Questions

when there are several fields required that are not filled out, how can i either list in the alert the fields and / or take the user to the first required field with a focus?

In other words, if I create a catalog file, can I read that catalog file via a Python, C#, Java or program in a different language and return a list of files to the user that contain the person or place name searched for? This would allow us to make our archive of PDF files searchable on a web site. We do not want Google to search these files, they are not publicly available. Users need to log into the web site before they will be allowed to search and download PDF files matching their criteria. Also, it would be great if the search would not just return the file name, but some context of each match. Is there something like this? If even just the indexes of the PDFs are accessible via API, it might be possible to use a library like BeautifulSoup to satisfy this need.

Right now I have the following script in my form://</ACRO_script>//</AcroForm>//<AcroForm>//<ACRO_source>AreaDuesQty:Calculate</ACRO_source>//<ACRO_script>/*********** belongs to: AcroForm:AreaDuesQty:Calculate ***********/var A = +this.getField("ChptTotQty").value;var B = +this.getField("AffTotQty").value;if( A > 0 ) event.value = A + B;else event.value = "";It works great as long as there is a number in the "ChptTotQty" But, I want it to give me a number whether there is a number in "ChptTotQty" or "AffTotQty" field. Is there a way to make "if ( A > 0 ) event.value = A + B;"  Into "if ( A > 0 ) or ( B > 0 ) event.value = A + B;"Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank You

After entering a Custom Keystroke Script in the edit box, the script works but it disappears from the edit box when revisiting the format properties.It is also not shown in the "Edit All Scripts" lists of scripts.Even after saving the file and opening it again, the script is gone but still works.Using Acrobat Pro DC 2019.012.20035Note: There is no Custom Format Script; only a Custom Keystroke Script.How can I view the Custom Keystroke Script again and update it?Thanks

Hello guys!I tried finding a solution for this over the past 2 weeks, but I didn't come to a reasonable conclusion.Let me describe what I have and what I need to do: I have a pdf form which gets filled by the staff at my office and I need a button to save (silently if needed) the file based on different text field values (numbers and letters), in the same folder as the original form. It would be nice to flatten everything before so people won't tamper with what was filled, but that is another discussion.This being said, during research on the forums, I saw that the saving function of pdf's is not straightforward (meets the purpose of pdf, of course) and I need 2 things:- a script which I would place in the folder that I use and/or in the install directory of Adobe Acrobat- the script that goes in the button itself.I already saw that people have tackled various varieties of this issue (either same folder or field based save as), but not both at the same time. I tried putting together so

Hi,I created a custom action which executes a javascript script on selected files.Rather than starting the action from Acrobat and selecting the files, I would like to select them in Windows Explorer and launch the action through a context menu item (like we do with the default "Combine files" item).Is it possible to create a right-click menu entry which tells Acrobat to use the selected files for a given custom action?Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello everyone,I've come across some tricky issue while accessing the values of my fomular fields.

I am new to both PDF form and JavaScript, so I apologize if this question seems obvious, or isn't worded effectively.I'm attempting to create a custom text field which will calculate the user's "Star Wars Galactic Birth Year" as part of a PDF form. Basically, type in your age, and it will spit out your "birth year", appended with BBY or ABY depending on if the number is positive or negative. (35ABY acting as the "current" year, in this example.) Here's the custom script I cobbled together. ("Age" is the name of the field, as I'm sure you could surmise.)event.value = Math.abs(a) + bvar a = (35 - this.getField("Age").value)if (a = -integer) { var b = 'BBY' } else if (a = +integer) { var b = 'ABY' } else if (a = 0) { var b = 'BBY' }I've never used JavaScript before, so I assume am making some kind of very basic mistake. The calculation doesn't run consistently, and it never seems to allow the text field to be left empty. The math seems to get wonkier with each attempt. Is there a way to h

