Questions

I am a complete beginner.This is a very rudimentary question.I am creating a slightly spreadsheet-like form.Objectize each field as follows. Intuitively, A, B and C are vertical columns.Think of 12345 as a row. var A1 = this.getField("A_1"); var A2 = this.getField("A_2"); var A3 = this.getField("A_3"); var A4 = this.getField("A_4"); var A5 = this.getField("A_5"); var B1 = this.getField("B_1"); var B2 = this.getField("B_2"); var B3 = this.getField("B_3"); var B4 = this.getField("B_4"); var B5 = this.getField("B_5"); var C1 = this.getField("C_1"); var C2 = this.getField("C_2"); var C3 = this.getField("C_3"); var C4 = this.getField("C_4"); var C5 = this.getField("C_5"); I am trying to copy the value entered in the specified C field to B based on the value entered in A. Each row has a button, and the following JavaScript is embedded in the button.Very simple code. if(A1.value == 3000){B1.value = C1.value;}if(A1.value == 6000){B1.value = C2.value;}if(A1.va

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. It was working fine on Windows 8 on my previous laptop. I have just upgraded to a new laptop with Windows 10 Home Edition, and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional is asking me to reactivate. The online reactivation options do not seem to work. The support desk people suggested that 8 won't work anymore and that I need to license a new product. What's the story?

I have scoured the forums and tried several different scripts and adapted them for my use successfully but I cannot seem to get this action for my checkbox on my form to work. I am editing and updating a PDF form.I have a checkbox named cbApproval.When this box is checked, I would like the text field below it named ApprovalOnlyStatement to appear with the sentence "APPROVAL ONLY" If the box is not checked, the text box should disappear and the user will need to move on to type in a justification in a larger text field underneath - probably not relevant information for this. All I want is for the sentence to appear when the box is checked.  Help?Thank you

Hi, As a newbie, I'm stuck.  This is as far as I could get in setting up a "Done" button to lock all the fields as read only. for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++){if (app.alert({nType:2,nIcon:2,cMsg:"This will lock the document for printing and email submission. Are you sure you want to continue?"})==4){this.getField(getNthFieldName(i)).readonly=true;}else{}} The pop up works, but the script hangs up at the pop up window and I have to Force Quit the app.  I can get the fields to set to read only without the pop up, however the folks using this form will need to understand the consquences. of selecting the "Done" button.

Hello - I have searched the web for many hours looking for a solution on being able to extract pages from using a key word (instead of typing individual page numbers).  I even called Adobe Sales to ask if Adobe CS would work and they assured me it would but I would need the pro version.  So I downloaded - and it didn't - I called customer support and they said it wouldn't work - I recalled the sales group and they confirmed it wouldn't work now.  I am not saying this to complain, only to say that I have tried really hard to get this questions answered so I am hoping someone in the forums will be able to help... please!I have a 2000 page document and need to do a number of different "extractions" of different pages based on key words present.  If there is an automatic way I can do this, I would be very grateful if someone could help impart their wisdom on my:-).If there is a 3rd party software I can buy, I am happy to do that too (I of course started with looking at

Writing Acrobat plug-ins. There are callbacks available for picking up keystrokes in a plug-in; for a page view, when an annotation, a selection or tool is active. I am interesting in providing a "universal" keystroke, for keyboard shortcuts even when no document is open. I have reports that some plug-ins can do this.  Any ideas or hints?

A friend and I are working on an accounting project. My friends dad set up an electronic PDF sheet that is supposed to automatically calculate totals and put them in the corresponding blanks/cells. My friend uses a Dell laptop and the PDF automatically does the math for him, but when I use Adobe Acrobat on my IPad Mini 1, Adobe does not automatically do the calculations. How do I fix this? Need an answer ASAP!

