Acrobat SDK

Hey everyone,I'm having an issue with comparing documents. We're generating PDF output from DITA (XML) content using an XSL stylesheet and the DITA Open Toolkit 1.8. The output cannot be compared it seems, I get the following message:Acrobat could not compare the documents completely. Do you want to see the report anyway?The report finds 0 differences. The PDF's I'm compare differ 2 pages (71 to 73) and the Table of Contents on the fourth page is already different, but not found.Again, these are not scanned documents, they're created using DITA Open Toolkit. The compare is done with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. Any fixes for this?

I want to create a basic form that several different people will use. In this form, the user would enter a measurement in inches but when they tab or press enter, I would like their entry to convert automatically to feet & inches based on their input. Does that make sense? Example: The user puts in 115" and then goes to the next field. It would change the entry to 9.58' (the actual is 9.58333') Here is a screenshot of the form fields.  

In Adobe Acrobat I have created an action ("readblepdf") to convert the pdf to a searchable-pdf and save it to the same folder. When I click the 'start' button it works fine. However, I am interested to know would the AppleScript code to start the action when a file is added to a folder, using Hazel or alternatively a folder action. Thank you

Kia ora (Hello) I'm spending time trying to identify what CSS styles / HTML / JavaScript support the Adobe Acrobat Pro mechanism to Create PDF from Web Page has - e.g. what can the Acrobat 'browser' do, and what can't it do. Is there existing documentation on what Acrobat uses as a 'browser' mechanism for accessing the webpage and retrieving it to convert into a PDF?

I have 30 layers that I created in InDesign and exported to PDF (multiple pages). I created a dropdown menu with corresponding item lists. I want to be able to show only the layer selected from the dropdown list (plus keep the main header layer active at all times). I found this post that almost worked for me, but it kept previously selected layers active once I changed the selection. I need the the other layers to hide if the selection changes. Thank you for your time, and please take it easy on me, this is my first attempt at Javascript!

I have a question about manipulating PDF layers.Goal: I want to delete layers in a PDF.I would like to automatically delete layers without opening Acrobat Pro, so I'm considering using the Acrobat SDK.Please let me know if the following can be done using the SDK:・Delete PDF layers・Hide PDF layers and flatten layersAlso, if there is any other function that can delete layers in PDF, I would like you to tell me.

I am preparing a multiple page form that documents vendor price bidding amoungst three vendors (on pages "C", "D", and "E" of the document) and also has an agreement built into the document on a different page. In the document, pages "C", "D", and "E" record quoted prices from three different vendors and calculate a daily total. On a different agreement page, there is a text field with a pulldown option to select the page of the bid from the vendor who will be awarded the contract ( "C", "D", or "E" ) Also on the agreement page, there is text field to enter the estimated number of operating days per year. I want the calculation of the estimated annual value of the contract to appear on the agreement page based on number of operating days multiplied times the daily amount that is calculated into a text field on the selected page.  I am thinking to use a hidden text field (Terxt2 on image)  that is equal to the variable based on the selection in the dro

So I'm making an invoice template. It basically allows you to add as many fields as you want, along with notes for those fields and delete any fields. The issue is that as written you can only delete the most recent field. Otherwise, there's a big whole where the field used to be. I want to figure out a way to move all the fields after the deleted field up the appropriate amount. I know how the logic needs to look but I can't get it to work. Does the API allow you to move fields already on the document? Here's my code as of now  ```var lineItemCount = 1;var yTracker = 542;var lineItemNoteMap = {};var currentLineItem = 0; function addLineItem() {lineItemCount++;// Define field namesvar lineName = "lineItem " + lineItemCount;var slugName = "lineItemSlug " + lineItemCount;var rateName = "rate " + lineItemCount;var hoursName = "hours " + lineItemCount;var totalName = "total " + lineItemCount;// Define y valuesvar line_uly = yTracker - 13;var line_lry = line_uly - 21;// Add L

I am using Adobe DC. I am trying to enter a simple equation in the "Simplified field notations:" feature under the Calculate tab in my text box named, "OverallPercentage" (without the quotes). I click the radio button for Simplified field notation: then click the edit button and the "Create and edit javascripts" window pops up. I enter the simple mathematical operation, "GrandTotal/488" (without the quotes). I click the "OK" button and the Calculate tab reappears with the Simplified field notation box empty and the radio button unselected but the "Value is not calculated" radio button is selected (this is the default configuration). It's though my inputs were completely ignored. I do not know what is going on! I have researched this problem and cannot find any answers and I am following all of the many tutorials to accomplish this seemingly simple task. Does anyone know what I am missing?[Adobe is the COMPANY name... but there is a program named Acrobat DC][Moved from non-technical For

Hello, I am a beginner to Acrobat javascripting and I would love to find a way to show and hide pages at the end of my document based on the selection in my dropdown menu.  I have attached the dropdown box and the pages I would like to be visable when picking the first selection are numbered 54-56.  Pages 54-92 would be invisible before making the selection.  Is this possible and if so, could someone help me with the script needed?  Thanks so much for the advice/help. Best wishes,  Ian. 

On Windows 10, using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.  Have 1300 .msg files.  Each have a .txt file attached.  Want to convert the .msg file *AND* the .txt attachment to PDF.   Have attempted multiple processes to convert to PDF, but cannot get anything to work.  Does someone have some ideas or a solution to this? Is there an Action Wizard for this?    Would ideally like to convert/combine them ALL, but any help is appreciated!

I have a PDF with a page that collects 'building information,' and the user needs to be able to repeat that page up to 10 times to add additional buildings. I don't just want 10 pages of the same fields in case someone only needs to fill out one building page. I'd like a button to 'add additional buildings' that will open one more building page to fill out (etc. etc. until they've reached 10, if desired). Is there a way to hide duplicate pages, and have a button trigger those hidden pages to show up to be completed? 

Hello!  I've never written a custom calculation, so I'm lost; could someone please help me write one to round up/down at .50/.49 with this field name:CreditedTotalLocal+OtherHEFor example, if the value of this field - which is the result of the "Value is the sum(+) of the following fields" function on two fields named CreditedXXXXLocalHE and CreditedOtherHE - is between 3.0 and 3.49, this field should be 3.0.  If the value is 3.50 to 3.99, the field should show 4.0.I'm sure this is very simple, but I've tried some things from this and other forums with no luck.  Please help!Thanks in advance,Kim

Hey folks, I have an evaluation form that is pretty straightforward, in which an evaluator determines a score of 13 criteria by selecting a value of 1-10 in a dropdown.  The dropdown has a blank value (perhaps a single space?), then 1-10 as individual options.  I have a text field that calucates the average of these scores through normal Acrobat functionality. The owner of the form, however, would like for the average to be calculated only by the specific dropdown boxes that have an actual selection. So, if the evaluator has only selected 8 values of the 13 possible, the average is calculated on those 8, rather than providing 5 false "zeros" into the calculation.  I hope this makes sense.  The dropdowns are named sequentially (Score_1, Score_2, Score_3...).   My Javascript is not strong, and I'm not sure how best to code a solution.  Any assistance would be appreciated.