First, I may not be using the correct terminology. I want to have the password displayed as asterisks as it is being entered—that's what I'm calling "hashed."try67 gave me an excellent, simple script to protect the text field in question with a password, but it doesn't conceal the password with asterisks while it's being input (I didn't think to ask for that). I don't know anything about sql or php, so I'm hoping there is a simple line or three of js that can do this for me. Here's what I have so far:The 'Score' field is the one in question, and here is the line of code try67​ was kind enough to provide and which works just fine:event.rc = (app.response("Enter the password:","","")=="1234"); //where "1234" is the password.This is placed as a custom validation script in the field's properties modal.When the js alert window pops up, it automatically places the cursor in the password entry field, which is great (another script I tried didn't), but when I enter the password, the characters

So, I have this file with 20 something pages in it. I wrote some code to split the files into different individual files based on a bunch of file names I have put in an excel spreadsheet (like page 1 is called file XXX and page 2 is called file YYY). It worked great for a good number of the files I have, but apparently, it did not work for all files. What troubles me is that, I have the following two lines in the code. which writes to the immediate console based on the save operation, and all of these operations showed as successful. Not all the files show up in file explorer (windows) after the save. Is this a bug within the PDDoc.save function? Or is there something I missed that is causing this? If NewPDF.Save(PDSaveLinearized, WritePath & sh.Cells(StartRow + j - 1, i).Value & ".pdf") Then    Debug.Print sh.Cells(StartRow + j - 1, i).Value & " Success"Else    Debug.Print sh.Cells(StartRow + j - 1, i).Value & " Failed"End IfI initially th

I currently open each file, open the js console, and type the code for each file. I have 100+ files and it is quite cumbersome.

I created a form that has 3 text fields to enter in a long description. I was able to find a script to autotab onto the next text field after a character limit is reached, but now words get cut off in the middle if the character limit is reached. Is there a way to automatically move a word to the next line if it gets cut off due to the character limit?This is what it looks like now:Line 1: "This is a long sentence to demonstrLine 2: "ate." I want it to act like this:Line 1: "This is a long sentence to Line 2: "demonstrate."

I have tried looking thru all the discussions and I just have not found the right answer to my question. Right now I have "hidden" text boxes that have custom calculations in order to simplify the other calculations. Then I have those text box engineering calculations also auto fill into a diagram I have on the same page. However I am having a hard time having the diagram populate with the correct numbers unless I create a fake "check box". Then it will trigger a change in the numbers. Same issue comes into play when we decide to change numbers in any of the text boxes without clearing the form completely.I have Adobe Acrobat Pro DC version 2019 and I have not found the "set custom calculation order".

I have a form that is filled out by users to set up their web accounts.There is a section on the form that asks for their preferred username. The username must be between 8-18 characters, contain one number and cannot contain special characters.For the 8-18 characters requirement, I put an 18 character limit under the Options tab and also entered the below Format Script:var minLength = 8; // the minimum number of digits the user should entervar maxLength = 18; // the maximum number of digits the user should enterevent.rc = true;if (event.value && (event.value.length<minLength || event.value.length>maxLength)) {    app.alert("Please enter between " + minLength + " and " + maxLength  + " characters.");    event.rc = false;}To prevent special characters from being entered, I entered the below Keystroke Script:event.change = event.change.replace(/[^0-9a-zA-Z]/gim,"") ;I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what Format/Validation Scr

There is a section of my form that asks for a person's date of birth. I would like for the field to allow the date of birth to be entered only in the following formats:1. m/d/yyyy2. m/d/yyThe Date Format under Text Field Properties only allows for one to be selected and I was wondering if there was any way to allow for multiple? I would prefer that the date of birth is displayed showing 4 digits for the year but I do not want it to give an error and cause any frustration if it's entered using only 2 digits for the year.

Meine Sammelmappe hat zur Zeit 4 Dokumente. Jedes Dokument hat einen eigenen Mailbutton mit folgendem Inhalt.this.mailDoc(true,"messen@lkw.li", "", "", "Apparatemeldung");Nun möchte ich noch den Script ergänzen, damit nur das gewählte Dokument gesendet wird. Also nicht die gesamte Sammelmappe. Gibt es eine automatisierte Lösung?Vielen Dank!
