Questions

I need to place a JavaScript in Document Actions in a PDF form filler I created. I have created several fields that I listed as "required fields" in the form. I was hoping that I could insert a Script that will return a message informing the user that they have not filled out all of the required fields when they try to click Save as or Print. I have the document saved as a read-only. It is my intention that the user will not be able to save a copy or print a copy of the document until they have filled out the required fields.P.S. You would think that it wouldn't be very hard to remember to fill in your address and phone number but here we are.

I know I have seen this post but nothing is as specific as I need it to be and I know I am doing something wrong. I made this form in Word and transferred it over to Acrobat Pro DCIn the drop-down box (Emergency Landing / Crash) I have 3 options. When I pick one, I am trying to get a new fillable PDF form to appear. I have each form needed on the same PDF page. This is one of the forms that I need to "appear" when I click one of the options:So I've Inserted the JS into the Validate area:if (event.value == "Emergency Landing / Crash Form"){this.getField("form1").display = display.visible;this.getField("form2").display = display.hidden;this.getField("form3").display = display.hidden;}else if (event.value == "Incident at Aircraft Destination Form"){this.getField("form2").display = display.visible;this.getField("form1").display = display.hidden;this.getField("form3").display = display.hidden;}else (event.value == "Medical Emergency Form"){this.getField("form1").display = display.hidden;thi

Can someone help me out with this one? I would like to import a text file (which has names, addresses, city, state, etc) into a text field in a pdf doc instead of copying and pasting the info. I've seen similar scripts but for the life of me, cannot find them now. Does anyone know the javascript that will get the job done? I'd like to create a button and when clicked it would show the files on the desktop available to import into the pdf doc text field. I would appreciate an example if you know. Thanks so much.

I have a form field, Zip Code, that I would like to export as text when I export the data onto a CSV file.This information will be uploaded into an access database that already has the zip code field notated as "short text".When I format it as zip code, or zip code + 4, the exported value is a number (leading zeros are dropped).  There doesn't seem to be an option to format it as text, and support was no help. Is there custom formatting script that will allow me to do this?Is there a way of creating another type of field that will allow for text as an option?Thanks!

Hi.  I am new to the forum.I have a simple javascript in a main pdf document (General Forms).  The script creates a device independent path to second document and opens the document using app.openDoc.The script is as follows:str=this.path;FirstStringLength = str.length - 22FirstString = str.substring(0,FirstStringLength);app.openDoc({ cPath: FirstString + "/Test General Forms/Basic Lift Plan Form.pdf", cDest: "Forms TOC" });The script works fine on my personal computers (Windows and Mac).  However, when I try it in a networked office environment it issues the error:NotAllowedError: security settings prevent access to this property or method.App.openDoc: Field General Forms: Mouse Up.The Javascript reference manual does not state any security issues with the openDoc method.Any help?  Please.  Jim

I have been using this script below to select Yes or No to populate text fields. It also works in other ways as well. Well, now I would like to include a tax field using the same script but what it's doing is, it's adding the "1", "2" or "3" inside of the tax rate field. See the script to better understand.Script:if (event.value.toUpperCase()=="1") event.value = ".08";if (event.value.toUpperCase()=="2") event.value = ".095";if (event.value.toUpperCase()=="3") event.value = ".10";What can I do or modify to have the value be entered into the tax rate field as the tax not the "1", "2" or "3"? It's probably very simple but it's beyond me. Can someone please help me out? Thanks.

Is there a way to use a javascript to require additional fields after a signature field has been filled out?I tried inserting the following javascript in the "This script executes when field is signed:"this.getField("Fieldtoberequired").required;

Hi all. I'm relatively new to the whole JavaScript in Adobe Acrobat thing so I'll try to be as concise as possible.Simply put, I have created a dropdown menu named "Banklist" with 2 options "Bank 1" and "Bank 2".When "Bank 1" is selected a second dropdown (named "MCCCODES") appears beside it with a number of codes which based off of the code selection will populate a field with a specific percentage.If "Bank 2" is selected the second dropdown remains hidden.I used the following Validation script and everything works as I had hoped:if(event.value =="Bank 1"){this.getField("MCCCODE").display = display.visible;this.getField("Test1").display = display.visible;}else{this.getField("MCCCODE").display=display.hidden;this.getField("Test1").display=display.hidden;}if(event.value =="Bank 2"){this.getField("Text5test").display = display.visible;}else{this.getField("Text5test").display=display.hidden;}My problem is that if I click on a dropdown in an unrelated area of the form (named Combo Box01 fo

I am creating a form with three checkboxes and several form fields. If the first two boxes are checked, the user needs to complete certain sections of the form before they can print. If the third box is checked, they only need to print the form and do not need to continue filling out the form. I added a print button at the bottom to run a script that if the required fields do not have data, the form will not print. But, how do I eliminate this warning if the user checks box #3? I've tried hiding the fields but I still receive the warning that I need to fill out the required fields even if they are hidden.  This is the script I am using from Try67, which works great for warning the user to fill in the required fields: var emptyFields = [];  for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {      var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));      if (f==null || f.type=="button") continue;      if (f.required && f.valu

I have a job crew form that I have pretty much automated to save myself some time at the end of a job. And as a major part of this improvement my only option known to me to handle in/out time calculations using JavaScript to create a function [Time2Min] to convert the times to calculable values inside the function [TimeDiff] that performs the time difference operation. The code is below:function Round(nValue, nPrecision) {// round a number a given precisionreturn util.printf("%,101." + nPrecision + "f", nValue);} // end roundfunction Time2Min(cFormat, sTime) {sTime = sTime.toLowerCase();// adjust for 12:MM amif( (cFormat == "h:MM tt" || cFormat == "hh:MM tt") && ( (sTime.substr(0, 2) == "12" && sTime.substr(6,1) == 'a') || (sTime.substr(0, 2) == "12" && sTime.substr(5,1) == 'a') ) )    sTime = "00" + sTime.substr(2, sTime.length - 2);// convert a formatted time string to number of minutes since midnight// get time objectvar oTime = util.scand("mm/dd/yy

Currently, I am capturing signatures on an html interface and encoding the signature as a base64 string. Now I would like to decode the base64 string to display either an image or signature on the pdf form itself. Is this possible, and if so how would I do this?

In my scenario, I have a multi page pdf.  There is a page that starts with a specific phrase "Page C".  I need to delete that page, and all other following pages until it reaches another specific phrase "Page D".I'm guessing it would be some kind of javascript in the action wizard.  If so, could anyone help me find something that would work?  Thanks!
