I've created a series of forms in Acrobat Pro that the Javascript works works only some of the time, or stops working, or works differently on different platforms.Created and tested in Acrobat Pro on my computer, but also Acrobat Pro on MacBookPro, Windows 11, and using Acrobat Reader on all platforms. All software has Javascript enabled.The simple form only has 1 recurring script attached to 8 similar fields to change the field color depending on the value of what's in the field. It works initially, then make any other changes to the form (no other Javascript) and save again... then the field scripts (sometimes) stop working when testing or opening it again to fill. Sometimes they don't work at all, even though nothing from those fields has changed. I thought maybe saving a version that is Reader optimised (Save as Other -> Reader Extended PDF -> Enable more Tools) might work, but it's just as unstable as with Acrobat Pro.The finished form is intended to be used as a templa

Hello hello everyone,(First of all, I'm truly sorry for my poor english and thus, for this question badly written, I'm not an english speaker)(Second, I already tried to find an answer by searching through the forums but I didn't find anything that was of any help with my pretty poor abilities to understand Javascript (and I already asked my question in the french version, which didn't give any result))Here is the issue I'm facing :A series of checkboxes whose number associated (I suppose the value?) must be transferred in a text area when checked. Problem “bis”, I don’t understand javascript and the many examples I’ve found on the forum about similar issues, hence I can’t ‘translate” them to my particular situation. More precise description: I have a series of checkboxes (in an interactive PDF form that I make with ADOBE ACROBAT PRO), each one represents a certain number "1", "2", "2024", etc. => in fact a code in a list of work risks. The risk "Fall" has the code "1", the "chemica

I'm just trying to create a mailDoc on Mouse Up for a submit button and I'm encountering a syntax error:var sendForm = app.alert("Are you ready to submit to " + ProgramManager + "?",2,2,"Program Manager Submission");if(sendForm) == 4) {this.mailDoc({bUI:true,cTo:ProgramManagerEmail,cSubject:"Incident Report Submitted",cMsg:"A new Incident Report has been submitted.\n Please sign it and return it to the sender."});}elseapp.alert("Please continue with the form"); I'm getting syntax error 3: at line 4. I'm hitting a wall, so I'm open to suggestions. ProgramManagerEmail is a variable that is set from a drop-down to select a user. That populates an email address in ProgramManagerEmail. Thank you,~ David

hello can i know some steps to help me to add my own plug in to adobe

I have experimented a lot using viewState function this.viewState.toSource();var refView = eval(viewState.toSource());refView.pageViewZoom= 5;refView.pageViewY = 1500;refView.pageViewX = 800;this.viewState = refView;this.viewState.toSource(); but it is going haywire and is not able to focus on the page at the X and Y coordinates. I have tried page scroll also and there is no description in the manual.  Your help is very much appreciated.

The lineFileRef source = FileRef.CreateFromStream(stream, "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document");seems to run indefinitely. Witihin stream is a docx file. This seems to only be an issue while using docx files so wondering its an on going issue, I'm using the wrong media type or something else. Thanks

Hello, I tried to set up some conditional formating on a PDF form and am hot sure where it went wrong. Here's what I hoped to achieve: I configured three check-box field "Check Box5.0.0.0", "Check Box5.1.0", and "Check Box5.2.0.0", and I want the three box to be filled with green, red, and purple if they're checked individually. I confugured them to run a Javascript, with Mouth Up as the trigger, and the code is below: if(event.target.value != "Off")    this.getField("Check Box5.0.0.0").fillColor = color.yellow;else    this.getField("Check Box5.0.0.0").fillColor = color.transparent;  I edited the form on MacOS and it seems to be working, but when I later open it up on a PC, it behaves really strange. Same thing happened when I opened it on a differnet Mac. Once I checked another box, it'll clear up the color for the previous check-box. Not sure where I got it wrong. Thanks!  

Hi. I'm trying to write a script for incorporation into a custom Action that can run on a batch of files. The goal is to add a watermark in the upper right-hand corner of all pages with:Line 1: File ID = [file name without extension]Line 2: Page # of 30 For example, for a pdf named 'MyFile.pdf' that contains 30 pages, the script would add the following text in the upper left corner of each page: File ID = MyFilePage # of 30 where # starts at 1 and increments by 1 on each subsequent page See draft script below. As written, it only adds the watermark to the first page of the pdf. I've successfully created scripts to do each line of the watermark independently, but can't seem to figure out how to accomplish both into a single script. Any suggestions are very appreciated! for (var p = 0; p < this.pageNum; p++); var cMyText = "File ID = " + event.target.documentFileName.replace(/\.pdf$/i,"") + "\nPage " + (p+1) + " of " + numPages; event.target.addWatermarkFromTe

Why setTimeOut not working?This is my script: var p=0;var link_info="";function processPage(){if (p < 10){link_info += "page:"+p;p++;app.setTimeOut(processPage, 1000);console.println(link_info);}else{event.value = link_info;}} processPage();  Result output: page:0undefined

