I've created a text field with format custom keystroke script allowing for only digits. I've used fairly simple regular expression /^\d$/ to accomplish this. However, I would like to have possibility for user to be able to use backspace to delete some of these digits. Now it is not possible for backspace is not allowed keystroke. How do I do that with regular expression? I found that \b should match the backspace but I cannot figure out how to put it in a regular expression definition so it works.Many thanks,Vladan

I've been looking into stamps for quite awhile now. I have successfully made a few. At present, I'm playing around with "dynamic stamps" and had some success with creating a few of them as well. I've used the app.response which were easy to create. I was successful with my first attempt. But, now I want to create the type of stamps that have a pop open interface which asks questions and some have check boxes and drop downs. I haven't found much on the internet as far as tutorials are concerned. I have looked into Thom Parker's book but Dimitri emailed back saying the book only covers very basic types of stamps and would not really be much of a help to me. I found this other website that can provide the types of stamps I talking about but they charge for them and which are secured and do not allow someone to edit. After spending a tremendous amount time searching the internet I found only one script. So I copy and pasted it into a pdf of my own to play around with it. To my surprise it

I have this one text field I want the user to enter Yes or No. To save time is there a javascript to allow Yes to be entered when they just type in y or n so then No would get populated in the same field. I use to have a drop down, but I don't want to use that option. Does anyone know a little javascript that would enable me to do this? Thanks.

Hello,I do have a form and I would like to do a simple calculation of a fields... here is what I have coded that does not work.event.("Balance.0").value = this.getField("Credited.0").value - this.getField("Debited.0").value - this.getField("AmtDistributed.0").value;Balance.0 is a read only field, when I enter number in Credited.0, Debite4d.0 or AmtDistribute.0 still Balance.0 stays blank.What I am doing wrong?Regards,Jeff P.

Hello friends, I have a sales form and fields with expirations every 7 days, I wanted to know how it can be done to enter the first due date and that the following installments are completed automatically. Thank you.

I have done so much searching that my mind is turning to mush, so I hope what I am about to ask makes sense. Here is the form I am working with. As you can probably guess, I am adding everything from contracted hours to fully licensed into the total pay rate at the bottom. All of these fields have values that are calculated based on other actions/entries. Now, I have been asked to include a place for a negotiated rate that people can type in their own answer, but I still need this rate to calculate in the total pay rate without adding to the originally contracted rate. Does that make sense? I need one of two things to happen: Either when the negotiated base box is checked, the contracted hours (45) becomes zero. Or when I add the percentages, I can somehow eliminate the value of the base rate if there is a value in the negotiated rate. Thank you for any help!

I have a form that is displaying two options, and I need to make it more obvious which one they are selecting. So if they select option A (box) I need text field A to have a border color. If they select checkbox B, I need text field B to have the border color. I've tried running mouseup actions on the boxes but I must be doing something wrong. I am still learning JS..Thanks!

Hey everyone, been scouring the net and can't get my hands on this. Hoping you can helpIn Acrobat, I need to automatically press a button after the user has made a selection from a drop menu.OR, if it's easier - I need to show a message to the user if they select a different option in Dropdown #8 than they did in DropDown #2 - Both drop menus have the same values to choose from, but we can't automate them to be the same. The user is supposed to select the same answer but if they don't, we need to ask them if they are sure.I've got the script to compare the fields in a button, so if I can just get the button to be pressed automatically after they select something in Dropdown menu #8, that'd be great.Thanks in advance for any help B.

In this field I would like to type in, let's say, 33 and what I would like to show as a result would be, 3' x 3'. Or, if I enter any two digit number the field results would be in feet x feet. Figuring this out is a bit perplexing because I'm talking about a whole numbers and how would I break the number apart, put an x (for by) in between, and show the results in the same field. And, notice the spacing of the results. I have this script and was playing around with it. I got it to put the ' marks in the results. I have to type in the number like this - 3.3. The result is 3'3'. It's close but no cigar. Is it possible to have the field return the results the way I want? Here's the javascript I'm playing around with:event.value=this.getField("Footings1").value.toFixed(2).replace(".","' ").replace(/.$/,"' ");

I have Adobe Pro 11I want to split a large Pdf file 2550 pages into multiple files with JavaScript.The text '"Subtotal" only exists on these divider pages, so it can be used to identify where to split the document.How easy would it be to create some javascript to run in an action which would do the following:1. Identify text "Subtotal"2. Split document at that point, saving the pages from current page (typically 5, though not always) up to page before next instance of "Subtotal"Can this be done, or has it been done already? Thanks

How can I get the field called Net After Tax to show the sum of Net x Tax (which is a %) and not just what the tax is?

I need to be able to create an aspect to then sign a pdf from code, which is JS

I created a field to enter a number like this, 1 5/8 or 1 7/8 to 2 7/8 etc. I would like to not have to type in the " mark every time. I have this javascript that does what I want, but to whole numbers not fractions. Take a look a this script and perhaps it can be modified to get the job done.my code (in the Custom Format)AFNumber_Format(0,0,0,0,"\''",false);I''ve tried to play around with it a little bit but couldn't get it. If you know, please let me know? Thanks.

I have created an interactive calculator for a few of our price list documents. To do so, I have to copy/paste the calculator created in PDF to the PDF documents. I would like to see if there is a way to do it directly from the InDesign document so it will save me time. I have 9 documents to do this to. Here is a link to what we are using: https://logiflex.ca/medias/documents/graphics-test-calculator.pdfIt was suggested that I ask this forum if there is a solution.

Hello,i want to call a numeric value from an api i created and assign it somewhere or compare it to other values. is this possible in pdf?

I am not very familiar with javascript.  I would like to copy text from one set of fields to another in a pdf (using Acrobat DC) based on the whether a checkbox has been checked or not (i.e., if checked box value = true, etc.).  How can I do this using javascript as an action for the checkbox field?  Assume the checkbox field name is check_yesno.  If it is checked (value is true) then I want to copy an address from one field on the form to another.   As an example, one of the fields I want to copy is address_main to be copied to address_secondary if the checkbox has been checked.  Any help with this would be appreciated.

Hello everyone!I need a little help. I have been following the advice in the forum located here -How do you spawn a template from a button on an already spawned template and rename the field on it? (JavaScript)I have used the advice in the forum and had great results. Recently the buttons have behaved erratically. (new update?)The add code presented does a brilliant job of insuring the add page button is the last button to be displayed therefore eliminating the possibility of linked fields -this.getField("Button1").display=display.noPrint;var a = this.getTemplate("newpage");a.spawn({nPage: pageNum + 1, bRename: true, bOverlay: false}); this.getField("Button1").display=display.hidden;event.target.display=display.hidden;this.pageNum=this.pageNum+1;however the delete button code has given me errors. (bad parameter)  Additionally depending on where i hit the delete button will cause the spawn button to re appear not as the last button on the last page. It will be in addition to the sp