Greetings all!I have a form which contains a series of radio button groups which, when selected, will generate a total score in a textbox based on which buttons are selected. I am looking for the specific functionality of having the total textbox hidden until a button from each group has been selected, rather than the total box showing a running tally as a selection is made in each group. Basically, I have a textbox: "Total" which will be calculated by the points earned in Groups 1, 2, 3, & 4. Currently, when no buttons are selected, the Total field displays "0". When a selection of "5" is made in Group 1, the Total field now displays "5". What I want is for the Total field to remain hidden until a button has been checked in Groups 1, 2, 3, & 4. I believe the solution to my question involves writing JavaScript in either the Calculate or Validate tab in the "Total" textbox. I have no experience with JavaScript and all forums I've found up to this point don't

In the 2020 version of Acrobat DC, is there a way to automate deleting all form fields in the PDF? I looked at Action Wizard and it doesn't look like you can use it to do this. I can't write JavaScript. Here is how I manually do this for each PDF.Open the PDF.In the PDF, select Tools > Prepare Form.In the Fields pane, change the sort order to Alphabetical order. (You can't do the next step in the default Tab order.)Select all the fields in the list by selecting the first field, hold down Shift, and then select the last field.Right-click the selection and then click Delete.Save the PDF.I would like to repeat this process for an entire folder of files. (I am deleting "buttons" that use the form field to perform an action. If I use Redact > Remove Hidden Information and select "Form fields" and then execute, it deletes the field's entry from the PDF but leaves behind the button. When I perform the above procedure it deletes both the field and the button.) Any help will be

Hi Everyone, After spending several hours troubleshooting this issue with support, they've suggested I reach out to the support community as you many collectively be able to help me resolve this issue. I've created pdf documents in Pro DC with editable image and text fields. I need the images for the image fields to have a transparent background which means png files are the mandatory image files for most of my editable pdf documents.  When I test these documents in Pro DC I use png image files, which work perfectly. However, when I open the document to test it in Reader, (which is what my customer would use to populate the image and text fields), the png files are not only the wrong size, but they have a strange background to them. (See images below that show how the document looks with a png file in Pro DC and then what it looks like with the same png image file placed in the same image field of Reader. ) As you can see, there seems to be some variable changing when lo

Hello everyone,  I am very new at using Adobe Acrobat and I would need a bit of help for something I'd like to implement.I created a basic form to be filled by different people, at different time. In order to differenciate each form with a number, I created a field that generate a number constantly growing (thanks to new date().get time() ).Now that this is done, I would like to add a simple feature which would offer a new name to the PDF when the user save it after fulfilling it. To be perfectly clear, this is the scheme:- I fulfill the form- I want to Save it as a new document on my computer- I click on "Save As..." in the menu- At this point I select the destination of the forms- One I have choosen the destination, I need to enter a name. I would like the name proposal to be automatically linked to the number generated in the PDF. I would like to create something like: Save As ("Carte cadeau -" & this.getField.data) Does anyone knows how to implement suc

Hi, please I have been searching for how to do the following but I have not been able to get any workable answer for the topic below, I have a field with its description by the side of it,Now, I want the field description, which is by the side of it, to be a dropdown list, with selectable options, such that once a particular option of description is selected, it will affect the input result on the main field beside it. For Example: I have a list of:| 1. Discount by amount| 2. Discount by percentage| 3. Outstanding amount. If I select Discount by amount from the dropdown list as the description by the side of the text field; any amount I entered in the text field would be the discounted amount which will affect the “Due Amount” under it, by subtracting that entered discount amount from the “Due Amount”, if it is the Discount by percentage I selected on the dropdown as the text field description, any number I entered in the field would the percentage of the discounted amou

Hi,I need to determine if a character is a superscript or subscript. Using the PDWordFinder object, I find all the text on the current page of the document. Each character of this text refers to a specific PDWord object. I tried using the PDWordGetCharacterTypes method to get the attributes of each character, but I did not find the properties of a superscript or subscript among the character attributes. Then I decided that I could find these properties in the PDFont object of the current character. But there I also could not find the necessary properties. I would be grateful for any help.

How do I get this form published? It has simple math scripts inbeded in form fields. several attempts using 1. File > Save as other > Reader extended PDF > enable more tools (includes fill-in and save).
