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!

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

I have a list of results from running a regular expression matching from VBA against a PDF - I then take each result and feed that into a  AcroAVDoc.FindText search. The FindText command  will highlight the result in the pdf.  Is there any way to find the RECT struct of the highlighted text?

Within forms I would like to add a script to check the contents of a textfield (TextBox1), to determine if it has been left empty. If it is empty do nothing and wait (or flash to prompt the user). If populated with alphanumeric text length greater than > 5 characters then make visible a dropdown box, dropdown2 for example and stop any user prompt. I presume I would add the script under the 'run custom validation script' of validate option of properties box for which the checking is required, TextBox1 in this example case. Regards

I am looking for Acrobat tools or SDK (.NET Core run time) to read "AcroFields" and dynamically assign the values for PDF and export it to client desktop. This should also support barcode and QR code.  Let me know if this is possible. 

I'm hoping someone could help me create a script that would extract the first two and the last two pages of a document and then save the new four page document with _cov appended. Step 2 would save what is remaining of the origianl documet with _text appended to the filename. So from one document I would end up with two files (filename_cov.pdf) and (filename_text.pdf) I work in a print shop and we receive single files for books. Because the print on different stocks I have been manually separating the covers from the text portion before imposing for print. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.

Hello to everyone. I am at the beginning of the road in editing and creating editable pdf documents (I use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC) and I would need a little help in solving the problem that is detailed in the attached image. I managed to introduce the checkboxes, to offer them values and also to create the total of the services that are checked. If I check several boxes in the service area, in the total area it gives me the sum of the values assigned to the checked boxes.I failed to make the condition that gives me the ability to connect the platform area with the value area and also the condition that gives me the ability to link the service area with the value area. Any help is welcome and I am grateful for it. Thank you!All the best!