Hello all,I've just finished refreshing my iMac to clean up the macOS and have run into a problem with an existing XCode project. The code is based on one of the Samples that comes with the Acrobat SDK and I did have it working previous to the wipe and reinstall, but now I'm getting an error at the end of the compilation. There appears to be an Adobe shell script that runs at the end of the process to copy the compiled Adobe Acrobat plugin over to the /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/DC/Plug-ins directory. But I'm getting an error "Sandbox: ditto(50711) deny(1) file-read-data /<path to Desktop>/XCode-PDF-Plugins/PluginSupport/Samples/tech360AODAtool/mac/BuildResults/bin/debug/<pluginName.acroplugin" : Operation not permitted What I'm surmising is that somewhere in the past I updated a setting to allow XCode permission to read from the Desktop and write to the ~/Library directories. Any thoughts on what I need to do here to allow

I am creating a form that adds amounts for a total. I want to create a check box (BOX1), that when checked, puts a specific dollar amount in another text box  (#4) which is then added to other amounts to create a total for purchase. 

I have an 'assessment' document that also includes a 'report' template that is generated once the assessment is completed. The report has number fields duplicated from the assessment. I want to round up the numbers on the report up to closest 5, but have the fields on the assessment remain as the number input by the user. Is there any way of doing this? My thought at the moment is that the duplicating fields will need to be removed and number fields with calculation script added. Hope this explanation makes sense and thanks for help.

Hi, I have created a privileged function "executeSave" to save a document by the saveAs() method. I can't access folders at the folder level (but that's not important right now), so I put the function definition in the privileged Action context.// privileged function declaration var executeSave = function( cPath, cConvID, bPromptToOverwrite, bCopy ){ app.beginPriv(); saveAs({ cPath: cPath, cConvID: cConvID, bPromptToOverwrite: bPromptToOverwrite, bCopy: bCopy }); app.endPriv(); } // inserting a privileged function into app.trustedFunction() app.trustedFunction(executeSave);I put all this code into the privileged Action context and named the action executeSave. I restarted the Acrobat application and inserted code into the button in the form to call the "executeSave" function// call "executeSave" from button MouseUp event executeSave( "/C/Users/Uzivatel/OneDrive/INPUT/myExportFile.ps", "com.adobe.acrobat.ps", false, true )Here is a screen shot of how I inserte

I'm trying to show the Export Value of a dropdown instead of the selected option i.e. the user selects BLACK but the export value of BLK is actually displayed.  I can find lots of discussions on how to pull the export value and display it or use it to trigger another response in another field and I can usually tweak my existing JavaScripts when I need something new but I cannot seem to wrap my head around this!This is my latest (failed) attemptvar f = this.getField("eyes");if (event.value == "Black - BLK")f.value = "BLK"I'm using Acrobat PRO DC.Any help is appreciated,ThanksMeabh

I am talking about New Acrobat as described here:https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/acrobat/using/new-acrobat-experience.htmlIn a prior version of that page, there was a note about it not supporting 3rd party plug-ins. It wasn't very polite about that either; it just crashed with the plug-in installed but didn't if it was removed. It also runs fine with the plug-in in the regular mode. The current version of the above linked page describing the new look doesn't mention the lack of 3rd part plug-ins. It was very prominently mentioned before and has now been removed, so my assumption was/is that they think it is fixed.  What makes this especially bad is that when you get an update including it, it is enabled by default, so all users get the crash. I am now wondering if this was addressed and there is something I need to change in my plug-in the support the new look.

Hi Developers, I have just seen the possible reason for the crash or non startup of Adobe Acrobat Pro, scroll down to an excerpt from the crash report in Blue Writing, where it speaks of CPU% average use going above 50. I really need your help and I hope you can help me rectify this problem as I am paying for Adobe Acrobat every month. I have an older imac mid 2010 with some hardware upgrades.CPU core i7 870, but only 1st generation.Graphics Card a new GCN4 AMD Radeon Pro WX4150 4GB.SSD DriveOpenCore Legacy Patcher to enable Sonoma 14.1.1 to run.So Adobe Acrobat can run on MacOS Monterey perfectly with OpenCore Legacy Patcher. So that does not seem to be the issue.But Adobe often will not even start up on Sonoma or Ventura MacOS. I can watch Activity Monitor the CPU Usage climbs to 100 and then Adobe Acrobat Pro crashes and says Adobe not responding and the CPU usage will stay at 100 and not go down or up (it will fluctuate by about 5 CPU point up or down but mostly stay

Hi,I am using Acrobat Pro DC on Windows 10.The JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference Manual (2015) page 1 (36) states: "The most recent version of Acrobat now uses JavaScript 1.7."With a paragraph and table showing the following information that Acrobat 10 support JavaScript version 1.8.However, when using JavaScript, the functions and features above JavaScript 1.5 are not available and will throw errors.For example:Math.trunc(42.7)  will give "TypeError: Math.trunc is not a function"Same applies to default parameter values, binary number annotation, etc.ThanksMohsen

So, I have for teachers (teaching standards). It is 44 pages and every page only has text on HALF the page. The bottom half of every page is EMPTY. Is there a simple/easy way to cut every page in half, discard the EMPTY part, and combine the two top half pages together into one page? (which would make the pdf a total of 22 pages instead of 44 and no empty/waste of space?).
