Acrobat SDK

Hello, new to acrobat and trying to use the "catalog plugin" to create a full text index of  a pdf file(s). At first I was having a hard time finding if this plugin was already installed in the Acrobat DC Pro I jsut installed. Now while in Acrobat, I click "About Adobe Plugins" , I get a dialog box listing what I assume are different plug ins on the left side. I click on "catalog" and on teh right side I see "catalog.api" and it displays "yes" for loaded and certified. So am I all set to use the catalog plugin?  I honestly beleive that when I first saw this about screen it said "no" for loaded but I can't be certain. Could I have installed this plugin without knowing? This may seem like a stupid question but I will have clients that will need this plugin. Is there another way to determine if this catalog plugin is installed and ready to use other than this about box?

I have C# DLL which load PresentationFramework.dll .I call it from Acrobat SDK -> Basic Plugin in Acrobat Pro cd.It works normally without any issue, but when acrobat run on sandbox enable it throws this exception"Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL)"This is the code to call the DLL from the basic plugin "BasicPlugin.api"_declspec(dllexport) void TestLoadDLL(); ACCB1 void ACCB2 MyPluginCommand(void *clientData) { TestLoadDLL(); }This is the code in the C#  "ManagedCSharp.dll" String executablePath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location); try { Assembly.LoadFile(System.IO.Path.Combine(executablePath, "PresentationFramework.dll")); } catch (Exception ex) { string error = "PresentationFramework.dll"; do { error += Environment.NewLine + ex.Message; error += Environment.NewLine + ex.

Very new to Acrobat and using the SDK to interact with PDF files.  I am trying to create a program / app that will index a PDF file (ie create a pdx catalog) so the user does not have to open adobe acrobat and manually create a full text index.  A little overwhelmed by all the different articles on the SDK but after researching countless articles I think the PDF library API is the best way for me to proceed.  I am a Delphi developer but I do have some C experience. Thanks, Joe

I want to create new menu using plugin (Acrobat DC SDK), which will call Certify (Visible Signature) toolbar menu. I want to show custom alert with yes or no before Certify (Visible Signature) exceute.    

When creating multiple PDFs in succession, I receive the error: Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files. "acrobat.dll\AMT\" and then the error "Error registering Distiller window class. Another copy of Acrobat Distiller may already be running. Error: 1410 - Class already exists."

I'm making a pdf that is beyond my basic knowledge of Adobe writer.  I have a few things that I need to add or fix, but I just don't know how to. ** means it's priority**-Paste a dollar amount from other programs into the [Wire Fee] and [Payoff Amount] fields. It just makes a ringing noise when i try**- An action that prompts a completed form to save to a specific file with the [Loan #] as the pdf name. **-A Reset option after the doc is saved**-I keep setting the order I want my fields to progress to, but it seems like it keeps resetting to a default order, line one, left to right.** -I have no idea how to turn this into an Adobe Reader form for others to use and not mess with my formating.**-The[-Per Diem] Calculation reads "Nan" with the calculation I have set up: [Days Per Diem] ("h" Format category is: None, 2 character max ) equals [Overage] "f" divided by [Per Diem] "g" ("f" & "g" both have format category Number, 2 decimal $). Currently [-Per Diem] field's Calcula

Hello, I am trying to create a fillable form where the user enters a dollar amount in three seperate fields: "cost A", "cost B", and "cost C".  I then have a fourth field ("subtotal") that adds "cost A", "cost B", and "cost C" together.  The fifth field is where I am struggling- I need the fifth field ("tax") to calculate the "subtotal" field by four percent or 0.04. I need the "tax" field to show a dollar amount, for example subtotal field equals $100.00, the tax field should calcualte 4% of the subtotal field and show $4.00.  The very last field is the "total amount due" which would be the sum of the subtotal and tax fields.  What is the best way to accomplish this?  Thank you in advance 🙂

I have a acrobat form with a drop down with 3 customer types: Company, NPO, Individual. I also have several drop downs on the same form that might be dependent on my customer type selection. For example, if I select Individual, I want some drop down boxes to have a dash -, because that particular question does not relate to individuals. I manage to do that easy enough. However if I select Individual and I change my mind to select Company instead, the dash - stays in the field. How do I write a code to remove the dash as soon as a change is made from Individual to Company, without having resetting the entire form. 

