Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need a java script to get the percentage of 2 numbers. I am including a picture below. For example, I need the number for Conventional Conforming divided by the Total to get the percentage used. Can anyone help?

I will extract the note in PDF file.When calling Acrobat API from VB.NET, the file will remain open and locked. Also, if I check the task manager, the Acrobat process may not finish, there may be a considerable time lag by the end.In the code, it seems that PDF has been opened in Acrobat even though processing to close PDF is included.It is OK even if Acrobat is left in the process, but I want to realize the process of closing the file immediately and releasing the lock as soon as the use of the file is over. What kind of code should be assembled to start Acrobat hidden in VB.NET and close the file opened with AcroPDDoc?sample code :    Private Function GetNoteOnPDF(ByVal filepath As String) As String        GetNoteOnPDF = ""        Dim objAcroApp As New Acrobat.AcroApp        Dim objAcroPDDoc As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc        Dim objA

How to you troubleshoot the error "the value entered does not match the format of the field"?  The message is being generated more than 50 times in the file.  You have to click OK on each of the messages before you can do anything else in the file.  When you edit the javascript you get the same error message but may reference another field.

Apologies if this has been asked before... I searched and couldn't find an answer.I have several fields that need to be dynamically formatted based on a user's input. Each field should allow a user to enter text (most always will be "N/A") OR be formatted as a number with a currency symbol.I've been playing around with the following code but am not sure if I'm approaching this correctly, and can't figure out where I should place it (Keystroke, Format, Validation, all three)?function formatSwitch() { if (typeof event.value =="number") {AFNumber_Keystroke(2, 0, 3, 0, "$ ", true);}Thank you!

It's really an important problem for me, I've been bothered for two days, and I've read the API reference of Acrobat as well as all the relating discussions in this forum.I'll be very grateful if someone could help me.Here is the problem:I am trying to deal with almost 3000 PDFs, using AcroExch to automatically save them as txt in Python 3.6.The code works, but the memories that Acrobat takes continues to raise while running, and then it will stop when the Acrobat cannot afford such big memories.The Acrobat will tell me that something wrong when opening this document, because too much documents are opened, I need to close some.I've already used PDDoc.close(), AVDoc.close(1), APP.CloseAllDocs(), app.Hide() and app.Exit()But it doesn't works, the first four methods returns "True" while the app.Exit() returns "False" all the time.Here is my code:import osimport win32comimport winerrorfrom win32com.client.dynamic import Dispatch, ERRORS_BAD_CONTEXTdef txt(path):    ERRORS_BA

Good evening, I am trying to find a way to print the strings in my Javascript into the console log, that, or print the strings into a txt file.Here is what I have so far:var File = this.documentFileName.replace(/.pdf/,"");var First = this.getField("First Name");var Last = this.getField("Last Name");var Middle = this.getField("Middle Initial");var State = this.getField("State");var Lab = "MDV";if (State = "AL" && "CT" && "FL" && "GA" && "HI" && "IL" && "KY" && "LA" && "MD" && "DC" && "MI" && "MN" && "NJ" && "NM" && "NC" && "OR" && "SC" && "TX" && "UT" && "VA" && "WY") {        lab = "HELIX";}var Patient = Last + ", " + First + " " + Middle + " - " + Lab + " - " + State + " - " + "REC FORM";I am looking for a way to print the variable, "File" so that we can see which files are not correctly spelled, a

Hi there,I apologize in advance in this not a solution that requires JavaScript and if so please let me know.I have a form that currently has a Required or Not required option. If the user selects Required then they fill out the fields associated with it. If the section is not required, they can complete the form without entering anything. I don't have this set up so that selecting Required and Not required are connected to the fields, other than Not required will clear any fields that were filled out.My first question is, if a user selects Not required but later decides they wish to fill in the form, is it possible for it to change to Required as soon as they select the checkbox(es), radio buttons or enter on any field? It currently keeps Not required selected (since they're not actually connected so to speak and Not required only clears any fields that were entered.My second question is, if a user selects Required, is there a way to state that everything in that table (checkboxes, fi

Adobe properly created a form from a Word document.  It used the text in the original Word document to create nice and accurate fillable fields in the new PDF and all looks correct.Now I would like to programmatcally change some of the 'titles' that precede the fillable fields. (It was these titles from which the fillable-field names were created) in order to give the title a friendlier name. I know how to cycle through the fillable-field names and change them at will, but is there a way to cycle through the 'titles'? (I can get to these titles chosing to 'Edit PDF' (and showing the bounding boxes, but not sure if this step is needed). I can also manually search for text snippets using CTRL-F, and I successfully replace text that is found one item at a time. Can I automate this 'find' and 'replace' routine.

What I am trying to do is use part of a field that is filled in by a user to fill in another field.  The two examples I am looking at working with are social security numbers and dates.I have one field that the user inputs the full social security number into.  On other pages, I only need the last four digits of the number.  Is there a way that this can be done?My second one is a date that is inputted by the user in a YYYYMMDD format.  Some of the pages need each digit added to a single charter block and some of them need a date that takes up two lines, year on top and month date below.  Is there a way either of those can be done?My experience with Java is very limited so I would prefer to be pointed in the direction so I can learn the info over just being given the answer if possible.

I want a dropdown box to populate with a list of names that comes from our Active Directory list in a certain area, but I'm not sure if it's possible or how advanced that would be to script something like that.

Hello,I added a simple JS function in Acrobat Pro DC, that creates a bookmark when a button is clicked. It works fine in Acrobat Pro, but when my client opened it in Acrobat Reader it didn't.I also added some debugging alerts before and after the bookmark function to check whether the function is called in Reader and to exclude that there is an error in the line itself. Both were fired.Here is the code:function addBookmark(label) {  var index = bookmarkRoot.children ? bookmarkRoot.children.length : 0;  //bookmarkRoot.createChild(label, "this.pageNum = " + (this.pageNum), index);  alert("bookmarkRoot'"+this.bookmarkRoot.children[0]+"'");         this.bookmarkRoot.createChild("Bookmark label", "this.pageNum = 4");       this.bookmarkRoot.createChild("Bookmark label2", '"this.pageNum=4"');        alert("finished"); }Any ideas why the bookmarks aren't created and how can I proceed with

Hi im creating a form in which i need to limit the input into a text box based on the value of another text box. for example if text box "wpds" has UB36 input into it, I then want text box "pass"  to only allow the input of "Root","Hot", "Fill" or "Cap".  But if text box "wpds" has UF49 input into it, i want text box "pass" to only allow the input of "Layer1" "Layer2" or "Layer3".  Any input into this will be greatly appreciated. thanks

Hi,I have a pdf document with 1000 pages.800 pages is in colour, 200 black and white and I wish to reduce colour pages to 500 pages.I have a list of selected pages that need to be in colour and I also have a list of pages that should be black.There is an option to convert colours in Adobe but there is no way to paste a list of pages and you can not select thumbnails neither and then convert.You can only give a range page 1-1000 for example or give a single page number but you can not ask for conversion of pages for example: 3,5,7, 25, 80, 500 and convert them all in one go.I heard that Java could handle such a task but unfortunately I can not find good example.If there would be some plugin being able to perform such task that would be great!Thank you for your answers.
