The answer is Yes and No. There is a lot that can be done with a JavaScript folder level automation script, which is called an Add-in. To a user, Add-ins can be almost indistinguishable from a plug-in, but there are not the same as a true Acrobat Plug-in You can read more about it here.  https://www.pdfscripting.com/public/Automating-Acrobat.cfm     ...

The first thing you need to know when filling out a PDF form, is whether it is an "interactive fillable", or a flat document.    If it is "fillable" then it will contain interactive form fields that can be typed into without selecting any tools. Just click into the field and type. But, if it is a flat dumb form, i.e., it's just regular page text with no interactive fields, then use the "Fill and Sign" tools, which are meant for this purpose. I believe this is essentially the same as the old "typewriter" tool.  Adobe likes to have fun confusing customers by renaming tools and moving them around to different categories.     Just as a general rule, never use the "Add Text" tool under the "Edit PDF" tools, unless you know what you are doing. This tool edits the page text, which is why it moves the existing text to the right. It can also introduce all kinds of errors into the PDF. It is intended to only be used by experts to make small changes in documents.    BTW: The old typewriter tool still exists, it's just hidden.   Run this code from the console window to activate it. app.execMenuItem("TypewriterMainToolBar")        ...

A scanned document can't be edited directly because  each page is a single image, as oposed to a combination of text and graphics, which can be edited directly.   However, it is possible.  OCR the PDF first.  If you have a new version of Acrobat, then selecting the "PDF Edit" toolswill automatically OCR the page and break it into what it thinks are text and graphics. But  OCR is tricky and if it's a bad scan, you'll get bad results.      ... View more

I would suggest you post this to an NVDA specific forum, and/or speak with an accessibility expert. Problems with the NVDA screen reader and Acrobat are widely reported.

Please outline exactly how you would like your form to work.   An entire PDF form cannot be a "Page Template".  But individual pages within a PDF form can be made in to "Page Templates". It sounds like you would like a page in your form to be a template page, that can then be repeatedly inserted into the form. Is that correct?   If so, then you'll find the page template tool in the "Organize Pages" toolset.    ... View more

The code I provided follows exactly the two rules you provided.  if the selection in dropdown11 is "No" than the selection in dropdown12 is "N/A" if the selection in dropdown11 is "Yes" than selection in dropdown12 cannot be "N/A"   If there are other rules then they need to be clearly stated. For example, there is nothing in there about the user not being able to change dropdown11.    The defaults are also something that needed to be specified. Lots of details with complexity.  The issue is that if the value of dropdown12 is already N/A, then dropdown11 changes to Yes, dropdown12 has to be changed to something other then N/A so that the rule is followed. What is that other thing?  I choose "A" as a placeholder because that's what I used in my test code. I stated that you'll need to change it to whatever works for your form. Looking back I see that it wasn't stated as clearly I it should have been.          ... View more

Ok, a little more complex that I originally thought.  First, the value of "dropdown11" hasn't changed by the time "dropdown12"  gets the change from the "dropdown11" script.  So there needs to be a blocking mechanism.  And there is a condition missing from the "dropdown12" scripts.  Finally, both dropdowns need to be set to "commit immediately"   Here's the tested code:   Validation Script for "dropdown11" var oFld12 = this.getField("dropdown12"); this.change = true; if(event.value == "No") oFld12.value = "N/A"; else if((event.value == "Yes") && (oFld12.value == "N/A")) oFld12.value = "A"; this.change = false;   Validation Script for "dropdown12" if(!this.change) event.rc = (this.getField("dropdown11").value == "No")&& (event.value == "N/A") || (this.getField("dropdown11").value == "Yes")&& (event.value != "N/A");   Note that the code for dropdown11 uses "A" as the default value for dropdown12. Change this to the default value on your form for dropdown12.     ... View more

There is a (paid-for) tool here that does exactly what you want.  This tool is general purpose.  https://www.pdfscripting.com/public/Select-and-Load-Form-Data-Tool-Description.cfm   This tool is a code sample that shows how it's done for a CSV with specific column names: (it has to be modified to work with your form and CSV) https://www.pdfscripting.com/public/ImportExport-Excel-Data-as-Text-Description.cfm       ... View more

There's a little complexity to this.  One way to do this is to use two scripts, i.e., Validation scripts on both dropdowns.    Validation Script for "dropdown11" var oFld12 = this.getField("dropdown12"); if(event.value == "No") oFld12.value = "N/A"; else if((event.value == "Yes") && (oFld12.value == "N/A")) oFld12 = "SomethingElse"; // Note, you'll need to provide a valid value for dropdown12   Validation Script for "dropdown12" event.rc = !((this.getField("dropdown11").value == "Yes")&& (event.value == "N/A"));     ...

