I know how to develop Windows Application in Visual Studio to to control Adobe Acrobat and PDF Documents using OLE Automation.I am referring to page 21 in this guide:https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/iac_developer_guide.pdf I have done that many times in the past and the result was 100% successful.I need to do the same but using Java and Eclipse.My ultimate objective is to be able to extract text from a flattened PDF which is an appraisal form. So the Form has Fields and Values in a flattened PDF, and it follows a strict and fixed layout.So, I want to write a Windows Desktop Application that will open a flattened PDF, find the field caption, and jump to the field value, extract the text. I've done some research, and so far I realized that I have to use the Doc method "getPageNthWord()" using OLE JSObject in Java.I was able to use this code sample in the console window to extract the text of the current page:var len = this.getPageNumWords(this.pageNum);var tx

Hello board !I’m new over there and after spending some times on this board I wasn’t able to find my answers. I’m building a PDF designed to be a form to fill on a tablet (iPad or Android) to make contract agreement for a bike rental company.The goal is to save actions & time as much as possible to complet the form.The form contain personal info to fill, including some dates and check box, and a handwritten signature on the end.The final action is to send the contract to the customer by mail, using the value  he put in the mail text field.I’m very close from the result I want but I stuck for 2 things :I wish being able the trigger the signature window when the customer hit the signature box. For now, hitting the signature box is opening a textfield inside even when it’s set to « Signature » or « Signature box » field. So I have to do it manualy with the button « Sign », create a new signature, uncheck « Save signature » button, let the customer sign then put the signature on t

First off let me begin by saying I am a newbie at JAVA. I have some DBase knowledge from years ago so somethings in JAVA are not foreign to me. My question is... I have a pdf form where i want to runs a calculation script based on a check box. So, I check a box and it runs a script in another field name. I have been searching the web and found some similar scripts but they don't do what I want. Thanks in advance for your help.This one works filling in the value in the same fieldvar nFOOTAGE = this.getField("FOOTAGE").value;if(( nFOOTAGE >= 1 ) && ( nFOOTAGE <= 1500 ))event.value = 250;else if(( nFOOTAGE >= 1501 ) && ( nFOOTAGE <= 2000 )) event.value = 300;else if(( nFOOTAGE >= 2001 ) && ( nFOOTAGE <= 2500 ))event.value = 325;else if(( nFOOTAGE >= 2501 ) && ( nFOOTAGE <= 3000 ))event.value = 350;else if(( nFOOTAGE >= 3001 ) && ( nFOOTAGE <= 3500 ))event.value = 375;else if(( nFOOTAGE >= 3501 ) && ( nFOOTAGE

I am trying to write script to apply a generate score based on selected text values in a drop down list. So for a field named "Likelihood" the values would be as follows -- Low; Low to Moderate; Moderate; Moderate to High; High.  I want to produce a score based on each rating --Low=1Low to Mod=2Mod=3Mod to High=4High=5I have been able to write the script for the inverse where a numerical selection produces the text rating.  But I need the opposite of that.var v = this.getField("Dropdown1").value;if (v=="") event.value = "";else {     v = Number(v);     if (v<2) event.value = "Low";     else if (v<3) event.value = "Low to Moderate";     else if (v<4) event.value = "Moderate";     else if (v<5) event.value = "Moderate to High";     else if (v<6) event.value = "High";}

I have a text field which at times is hidden. But, when I select it to be visible from the popMenu list it becomes visible (no problem there) but the cursor within the text field isn't visible, I have to click inside the text field to see it. What I would like to happen is to have the cursor visible when I choose to show that text field and not have to click inside the field. Is there a javascript that will enable the cursor to be visible as well as the field itself?

