I'm working in Acrobat X, but users are using a variety of Acrobat and Reader of every version. A client needed a PDF to ship with layers turned off, but be returned with layers turned on. After I added this to the script that displays the PDF results, then saved the PDF with Reader Extended PDF>Enable Additional Features:if (layers.state == true){layers.initState = layers.constants.states.on;}else{layers.initState = layers.constants.states.off;}...the regular PDF worked fine in Acrobat, but the Reader Extended version stops execution with the message:Acrobat EScript Built-in Functions Version 10.0Acrobat SOAP 10.0NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.OCG.initState:11:Field Finalizar:Mouse UpThe error message tells us nothing, but when I comment out the lines that switch the constant.states status, the error goes away. But then the layers are not visible when the head office gets the PDF back.I've looked this up in the Acrobat SDK, but constant

I'm doing a Spanish language form that displays a list of countries in a drop-down:Seleccione el PaísColombiaCosta RicaMéxicoPanamáPerúThe country name is is used to display different options. This worked as expected when the list of country names was in the dropdown validation box. But then I had to move the validation to a document-level script and now the validation doesn't work on any variable that has an accent in it. (Only Colombia and Costa Rica work as expected). So I added the following to the dropdown validation to try passing unaccented values to the document-level script:var dropdown = event.value;if (dropdown == "Seleccione el País"){var resetDropdown = "Seleccione el Pais";}else if (dropdown == "Colombia"){var resetDropdown = "Colombia";}else if (dropdown == "Costa Rica"){var resetDropdown = "Costa Rica";}else if (dropdown == "Panamá"){var resetDropdown = "Panama";}else if (dropdown == "Perú"){var resetDropdown = "Peru";}else{var resetDropdown = "Mexico";}SetCountry(reset

Hi All,Good Morning...Is it possible to Export Tagged PDF XML structure using PDF Javascript or any other plugins.Thanks & Regards,Senthilvel S

How would I write in javascript for forms tagging that X should be true when Y is not true? Is there a way to do this in tagging without javascript? I have tried all operators of !=, ===, etc.

Field 1 is Acct #Field 2 Sold To (this is the clients name based on the account # selected in field 1)Filed 2 Ship To (this is the clients address based on the account # selected in field 1)It is my understanding that I shoud run a javascript. However, I am VERY new to this and am unsure of how/what code to write.

Essentially, I have an expense codes list, and I want the title of the account to display with the expense code when selecting, but then only display the number once selected. Is this possible with Adobe Acrobat Pro?

SyntaxASBool AVAppOpenHelpFile(const char* fileName, ASBool doSearch)Opens a specified help file from the default installation help directory. If the help file is not found, it optionally opens a dialog box asking if the user wants to search for the help file.as above, so where is  the default installation help directory?

From the DC SDK Documentation to find the end of a batch file you have to use the PDF count:if (global.counter == global.FileCnt) { console.println("End of Job..."); delete global.counter; delete global.FileCnt; }This relies on the user to first run the global.FileCnt Action than run the main batch file for doc processing (which cnts the global.counter). How can I find the end of a batch file if all I had was one Batch file?  The other method is just not intuitive.

I can easily change the name of the fieldI supplied a small portion of the form below.THank you so much, as I have been trying everything

Can someone please tell me why the result of this script is one day short? (The date fields are formatted mm/dd/yyyy)     Ex: the difference between 01/01/2019 and 12/31/2018 == 0 instead of == 1//dateEnd  var actual = this.getField("date.Actual.Closing").value;  var dateEnd = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy", actual); //get date object for end date//Start date: construct it from dateEnd as 12/31/ of the yyyy before dateEnd  var yr = this.getField("date.YearPrior");  var year = dateEnd.getFullYear();    yr.value = year - 1  var strStart = this.getField("date.LastDec31");    strStart.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date("12/31/" + yr.value));  var dateStart = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy", strStart.value);//Calculate and assign the date difference  var dDiff = dateEnd.getTime() - dateStart.getTime(); /  var oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;  var days = this.getField("num.days");    days.valu

When I open a pdf it does not recognize the new document as a variable. The document opens up but in the debugger it shows oDoc as not being assigned. Once this PDF opens up it does not change the two fields because of this. What am I missing here?var oDoc = app.openDoc(orgFilePath);oDoc.getField("GTC_class_year").value = class_year;oDoc.getField("GTC_class_number").value = class_number;I am using the continuous version of DC 2019.008.20081

