't necessarily named the same however, they're close to each other and they sit on the same vertical line from the bottom of the page.I'm trying to loop through each field item using getNthFieldName() and from there I can get the position of each checkbox.Only thing is even though the checkboxes are close to each other, as you read from left to right on the page, looping through the fields produces a different order?I've tried changing the tab order to 'by row' but this has no effect on order of the list when looping though the fields and using getNthFieldName().Does the reading order, or tab order, have no bearing on the way the fields are returned using the method below? for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);} Thanks in advance. 

Scenario: I have button and I assigned some actions to it using the add button from action tab, e.g., first action "Go To A Page View" and second action "Execute A Menu Item".Is there an easy way to convert/export these actions as Javascript to use it somewhere else or tweak it?I know I can write the javascript from scratch, but would be nice to use this as a way for fast javascript built.Thank you

When creating multiple PDFs in succession, I encounter the error: Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files. "acrobat.dll\AMT\"  Selecting OK closes the error. The error comes up next. "Error registering Distiller window class. Another copy of Acrobat Distiller may already be running. Error: 1410 - Class already exists." Clicking the "OK" clears and processing resumes. What are possible cause of this? THank You

I am having difficulties locking a form that has multiple digital signatures.  This particular form has signature fields for the requisitioner as well as 3 approvers.  If I have signatures in all 4 fields the option to lock the document appears as the last approver signs it.  My problem is depending on who the requisitioner is they may not need approval from 3 people.  Maybe only 1 or two.  The lock option only appears after all fields are signed.  I was hoping it was just tied to the last signature field, but even if I skip down to the last signature field it doesn't give me the option to lock.  Its only after I go back and fill in the other signatures that it finally gives me the option to lock.   Is there away around this somehow?

Hello, I need help with making an interactive PDF.I'm new to this so I'm not sure how much of this is possible to do, but I would appreciate some help! 1) I need the font size in both left and right boxes to be set at 14pt and then to gradually reduce to fit the size of the box depending on the amount of text. 2) I would also like the text on the right hand column to be Red and 14pt font, unless the first word is "Perfect." the word perfect should be this shade of blue. Or for the box to automatically show a blue "Perfect." if the Grade is "A" (not sure which is easier to do). Thank you in advance! 

Using Pro DC how do I convert a jpeg file to a searchable pdf file? 

Hello, at least two monthes I observe that when user click on Fill&Sign and place a sign acrobat produce a lot of events and sometimes it leads to crush application. First I thought that some issue in my code but I did find nothing.So I created basic plugin from suggested template, subscribed to a PDDocDidClose, PDDocWillClose, PDDocWillSave, PDDocDidSave events and run test.In case when I try to retrieve file name from PDDoc it will crush (not always)(only one action in each callback). Register callbacks: ACCB1 ASBool ACCB2 PluginImportReplaceAndRegister(void) { // Create and register the PdDoc closed notifications callback m_PDDocDidCloseCallback = ASCallbackCreateNotification(PDDocDidClose, MyPDDocDidClose); AVAppRegisterNotification(PDDocDidCloseNSEL, gExtensionID, m_PDDocDidCloseCallback, nullptr); // Create and register the PDDoc will save notification callback m_PDDocWillSaveCallback = ASCallbackCreateNotification(PDDocWillSave, MyPDDocWil
