Each document is identified by a key text that is the user's code. The user code is always printed in the same place on each type of document.The combined PDF should show the pages following this scheme:Cover letter - user 1Account statement - user 1Application - user 1Cover letter - user 2Account Statement - User 2Request - user 2Cover letter - user 3Account status - user 3Request - user 3etc... Is it possible to do this with Acrobat?  If possible, where can I get an example of how to achieve this type  of combination?If it is not possible to do this kind of combination directly with Acrobat, any idea how it can be done using programming code? The files contain documents from hundreds of users and

I have browsed the forums and have tried some samples, but I can't make any headway.  I have a numeric field on an form in Acrobat X that I want to be an average of several groups of check boxes.  For the simplicity sake of my test, I have three groups of 5 check boxes.  For each group of 5 boxes, they have an export value of "1", "2", "3", "4" and "5" respectively.  The first 5 have the name "Prop1", the second group is named "Prop2" and the third is "Prop3".  If I take my numeric field where I want the average and go to the calculations tab and select "Average" and then chose "Prop1", "Prop2" and "Prop3", it works as long as none of the groups have a blank check box.  I want it to ignore any group with a blank check box (where the value of the group would be "0" or null) and only average the groups that have values.  For instance, if the group "Prop1" has the "3" check box selected, and the group "Prop2" has the "3" check box selected and the group

In Acrobate, I have a PDF, and in the PDF is an image. I am looking to be able to click on the image and have it populate an email template with JUST the image included (either in the body or attached to the email template). I know how to create a button and use submit form to get an e-mail template, but it only allows me to send the whole PDF in the email. I only want the specific image in the PDF to be in the e-mail..Can someone help me with this?

I have successfully created a new PDF and added bookmarks to it.  I am trying to create child or nested bookmarks, but can't seem to figure out if this can be done using vba.  The code I am using to create the bookmarks is;PDFPageView.GoTo (ws.Cells(irow, 1).Value)AcroApp.MenuItemExecute ("NewBookmark")x = PDBookmark.GetByTitle(LiquidPDF, "Untitled")x = PDBookmark.SetTitle(ws.Cells(irow, 2).Value)This works well, but really need to nest some of my bookmarks.Thanks,Dave

Hello.Basically, I have 120 fields and I need them to be displayed in groups of 30.So, there are 4 buttons:Fields 1 to 30 are visible. The others are hidden.Fields 31 to 60 are visible. The others are hidden.Fields 61 to 90 are visible. The others are hidden.Fields 91 to 120 are visible. The others are hidden.This works and does exactly what I want, but it is a bit laggy, taking a few seconds for each button to perform its actions. So, I tried to solve this in some way and arrived at the following "solution":I left the 120 fields hidden, and created new 30 fields to just display the information.Now, when clicking on the buttons, they do not hide/show, but exchange information between them, thus displaying only the 30 that I want, according to the button that is pressed.It worked, but it got even more laggy.And now, I'm out of ideas.So I come here to ask: Is there any less laggy way of dealing with this? Thanks.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a script for a text field. I'm new to javascript so it's somewhat is a challenge to me. I was wondering if there is a function that can search my entire pdf for a string and if the string is there then change the value of the text box to another string, for example "Found." To be more specific, I wanted to check off buttons if three certain words are found through out my document. I believe I can handle the rest of the script if I can get some guidance on how to scan my doccument for a certrain string. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! 

I am very new to creating Adobe Forms and also very new to Javascript. I've been tasked at work to create a form with fillable fields that can be submitted whenever someone needs to request a new project from my department. Easily done. The catch is that they also wanted 1) the ability to add attachments to each submission (Solved), and 2) the ability to create a unique document ID each time a submission comes in. #2 is where I'm stuck! I did some digging through the forums and found some different javascript codes that did the trick. After experimenting, I found that the yyyymmddHHMM format works perfectly for assigning document IDs. I set the script to assign a number when the Form is opened. Everything workedgreat! ...until I "Distribute" the Form and publish it. In short, even though I clear the fields and save the document, the Form "opens" anew and assigns a document ID in the text field when I hit Distribute to publish the Form, which makes the document ID static/

I'm looking for strategies to speed up the time it takes for an interactive PDF form to update.  As I added more interactive elements it takes longer for the form to update if something is changed. For example, the "keyboard" wait icon is now on for about 3-5 seconds everytime make an update to a field. I'm wondering if working on calculation order will improve this, but figure it would be more efficient to see if anyone else has had to address this before diving in and playing with calculation order.

Hello!I have several checkboxes in my PDF, and I would like them to act as follows:• When clicking once, the check appears in white.• When clicking again, the check changes to green ["RGB", 0/255, 180/255, 160/255]• When you click again, the check leaves. .value = "Off"; And then, I would like to use these colors as conditions for some ifs.Something like this:if (this.getField("Checkbox1").textColor == ["RGB", 0/255, 180/255, 160/255]) { something happen }orif (this.getField("Checkbox1").textColor == ["RGB", 1, 1, 1]) { something happen } Is it possible to do these things? If so, how?I tried, but was unsuccessful. Thank you!

Hello, I am working on automating and preparing a form for digital signature. For prior military, I am referring to an nonjudicial punishment form. The form will be passed back and forth between a commander and a service member and they will add their intitials next options and then digitally sign. I have added a javascript code to execute onblur when the digital signature field is pressed. A dialog box appears and has the commander type his/her initials into one of two options. (I realize that I could use a radio button and it would slove my problems, but its the military and we require physically typing initials into the box). After the commander presses OK, a second window for the digital signature appears. A second javascript is then executed upon signature (from the signed tab) that places the date and time into particular readonly fields in certain blocks on the form (again I realize the digital signature has this information but this is the military and if the block isn't c

I need to be able to have a form with various fields to do computations based on various ranges. However, the best I have been able to come up with is the field range option which give me 0, 1 and 2 as options for the user on the form. The problem I have is that I need to exclude the 1. The solution I have been seeing but not able to do myself is the custom validation script. Is begging appropriate?   I would really appreciate it.    

Wondering if there is a way to make an image field always be at the back of the page, that is so all other fields will be on top of the image field so the white space in the image field does not obscure such text, etc. I tried moving it in the tab order to no avail.

Hello, community. 🙂 I am creating a fillable form with some calculation and dependent options.But, I am encountering some problems. I already searched Google, here in the forum (in all topics related to dropdown), stack overflow ... And I still couldn't solve it.The first problem, and the most annoying: I create a dropdown that is dependent on the values ​​of other 3 dropdown lists, and that changes its content according to the choices of the previous dropdowns.I managed to generate the dropdown, with great difficulty, but when I click on an option, it does not keep the selected item, showing only the first item in the list.The second problem is that the list items only appear after I click on the dropdown and not before. It is blank / empty and, after I click it, it displays the result.I already checked the option to commit immediately after choosing, however, this did not solve the problem.I read, in another topic, that the "setItem ()" method is not the most suitable, b