If that calculation is on the "K1_" field, then it needs to use "event.value" to set the field value.  If it is not on the "K1_" field, then it needs to be removed.  Use the calculation for the "K1_" field provided above.   ... View more

In general, it sounds like your scripts are walking on top of each other. If the calculation script is used, then only the calculation script should set the field value. If code somewhere else is setting the same field value, the scripts will have a conflict.   Something like this: calculation for "K1_". and this is the only script that sets the "K1_" value.   if (this.getField("K1 add-up checkbox").isBoxChecked(0)) { event.value = 0; } else event.value = this.getField("K1").value;   ...

Use an Adobe Sign form.  You don't need to pay for the basic service. It comes with Acrobat.  Use the Prepare Forms tools to create a form, then send it for signatures. You'll need a login on the sign site. If you purchased Adobe CC for Acrobat then its the same login.      ... View more

Jennifer,     There is no built-in Acrobat tool or direct way with an Acrobat script to export data directly to an Excel file. There are however several partial solutions.

All HTTP operations are a handshake. Form submission is a specialized case, but it is still a handshake. Quite literally it is either an HTTP Get or Put. Only the submission follows a specific format.  It's all outlined in the reference. I'd be happy to provide you with custom help for a fee. PM me on this forum.      ... View more

Notice that in the reference entry for the Net.HTTP.request function that the "Product field on the Rights bar" is set to "F".  This means the PDF requires  form rights in addition to privilege. Form Rights is unfortunately a broad category. There are several form rights. Like form filling, which is given automatically. But form rights for HTTP access is a different thing. It's not free.    Your best way around this restriction is to use a regular form submit to a PHP (or other) sever script, which then makes the HTTP call you want, and then returns the result to a hidden form field.  This however is still a privileged operation that will be blocked until the user approves the operation.       ...

Here's a modification of your script that rotates the individual widgets based on the page they are on. var nPgRot, cFldName, oFld, aPgs; for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) { cFldName = this.getNthFieldName(i); oFld = this.getField(cFldName); if ((oFld==null) || (oFld.type != "text")) continue; aPgs = (typeof(oFld.page) == "object")?oFld.page:[oFld.page]; aPgs.forEach(function(nPg,i){nPgRot = this.getPageRotation(nPg); this.getField(cFldName + "." i).rotation = nPgRot + 90; }) }   Keep in mind that I just wrote this off the top of my head. It is untested and likely contains syntax errors. So go over it carefully.      ... View more

Fields don't have page associations. In fact the fields don't exist on pages at all. They exist in a special structure at the document level. What you see on the pages are the widgets. The "getField" function gets the field object, and the properties for the first widget.  The other widgets have to be gotten using a modified field name.     If the field is named "TestField" then the first widget is "TestField.0", and the second widget is "TestField.1".  The number of widgets is provided in the field's "page" property. If the field has more than one widget, then the page property will be an array of page numbers, one for each widget.  So, your script needs to be modified to get the number of widgets after it acquires the field, then call "getField" for each individual widget.  The script could also use the page number to get the correct rotation for page the widget is on.      ...

What triggers the copy?   There are many different ways this can be done.  The most effective is to use group naming. The base field name is the same on each line, but the name is prefixed with text that differentiates the lines.  For example "Line1.FromMM", "Line1.FromDD", etc.     Then code on a button on line #2 could acquire all fields on line #1 with one command. And copy it with another Like this:   // Get all fields on line 1 var aLine1Fields = this.getField("Line1").getArray(); // This loop copies data form line 1 to line2 aLine1Fields.forEach(function(a){this.getField(a.name.replace("Line1","Line2")).value = a.value;}); A little more code and this could be abstracted into a folder level function that works for all lines.      ...

Yes, this is complex, but doable if broken down properly.    And to get it all worked out you have to start simple, i.e., with the mimimum set of fields necessary for testing.  Read these articles: https://www.pdfscripting.com/public/List-Field-Usage-and-Handling.cfm  https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/change_another_field/ https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/js_list_combo_livecycle/   You'll also need to learn a bit about how scripts are built in the Acrobat model. For example, to trigger a script from a selection in a dropdown, use a value related event, such as Validation or Keystroke Commit. The script will also need to use the event object to acquire the selected value.      ... View more
