Questions

I am attempting to fill multiple form entries (mostly text boxes, some drop-downs) using a button.The button is correctly resetting the hidden fields which generate the required random numbers, but attempting to change other field values is where it's breaking.I'm using:this.form.elements("Fel_Roll").value=Fel;I've also triedthis.getField("Fel_Roll").value=Fel;Fel is holding the random number and Fell_Roll is the field I want to have it input into IF the button is pressed.I have also attempted it without the reset function, simply using the values currently in the (will be) hidden fields.

I have a document with three dropdowns and I need to populate a text field based on them.One drop down is a description, one is size, and one is the color. I need different combos of these fields to populate a text field with the correct item code.For example: If a user selects "boots" from the first drop down, "7" from the size dropdown, and "blue" from the color drop down ---it should show the item code BB7456 in the item code text field. This item code would also be different if a different size or color was chosen.

I want to be able to type a word in one text field and have several others auto populate with the letters of that word.  For example, I want to type the word "christmas" in the text field "word1" and have a script turn the string into an array and autofill text field "word1a" with the letter "c", "word1b" with the letter "h", etc..Is this possible with the javascript installed in acrobat?  Would the file built in Acrobat DC be able to be filled in by someone else on another computer with only Reader.I know this is possible with javascript, just not sure how to make it work with Acrobat.What I have been trying is (which does not work):var w1=this.getField('word1');var w1a=this.getField('word1a');w1a.value=w1.charAt(0);I have also tried to convert the string into an array, but have not had any luck.  Is this something that would be done in the Document Javascripts or can you do it in the "custom calculations scripts" for the text field.I have been able type each letter in

Several users are having issues with their printing not working in Adobe.  They can Print Word, Excel, but not PDF files from Adobe.  Also the Adobe PDF printer randomly stops working for these same people.  Their computer's acted fine, until we upgraded their professional from X to DC?  Usually stopping and restarting the print spooler will work, reboot will usually get it going again.  BTW, running on Windows 7 Pro.Happens most often if:The user has more than one PDF open.  Sometimes closing all but the one they want to print helps.Finds it interesting that he cannot print a PDF from a shared file location but can go to an internet location with the same file and print it just fine.

Here is the script I am trying to use but i recieve an error message: SyntaxError:missing) after condition 6: at line 7. What am I doing wrong?var RB1 = this.getField("RatingBox1").value;if (RB1 = Exceptional) {    event.value = "4";}else if (RB1 = Very Good) {    event.value = "3";}else if (RB1 = Satisfactory) {    event.value = "2";}else if (RB1 = Marginal) {    event.value = "1";}else if (RB1 = Unsatisfactory) {    event.value = "0";}else if (RB1 = N/A) {    event.value = "0";}if (isNaN(RB1) || RB1 === "") {    event.value = "";}

As you can see on the left, I want to populate those text fields with pre-defined values when a user selects an option. Those value will change depending on the option selected. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Good evening, I am trying to find a way to read lines from a text file within Acrobat Javascript, more specifically, to search for a line among hundreds of lines.I have looked over the Acrobat JS API reference, and I found that import/export text may not be the best idea since we don't use hundreds of text fields in our documents.Any help would be wonderful, thank you!

Im building a spreadsheet for a gaming character sheet and Im having trouble implementing a javascript to do an "if-then command.I have a pulldown list and I need a text field box to refer to which selection was made and then implement one math problem (adding up separate fields) or another.For example under Race Pulldown there is Human or Halfling. If they pick Human then text field box needs to show the total calculation result of text field A+B.

Using an Epson photo flatbed scanner, I can scan and save jobs as JPGs, but when I try to save as a PDF the program shows the scan in progress box for a few seconds, the scanner makes noise, then the progress box closes itself and the scan job fails/is not saved. This only happens when trying to save as a PDF. I contacted Epson and after troubleshooting, they said the issue is not with them, but with the PDF reader (in this case Acrobat) not converting the scan to PDF. Previously, I was able to scan to PDF.I have reinstalled Acrobat but still have the same issue. Is this problem truly with Acrobat? I am on Windows 7/latest version of Acrobat.

Hi there!The ultimate goal of this script is to set various field values throughout a form depending on what branch is chosen from a radio button group on the first page. I'm testing out the functionality with just two attributes - location name and address.In my tests, I selected "KBAN" as my location and ran this in the console. It did not set the field values of ("LOCATION_NAME") and ("LOCATION_ADDRESS"), but it did return "321 XYZ Road" in the console window.Any ideas why it won't set the field values?Thank you!var Location = this.getField("LOCATION").valueAsString; //radio button groupvar arrLocations = ["KPOR",                    "KBAN",                    "KCON",                    "KBUR", &nbs

Good morning,I need to modify a macro in VBA so that it prints pages 2 to the end of a PDF document. The problem is how to specify the last page of the document, which varies with every document the macro has to process.Can you please explain how to do it? Maybe it requires getting the lenght of the PDF document first, which I don't know exactly how to do it.This is the macro code so far, which would only print from page 2 (first parameter) up to page 3 (second parameter):                ad_ac_doc.Open ("DocName.pdf"), ""                pri_err = ad_ac_doc.PrintPagesSilent(1, 2, 2, 0, 0)                ad_ac_doc.Close 1                ad_pd_doc.Close

Good evening, I am trying to create a program which will export the PDF document as a FDF file, add pages, then import the FDF file back into itself.Here is my code, as a javascript action in adobe:var Pgx = ("G:\Team Drives\GENETICS\LOGISTICS\REC FORMS\REC FORM SHORTCUT\1-LS PGX REC FORM.pdf");var Cgx = ("G:\Team Drives\GENETICS\LOGISTICS\REC FORMS\REC FORM SHORTCUT\2-MHS CGX REC FORM.pdf");var File = (this.documentFileName.replace(/.pdf/,""));this.exportAsFDF({cPath: File(".fdf")});this.insertPages({cPath: Pgx});this.insertPages({cPath: Cgx});this.importAnFDF({cPath: File(".fdf")});I have tried looking up for what I could find on the forums, and internet, but it seems that my program does not want to add pages, OR export/import FDf files.  Any help would be appreciated!  I apologize for my lack of coding skill with Java/Javascript.

I have a work order form I've built and at the end of the form is a checkbox to check if the sale is sales tax exempt. The fields used are as follows (in the order they appear in the document/tab sequence):Pre_Tax_Subtotal (the field for getting the subtotal before tax is calculated)SalesTax (the field that calculates the sales tax; custom calculation provided, below )GrandTotal (the field for getting the total; basically the sum of Pre_Tax_Subtotal and SalesTax)SalesTaxExempt (a checkbox field that returns '1' if checked)Pre_Tax_Subtotal just takes the sum of line items, which works as expected (using the simple calculations provided by Acrobat).SalesTax uses the following formula:if(this.getField('SalesTaxExempt').isBoxChecked(0) == '1'){    event.value = 0;    } else {    var taxRate = .0825;    var subTot = this.getField('Pre_Tax_Subtotal').value;    var stc = subTot * taxRate;    event.value

We utilize a non conventional way of rounding and I would like to format the calculated fields in my form to this rounding method:Example: 0.45 rounds to 0.4                 0.35 rounds to 0.4It's called "Odd to Even" rounding. If the place being rounded (tenths place) has a five in the hundredths place and the number in the tenths place is even it rounds down and if the number in the tenths place is odd it rounds up.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