     I need to Bates Stamp a large number of documents (upwards of 50000) for my law office and the attorneys I am working with need to be able to see both the Bates range and file name for each document in the file name [e.g. (25642-25644) Housing Information.pdf]. I have thus far been Bates stamping a group of files in a folder and then adding the range to the beginning of each file manually and individually and am currently around the 25000 mark which has taken multiple days to reach. Looking at the output options for Bates stamping however, I noticed that there is an option to either "replace file names with starting and ending Bates Number (e.g. 000100-000115.pdf)" or "Add to original file names" with the ability to insert something before or after a file name for the selected files.      My question pertains to whether I can sort of blend these features and be able to Bates Number a group of documents whilst simultaneously inserting the ran

I have made a form in Indesign and set a check box as 'required'. However the form is allowing it to be submitted without this box checked.I have looked at the form in Acrobat and the field is set as 'required'.How can I change this?

Hello all,I'm trying something very simple (at least, it seem like it should be simple!) but I can't seem to get it to work.I'm running Pro DC.I have a form on a pdf with the file name "front.jpg", which contains ten rows of ten square text fields (100 in total). They are labelled Front_A1, Front_A2, Front_A3...Front_A10, then Front_B1, Front_B2, Front_B3...Front_B10etc, up to Front_J10.They are all set with the fillcolor to white (from the colorpicker wheel...). I need them to change their background color to black when the user clicks into the field. If the user then clicks in the field a second time, I want the background colour to return to white.There is also a second pdf that is attached to the first, entitled back.pdf. contains 100 identical fields, but the horizontal order is reversed, so they go from Front_A10 down to Front_A1, as you read from left to right, and so on down the page.Then I want to set up a button on the page, that will do the following actions:1) Check the fil

This is an extension of a previously answered question:PREVIOUS THREAD:I am using a calculation script to calculate age from a DOB field. It works just fine for the calculation and I can manipulate it to calc either in months or years. The problem is I want to have any ages < 1 year old to show the age in months and ages > 1 year old to show the age in years. Hopefully that makes sense. I have been searching through the existing threads and can't seem to find anything to help this specific need. If there a way to do this - maybe an additional IF clause? Here is my current calculation script.PREVIOUS CORRECT ANSWER:event.value = "";var dobValue = getField("Kid.DOB").value;if (dobValue!="") {var dob = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy", dobValue);var today = new Date();var age = today.getTime() - dob.getTime();// compute age in millisecondsvar nAgeMilliseconds = today.getTime() - dob.getTime();var nAgeYears = ( age / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365.2425) - 0.005);if(nAgeYears < 1){// Change to

Hi all,maybe the answer to my question is so obvious, that I just can't find it, I don't know. So here I am, hoping for some help.I programmatically like to add annotations. I already know how to do that. I started with the JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference and a Guide called Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript.Question in short: How can i determine the correct rect size of the freetext annotation, so that the whole text i place in there is shown? Is there a function to calculate the width and heigth of multiline or single line Text?Example:var annot = this.addAnnot({page: 0,type: "FreeText",textFont: font.Helv,textSize: 10,rect: [200, 300, 200+200, 300+3*12],contents: "Line1!\nLonger Line 2!\nReeeaaaaalllyyyy loooooong Line3!",author: "Me",width: 1,alignment: 0 });I already know how to get the quads from Words inside the document. So I thought I add a new page, write the text that should appear in the annotation, get the quads, transform to rect, delete the page and ha

I have a form with several variables created from splitting data from another numeric field.  The goal is to take even numbered places and multiply by 2 and odd numbers by 1. So, a number 5578; position 1 is 5 with 1 being an odd number would multiply by 1 for a variable value equaling 5. Position 2 is also 5, 2 being even would multiply by 2 equaling 10, and so on. At the end of the say I want to take all the equated numbers and add them together as follows based on the example: 5+1+0+7+1+6; so the variables that result in a double digit would need to split into single characters like I am doing with the original field value. I don't have any issue doing this in straight js on a web page, but I am not sure how this is done in Acrobat everything I have tried throws an error.  Root question, how do I split a 2 digit variable into 2 separate variables?The I have broken my field value out into vars such as digi1, digi2, digi3, and digi4.In js on a webpage I can have the followin

Hello! I need help with a PDF form. I use Acrobat PRO DC. (hope i'm clear, english is not my first language, sorry!) I have a PDF with a table of contents, and the rest of the pages (i created templates with them) are hidden. When i click on a radio button in the table of contents, only the concerned page shows, but it doesn't go to the page. I want it to go to that page.I tried with the preset in Acrobat, but it doesn't work. For example, i write to go to page 4, but when the pages hide and then show again, it replaces what i wrote with page 1... I need a javascript that would tell "go to the template "XXXX". Is it possible? Or maybe "go to last page". Can somebody help me? Thanks!

