True, but it's important to also understand that Read-Only only really applies to people with Reader. Anyone with Acrobat (or any other PDF editor) can easily remove that setting, or change the value in other ways (importing data into the form through a data file; using a script; etc.). ...

I assume all the pages are the same. If so, you can create a text field with the number for each page of the file. Each field will have to have a unique name, though, so you can't use the Duplicate Across Pages command for this. This can be achieved using a custom-made script, or you could use a script to duplicate a single page with unique values each time, such as this (paid-for) tool I've developed exactly for such tasks: https://www.try67.com/tool/acrobat-create-copies-with-unique-codes   ...

Form fields use scripts in a million ways, but if that's the only code in your file, I guess it could be an issue... In that case I would remove all form fields altogether, to avoid issues. Even when you set a field's Format to Number instead of None a script is used. ... View more

Be careful of using this function. If you corrupt the XML structure the form fields in the file can become unusable, and there's no easy way to fix it. The direct answer is no, but there are ways around it. You can use a script to set the values of a drop-down field, and then edit that code in Excel (or some other editor). Another option is to use a script to import/export the values directly from the drop-down to a text file, which you could then edit in Excel. The latter can be achieved using this (paid-for) tool I've developed: https://www.try67.com/tool/acrobat-import-items-from-a-text-file-to-a-combo-box-or-list-field   ... View more

This is not a trivial task. You would need to write a script that iterates over all the data fields in the file, collect their data into an array, sorts that array (based on the person's name) and then populate the "summary" fields with that data. It can either be automatic (by connecting it to the Calculation event of a field), or it can be triggered by pressing a button. The former is easier for the user, but might cause the file to lag, as it will update each time you change the value of any field in the file.   If you're interested in hiring a professional to create it for you, feel free to contact me privately by clicking my user-name and then on the blue "Message" button.   PS.

- Do the reverse. The copy fields should have a script under the Calculate tab, like this (assuming the name of the original field is "Algemene-informatie_beursnaam"): event.value = this.getField("Algemene-informatie_beursnaam").value; - You need to be more specific, but generally this is done using a custom calculation script as well, which collects the data from the other fields in the file and creates a single string from it. - If the Sum doesn't work check the JS Console for errors, as well as the fields calculation order.

You can do it using the Action Wizard in Acrobat Pro. Go to Tools - Action Wizard and create a new Action. Add to it the Insert Pages command and then select the file. In the Properties dialog select to add it after the last page:   Make sure to untick the "Prompt User" checkbox, as well. Then add a Save command, and you're done! You can now run this Action on your files and it will add the file you selected to all of them, as the last page in each file. ... View more

Ja, dat is geen probleem! 🙂   There's no such method as getFieldNames, though. You probably got it off some kind of AI model that invented it. To access all the fields in a file use the following:   for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) { var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i); var f = this.getField(fname); if (f==null) continue; // do something with this field }   I did that, and it worked fine. It edited 192 "Kosten" fields and 140 "Datum" fields. I would recommend adding a command to switch off calculations before running it, though. Add this before your code: this.calculate = false; And this at the end of it: this.calculate = true; ... View more
