Hello,Background - I have a couple PDF floorplans with close to 100 cubicles and due to internal staff turnover, it needs to be updated often.  I was able to use Excel vba to dynamically update the cublicle assignments, but since the floorplans were plotted with all the layers, including dimensions, fixtures to plumbing, the drawings are very clutter. My question - is it possible to turn layers on/off with VBA.  Something like AvDoc.Lyaers("xxx").visible = falseThanks.

Hello, this problem is part of an ongoing issue that I have been addressing after getting a new computer that has a high resolution 1920x1080 screen and is running Windows 10. The sizes of icons, fonts, everything are far too small to read comfortably at 100% or even 125% zoom. Therefore, I have selected over 150% zoom in the windows settings for "Change the size of text, apps, and other items". This causes issues with almost all of the applications, which become blurry at the higher zoom setting. However, right clicking on the desktop icon > properties > compatibility tab > checking "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" seems to fix most of the problems with blurry text. I'm not sure if this is related, but the last issue I have is this: When I go to the Edit > preferences window, something like 15-20% of the window is hanging below the screen, and even if I resize the window, no scroll bar pops up. I can't hit Apply (or OK, or whatever else is down there) because

what is the javascript validation code for multiples of 6.  I have created a fillable order form in acrobat and certain items can only be ordered in multiples of 6. So i want the quantity field to only accept numbers that are divisible by 6.  thanks

Using Acrobat DC Professional with Windows 7 and trying to set Bookmarks to items on the lower half of a page we discovered that even with View / Page Display / Enable Scrolling and Show Gaps between Pages selected, the view will not allow us to show the bottom of one page and the top of the next page as shown below. Document properties are set to Single Page Continuous. I accidentally discovered that if I first turn on Automatically Scroll and then turn it off I can scroll anywhere and bookmark any view even the one below.Is there a way I could duplicate this effect using Javascript on file open?I'm looking for some help to code a Javascript to run Auto Scroll and then immediately turn it off, returning to top of the file. Thanks!

Hi,Have a form with 2 fields and a button. When filling in the fields and pressing the button, the button is hidden and the form is flatten. That is, it did in previous versions of Acrobat. Now I get this error:NotAllowedError: Toegang tot deze eigenschap of methode is niet mogelijk vanwege de beveiligingsinstellingen. (Translates as: access to this property or method is not possible due to the security settings.)Doc.flattenPages:15:Field FLATTEN:Mouse UpThis is the (complete) script:// The text in a Question Alert Box is usually in two parts.  A short explaination// and the actual question.  It's a good practice to separate the question from the // explaination by a line, In the text below, this separation is accomplished// with the escaped line feed characters "\n\n"// // The alert box will only show about 6 lines of text, so both explainations and // text should be kept shortvar cMsg = "Zeker weten?

Hello, I am trying to implement AVAppFrontDocDidChange in Adobe Reader DC 15.010.20060 When the callback is called I make the following calls:AVWindow hWindow = AVDocGetAVWindow ( doc);ASText titleText = ASTextNew (); ASTextSetPDText ( titleText, szCaptionOut); AVWindowSetTitle ( hWindow, titleText); ASTextDestroy ( titleText);After calling that, The titlebar of the App is never actually updated, but if i make the following call: ASText titleTextNew = ASTextNew (); AVWindowGetTitle ( hWindow, titleTextNew ); LPCSTR lpcszTextNew = ASTextGetEncoded(titleTextNew, 0);It is set with the correct text.Do I have to do anything special in Reader DC, to get it to refresh the active documents titlebar?

I have an add-in that adds a toolbar to acrobat. This toolbar contains 3 buttons. Based on the active document, some of these buttons should be visible, and others should not be.When I add the button to the toolbar I am using the AVToolButtonSetCompteVisibleProc function to set my visible callback. In a very simple example I have set my callback to simply return false. When debugging the code, I can see that this callback is called, however the effect is that the button is disabled, not hidden.The version of acrobat is Acrobat Pro DC Version 2018.011.20063

I understand that saving thumbnail images of pages in files was eliminated to reduce file size. However the current state of viewing pdf documents in thumbnail view could be drastically improved by not having to redraw thumbnails every time the scroll bar is moved so that a thumbnail goes offscreen and a new thumbnail pops up.  Also, having to redraw every thumbnail if a single page is rotated makes no sense.Obviously this is not an issue if you only have 5 or six thumbnails, but if you've dragged the thumbnail pane wide enough to get an overview of an 80 page document, this can be really, really annoying, especially if you're editing the document by moving pages around.Could someone with some clout please fix this very easy problem?Thank you very much!

I want to have a drop-down's export value change depending on a text field. Is there a way to do that?Thanks-Austin

// get the value of the form field var text1Value = this.getField("OrderNumber").value;// here you need to make sure that no illegal characters are used, and also that text1Value is not empty// make a file name from the field value var newFileName = text1Value + ".pdf";// get the path where the file is currently located var filePath = this.path.replace(this.documentFileName); // create the new full path var newFullFilePath = filePath + newFileName; try { this.saveAs(newFullFilePath);// Only this will not work from a button... } catch (e) { app.alert("Error! Could not save as: " + newFullFilePath); }

Hello everybody!I'm elaborating 8 millions of hand made index cards (paper, size A6 approximately) for a dictionary, that have been scanned as pictures, saved as  PDF (400 dpi, color) and gathered in documents of nearly 100 pieces each. I have therefore nearly 75.000 single documents. The next step is the digitalization of the content of each card, passing their standard informations in a kind of a relational database. I want do automatize this process as much as possible. (If I accelerate the process of elaborating a single card of 1 sec., it means I have saved 7,5 millions of seconds = 270 working days of 8 hours! (If you want to see an example, please feel free to email me at themistokliu-at-hotmail-dot-de.)The 100 digital cards of a document have the same "title" or belongs to the same word. My question:Is there any method to automatically split the 100-page-PDF-document in 100 single PDF-documents, which are automatically named by the title? For example, if a document named H

Dear Community,I am searching for a method to automate a working process with PDF files. The automation should be able to open a bunch of PDFs out of a folder, split them into single files and automatically search for a string and a date, combining the corresponding PDFs together und "safe as" the PDF files in another folder.Is there any way to do so without the need of a key?Do I need the SDK for that?Can I simply script it in C++ as kind of a macro like in MS office?Do I have to let it be certified by adobe?Do I need to be certified to create such a routine?What are my options in this case?Thank you very much and regardsMathieu

My problem is that I am getting the error saying that the default value does not match. Can anyone help me with this?

Hi All - really hoping someone can help me out with their JavaScript knowhow!I‘m creating a PDF form for my team which will be used to record the results of testing. What I’d like to do is have a text field which will change its text value and text colour, depending on the value inputted into another field.I have a text field in which a user will copy and paste a value which they have acquired - in this case it will be a hash value. There are expected reference hash values, and those acquired by the user during tests should ideally match these, but of course they may not. I want confirmation and a strong visual indication of this using a calculation script.As an example:I have a text field which the user will paste their acquired hash value into; this can either be upper-case or lower-case - we’ll call this field ‘Acquired-Hash’.For ease, let us pretend for this example that the expected value is “3bf5”.Next to the field ‘Acquired-Hash‘, I’d like a dynamic text field (called ‘Result’)