I have a batch script which combines all files in a folder.  I can add an Page processing action to add page numbers but it only pages each document separately.  Is there a way I can do page numbers as a sequence of my entire documents. Example:1 Doc = 2 pages2 Doc = 3 pagesFinal doc should be stamped with pages 1-5

In the script at lines 1 thru 7, this.getField("date.Closing.Actual.Date") has a date format of mm/dd/yy and its value determines the yyyy value of this.getField("date.YrOfClosing") which has a yyyy custom date format.  this.getField("date.Prior1231") has a date format of mm/dd/yy . I need to use the yyyy value to set the yy value of this.getField("date.Prior1231") to 12/31/yy of the year before yyyy (where mm/dd will always be 12/31). Ex: if the source field value is == 2018 then the value of this.getField("date.Prior1231") should be 12/31/17.1. var actual = this.getField("date.Closing.Actual.Date").value;   //mm/dd/yy format2. var d = util.scand("mm/dd/yy", actual);3. var yearOfClosing = this.getField("date.YrOfClosing");   //YYYY format.4.      yearOfClosing.value = d.getFullYear( );  //extracts year in YYYY format5. var f = d.getFullYear().toString().substr(-2); //Ex: change 2018 to 18.6. var priorDec31 = this.getField("date.

var openDoc = app.openDoc({cPath: myPath}); var d = app.activeDocs; <--gets all open docs app.alert("this.path: " + this.path);  <--this.path is not always the openDoc.  app.alert("openDoc.path: " + openDoc.path);How do I make the openDoc the active Doc?  Essentially I am needing to add page numbers to it.

Hi there,I am facing a problem regarding a percentage calculation in my form.As of now my code to receive a proper display of the correct percentage decimal I am using this code:if(event.target.name=="Tax"){event.value=event.value/100;}This works fine so far. However, when I change any other value of other fields this specific field starts to calculate again the value by 100.Example:Tax: 5%-> Changing field of unit priceTax: 0.05% (it calculates the value again by 100).Anybody an idea how to solve this problem?Thank you in advance!Ketch

Basically I'm looking for a master / slave type of behavior.I have four checkboxes, cb0, cb1, cb2, and cb3. I'd like to check cb0 if ANY of the others are checked and uncheck cb0 if ALL of the others are unchecked. I would think there is a simple solution here as it should simply read somthing like:var f0 = getField("cb0");var f1 = getField("cb1");var f2 = getField("cb2");var f3 = getField("cb3");if (f1.value === "On" || f2.value === "On" || f3.value === "On") {     f1.value = "On";} else {     f1.value = "Off";}Many thanks in advance!

I created an Action that creates a text field on the top of the page. How do I get it to repeat it on the top of the remainder of the pages in the document?// Create the "DatePrinted" field on the top of the first pagevar fldTop = this.addField("DatePrinted", "text", 0, [36,774,576,756]);fldTop.value = "DatePrinted";fldTop.textSize = 14;fldTop.textfont = font.Arial;fldTop.textColor = color.red;fldTop.alignment = "center";fldTop.display = display.hidden;fldTop.readonly= true;fldTop.doNotSpellCheck = true;fldTop.doNotScroll = true;Any assistance will be greatly appreciated,Thanks

I have this code to count pdf's in a folder I want to process:/* Count PDF files */ if ( typeof global.FileCnt == "undefined" ){ global.FileCnt = 0; //app.alert("your count:  " + global.FileCnt);}I would like to have it finish processing than call another Batch file to process.  Currently I have to manually start the other batch file after the count is done for it to work. Can this be done automatically? 

My form was working perfectly until I added some script to hide fields based on a button... now I get an errorJavaScript Debugger (window) says: TypeError:  f is null1051:byteCodeToolAny ideas?                          

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and would like to set up some validation script for a date field of an application. For example - the start date of the project must be no earlier than May 15 2019. If the user enters a date before May 15 I want an error message that states "start date must be May 15 or later". I also need something similar for the completion date of the project. For example: the completion date should be by May 14 2020. So if the user enters a completion date after May 14 2020 an error message such as "completion date must be before May 14 2020. Is something like this possible with the calendar? Any other ideas on how to achieve this?
