Acrobat SDK

I have a PDF generated off site by a 3rd party developer, that contains an embedded 3D model window. I have developed a Javascript that applies a "Preliminary" stamp across the face of each sheet. This stamp interferes with  the model interaction, so I would like to leave the stamp off or modify the stamp in someway if the window is present. The problem is we do not know ahead of time what sheet this window will be on. I am looking for a way to “scan” the page for this 3D canvas window. If I can find a way to identify this I could use an IF statement to skip this sheet when applying the stamps. The problem is I don’t see any unique identifier for this type of object. I am currently using Acrobat DC Pro.

Hi everyone,  I'm trying to automate a custom button dedicated to page navigation, it would:   1. Set up a "mouse up" action to go to a destination at the bottom of my PDF.   2. Create a second button at the desired page in the PDF, it should reference where the original button is. Right now I've created a "destinations" tool to move to a specific page. However, I would like to set the destination to the newly created button and visa-versa.  My employer struggles with technology and I believe creating simple buttons like this will help with the form creation and navigation.  Here's some of my code: ("Buttons" is my array of buttons)for(var j = 0; j < buttons.length; j++){  if(buttons[j].name.substring(0, 7) == "FINDING"){      buttons[j].fillColor = color.blue;      buttons[j].textColor = color.white;      buttons[j].textSize

Hello, could you please help me to script the following in a pdf form:if A+B>10 then A+B=10Thanks

I'm currently creating a form where many of the questions are conditional and I have never worked with JavaScript before.For example, Q9 requires the user filling out the form to select radio buttons in Group "Q9" as "Yes" or "No". Based on their selection, a text box, another Yes/No set of radio buttons, or a list box will become required and change from "readonly=true" to "readonly=false".  Another example, I'd like help with is for list box conditions. For example, Q9 has a list box appear after the Yes/No radio button has been selected, but the listbox has a second condition, the list box is multiple choice and if "Other" is chosen, a text box will become required and change from "readonly=true" to "readonly=false" as well to explain what "Other" is.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I have a group of 2 radio buttons in two lines, related to the first the values a, b, (a*b)the second line a1, b1, (a1*b1). in a pdf form I would like to have a script that gives the following:if RB1 is checked the values a, b, a*b will appear, if RB2 is checked RB1 line will show no values and values in RB2 will appear and vice versa... RB1       a              b                 a*bRB2       a             b1              a1*b1 Thanks

I'm trying to set up a form so that four text fields will populate with data from a previously user entered field (separate text in each text field) at the same time. Below is a screenshot of the fields that I am looking to populate when "Sole-Trader" is selected from the "employment_type1" dropdown list: When the dropdown list is set to "Sole-Trader", the data for fields "undefined_68, 70, 72 & 74" is to come from the following fields, which have been completed earlier in the document. I have reviewed the existing threads and can find the following script, which I have attempted to modify, but to no avail: var v1 = this.getField("employment_type1").valueAsString; if (v1=="Sole-Trader") undefined_66 = ("residential_address_1"); else event.value = "";  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I am new to developing with Acrobat.  We recently purchased Acrobat PRO DC nad my goal is to create an application to create "full text catalog' (PDX file set) without having to manually do it through Acrobat. My client deals with large PDF files and sometimes takes over an hour to index. The hope is my app can lauch and index the file before the client gets into work. I have made several posts in this forum and have learned a few things - at this point I am starting to believe that I am not able to create this PDX file set from scratch - there are tools to update and rebuild it but not create it from scratch.  First question is can someone confirm for me that the "full text catalog" can only bre created manually through Acrobat?  In my latest research with the "javascript for acrobat" documents I came across a javascript object "catalogjob" that looks like it might do what I am looking to do. Any information / examples out there using "catalogjob"? I don't have much exp

Can someone pls help me. I'm trying to create dialog box but I got stuck at checkboxes and don't know how to proceed, I have lookedonline for examples but still can't figure it out.What i want is if checkbox is checked and when ok button is pressed to target specific field,(example: ckb1 is checked and when ok button pressed field "text1" get value of 10, if ckb2 is checked "text1" get value 20...etc)(I won't be checking both at the same time so it doesn't matter what happen if both are checked at the same time.)I'm not asking for code just explanation or example how to do it. Thanks

Hi All, I've been attempting to use a dialog box to add two new cases within my PDF form on Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. I used Javascript customize the inputs and have tested it using the debugger. However, it will not let me access/use the data passed in the box or add it to the form itself. Here's the simple dialog box:Two cases: observations and references.Click Okay Now I want that data to automatically load onto the page. How can I implement a functional dialog box like that for my user? Thanks for the help in advance. I'm new to this and I want to make the user experience as easy as I can. 

Looking for a Document level script and Field level script that will ignore blanks in the average but will count 0s in the average. I have several fields for subaverages and a cumulaitve average. I have been using these two scripts to ignore blanks but now they want the 0s in the averages. Any suggestions would help! function calcAverage(fields, ignoreBlanks) {var total = "";var n = "";for (var i in fields) {var f = this.getField(fields[i]);if (f==null) {console.println("Error! Can't locate a field called: " + fields[i]);continue;}if (f.valueAsString=="" && ignoreBlanks) continue;total+=Number(f.valueAsString);n++;}if (n=="") event.value = "";else event.value = total/n;} calcAverage(["PLO_1_a", "PLO_1_b", "PLO_1_c", "PLO_1_d", "PLO_1_e"], true, true);

Hello.  I'm trying to have two fields in Acrobat automatically calculate based off two other fields filled in by the employee for our employee bill back form. The employee will fill in the field Total Hours and the field AmountHr (amount per hour).  I then need the field named Bill Back Monies NMI to calculate what 25% of Total Hours*Amount/Hr is, and another field called Total Bill Back Monies Emp to calculate what 75% is.  I know this sounds simple, but I've never written formulas/script in Acrobat.

Hi everyone,In Acrobat DC I created a custom Tool, containing some custom Actions: Now I want to share the Tool in my company. So I exported it to a TestTool.aaui and the Action to TestAction.sequ. When I import the Tool and Action files afterwards on a new computer, the Tool doesn't contain the Action:I still have to assign the Action to the Tool manually on every single computer (this is not very handy).How do I allow users to simply install the Toolbox, already containing all of the new Actions, without having the users to configure it themselves?Thanks for your help!Regards.

Hi everyone,Is it possible to restrict editing of a pdf with a permission password in javascript?Is it also possible to set the password security settings in javascript? (printing allowed, changes not ... etc.)Regards.

Hello everyone,I am trying to create a form with three drop down lists. With the last drop down list giving me different information based on the first two drop down selections. Is it even possible? For example, the first drop down is "grades" with options: 9, 10, 11, and 12. The second drop down is the "subjects" English or History. The third drop down "Standards" should give me the proper information based on the previous two drop down selections. For example, 10th grade history should give me some drop down options like: H10.1, H10.2, and H10.3 and 9th grade English should give me drop down options like: E9.1, E9.2, and E9.3. Thank you in advance for any guidance. P.S. I am using Adobe Acrobat DC

I need help with sorting of a created portfolio in Visual Basic 6 with JavaScript and Acrobat Pro DC. I can create successfully a portfolio with  some entries. I want to sort these entries by a specific sort order. I tried this by entering a sorting code into the description field as a workaround. This works.