Hello,I am trying to create a visual basic script to insert information from an Access database into a fillable pdf but due to my company's security settings all pdfs open in Protected View. I'm wondering if anybody knows of a way to "click" the "Enable All Features" button by way of coding - preferrably in visual basic if possible. I am unable to install external software to make this happen.

Is it possible in Acrobat to automatically create/insert bookmarks when a particular string (ex: Order #) is encountered?  I am trying to create individual work order files from one large PDF file (using Split Document into multiple files using bookmarks), but I need to create bookmarks each time the string "Order #" is encountered.  Because the pages vary based on the work order specs (drawings, material needed, instructions, etc.), this text string is not located in a predictable spot on each page.  Once the "Order #" is found, I need to insert a bookmark that includes "Order #" and the next 9 characters that come after it. I know how to do it manually, but there could be 100 or more orders in one file.  Any help is greatly appreciated...thanks!

is it possible to create a bigger response box in Java Script Thanks

I'm brand new to Adobe programming and I'm trying to automate the conversion of an Excel worksheet into a PDF.  I need to add a footer and, through Google research, found out how to do it using "addWatermarkFromText".  Now I need to add an image to the header so I guess I'll have to use "addWatermarkFromFile".  I found out though that that function needs a "trustedfunction" wrapper and I don't know how to create one.  Apparently, you create the trustedfunction and save it to a particular folder. Does anyone know how to do this?  Thanks very much for any help.

Where can I find the SDK documentation for addWaterMarkFromText and addWaterMarkFromFile APIs?

Hi, I have an Acrobat JavaScript that deletes pages in a document based on the absence or presence of an annotation on the page. I developed and tested it with Acrobat Pro. Will these kinds of scripts work with Acrobat Standard 2017? Thank you.

Hi,I used below code for read Annotation comment from the pdf document using acrobat pro 11 . But I need to read Annotation  reply comments also.

Trying to have an alert pop up only if two conditions are met. The script is running On blur for the text box. First condition is the text box and second is a check box just before it. Right now the message is popping up everytime we tab to the text field regardly if the conditions are met. if ((this.getField("EthnicityOther").value.length == 0) && (this.getField("Other1").value = "on"));{app.alert("When Other is selected, please enter a description.")f.setFocus()}

I have field "points" that shows value 30/30, and 3 other fields(C1,C2,C3) for entering values which then substracts from field "points".How do I make it so field "points" can't go bellow 0, it only allow up to 0? for example if I want to enter 31 in field "C1" itdoesn't allow me.INFO:Field "points" have default value of 30 and use custom calculation script:var a = this.getField("points").defaultValue;var b = this.getField("C1").value;var c = this.getField("C2").value;var d = this.getField("C3").value;var x = a-b-c-d;event.value = x + "/30";It doesn't allow me to enter "Field value is in range" which I could use to solve my problem, I can only enter custom validation script.I also have 3 buttons each for fields C1,C2,C3 with dialog boxes where user input numbers which is then writed to fields C1,C2,C3. I think that I need custom validation script for field "points" but not sure how to write one.

Hey guys I'm new here and I'm a complete novice at Javascript. I'm a designer that wants to get better at coding. I'm trying to add a numeric value to the checkboxes in the 'size' row. Each of the 6 checkboxes will have a different value. Those values will be added together and multiplied by the values that will be inserted in the 'quantity' and 'colours' rows, to get a total. So the total at the end should be something like size(s)*quantity*colours. I'm currently stuck at applying values to the checkboxes. I've been at it for about 2 weeks now (seriously) and haven't figure it out. I used arrays to group the checkboxes as seen in the code below. I can check which box is ticked, but I don't know how to apply values to the boxes and only calculate boxes that are ticked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks var estimate = this.getField("estimate"); var sizesMale = ["male_small","male_medium","male_large","male_xl","male_2xl","male_3xl"]; var quantit