Hi,I have a script running but I am running into an issue between using the text fields and checkbox.Text1 has a default value of 15, this is multiplied by Text2 which the user can set (say for this example 6) + the value set to the checkbox (say 50). When the Text2 and the checkbox are empty the Total field is displaying "0Off" and if I fill in Text2 with 6 (15*6=90) it will show 90Off and with the checkbox finally checked it then displays the total of 140or if I change the Total field format to "number" I get an error message whenever one of the fields changes "The value entered does not match the format of the field [ Total ]" and does not 0 back out when the Text2 or checkbox are emptied again.Here is the code I am putting into the Total field for reference. event.value = ( this.getField("Text1").value * this.getField("Text2").value ) + this.getField("checkbox").value;

Can anyone help, i have very limited Javascript knowledge. I am setting up a form, with two check boxes as below. When NO is selected then YES is unselected, but also the text fields below to be hidden and when Yes is selected then NO to be unselected and the text fields to be visble.I can either get the two check boxes to work. or the No to hide the fields, but not both.Is anyone able to help.

So, I am trying to figure out how to get code to run within the console. It seems like for simple things like 1+2 it works but any functions I have written as a document JS does not work. What am I missing? For reference, I am splitting some files...function Split() {   var totalPages;   var i;   var arrNames = [ "SOME ARRAY HERE" ];   var targetPath  = "/C/Users/SOMEPATH/";   totalPages = this.numPages;    try { for (i = 0; i  < totalPages; i++)          this.extractPages({            nStart: i,            cPath: targetPath +arrNames + ".pdf"         });         console.println(targetPath +arrNames + ".pdf");   } catch (e) {       console.println("Abort

Hi,Is it possible to detect in an Adobe Plugin if the active document being opened displays/has the (SECURED) flag set?If so, how would we go about checking the status of this flag?

Hi,Does anyone know if it's possible to check within an Adobe plug-in if the content of the selected document has changed? (e.g. Via Adobe Acrobat).Essentially I want to be able to say:-if document content changed, save using PDDocSaveWithParams (as it needs to save to a different folder etc..)-else save using AVDocDoSave*This is to get around an issue with using PDDocSaveWithParams  with protected/secured documents.

Hello,  I wonder if anyone could please point me in the right direction of how to achieve the following:Acrobat DCI have a drop-down box which contains five items.  I have managed to change the colour of the text for each item when selected within the drop-down box.  What I would really like to do is to change the background colour of 5 different text fields as well.  So selecting item 1 turns the text red in the drop-down and also makes the background colour of a text field red.  selecting item 2 makes the text turn blue in the drop-down and also makes the background of an additional text field blue.  And so forth...  No selection means the colour is transparent.I cannot get my head around this.  If anyone could please point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks in advance for everyone's help. I'm using Pro 11.I'm creating a document template where I need certain textboxes to change based on whether a specific box contains certain text, but where there is still other text in the box. For example, if the primary textbox contains "2019-PR-123" I would like a separate box to return "Product", but if the box contains "2019-LM-123" I would like the separate box to return "Labor". But I want the return values to be only based on whether the primary box contains the "PR" or "LM" irrespective of what the other numbers are.I've searched and searched and can't seem to find a simple way to do this. And I'm easily able to achieve the result of the primary textbox contains only the "PR" or "LM" using an if/then based on the value of the primary box, but I need it to do an if/then based not on the value of the box but whether the box includes certain text within the large text.

hello. I have integrated custom plugins with Adobe Acrobat DC . but these plugins are available in the Acrobat DC of my local system. In order to share them with the third party/end-user, we thought of integrating these Acrobat plugins to Adobe Document Cloud so a third party can access them from cloud. How can that be done???
