Complex caculations require scripting.

by "automatically selected", do you mean that you want the "Conversion calendrier" button actions to be executed? Or do you mean that you want the "Conversion calendrier" buttons to act like the "Ok" button, and end the dialog?   To end the dialog, call the dialog.end() function.   If you want the commit function to be called for these buttons, then it has to be done manually like this.      this.commit(dialog);     ...

Adobe Reader doesn't do this on it's own, or at all. The flattening is caused by some other process. For example, if the file was printed to PDF. Or if the file is managed by a document management system of some kind.      ... View more

I think that you mean that the appearance of the checkbox changes with the zoom level? If so, then vaitions in appearance are due to the rendering capabilities of the PDF viewer.   Acrobat does not always render fields perfectly sized and lined up when zoomed out (due to rounding errors when calculating the pixel positions), but your screen shot looks particularly bad. Is this Acrobat?     ... View more

This is a very rudimentary PDF generated from Crystal Reports.  There aren't any form fields on this PDF.

Here's a specific explanation on how to show/hide fields: https://www.pdfscripting.com/public/Hiding-and-Showing-Form-Fields.cfm   And yes there is a way to generate and export a list of fields and their properties, but it's not a feature of Acrobat. You need a script for it.    See the first tool on this list of free tools:  "Find Required Fields" https://www.pdfscripting.com/public/Free_Acrobat_Automation_Tools.cfm   Here's an example of some code you could run from the console window.    var strReport = ""; for(var i=0;i<this.numFields;i++) { strReport += this.getNthFieldName(i) + "\n"; } this.createDataObject("FieldNameList.txt", strReport);   This short script collects all field names into a variable named strReport, and then uses it to create a text file attachment to the current PDF.    ...

Nope, the forum is mostly user to user, although there are a few Adobe employees answering.   I would not hold out hope for a solution.  Adobe is comfortable going for years without fixing bugs.

- Start the app. - Navigate to and open pdf - Click in editable fields in pdf - Done! By @christoffer_4850 That is exactly how it is supposed to work.  So I did a little testing, and I can in fact, edit forms on my Android phone with the mobile Acrobat Reader.  However, if the PDF was saved to the cloud by creating a shared link, the PDF could not be edited until a copy was created.  But if it was saved to the Adobe Cloud directly, the field could be edited. So, there is some dependency on how the PDF is made available to the mobile app. I don't know if this is the same issue you're seeing. How are the PDFs being sent to the mobile device?   As for transferring just the data, Yes, that is possible, and there is a wide variety of ways to do it.  How its doen specifically depends on the reqired workflow.    ...

Format or Validation?  Depends on the requirements for the final field value. If this is only for display, then a format script is the only solution. But if the value needs the parentheses, then the Validate (or keystroke) is the only solution.     ... View more

A Calculation script is a poor (and possibly outright dangerous) solution to this issue.  Never use a calculation script to act on the value entered into a field, because it has the potential to cause an infinate loop.    The correct location for such a script is any of the events that are triggered on data entry into the field. In this instance the Validate event is the best choice since it is triggred after the data is being (but not quite) commited to the field.  Keep your original solution and make sure to place the code into the Custom Validation Script for the field.      ...

In the other thread a regular expression was used to test for a an empty field value.  You're current request isn't really all that different. It's just the test that needs to be adjusted.   So you want the text "KY" to uncheck, and all other values to check.  Here's the code to put in the custom "Validate" script on the dropdown:   **Edited to correct coding this.getField("OOS").checkThisBox(0, event.value != "KY");          ...

I agree with KHK, it appears the document control app is corrupting the PDF.   This may be a setting in the DMS, for example it could be related to file compression. Or this could be the result of some kind of malware protection in the DMS.     ... View more
