Questions

I recently got Adobe Acrobat DC. I am having problems with 2 main things. The main one is that text randomly dissapears. The worst issue was today when I went to insert a page and suddenly when I did that, about 10 pages of text edits disappeared. But oddly enough, it was more like random letters disappeared. It is very frustrating when you have to edit 10 pages twice.The 2nd issue is that the program randomly just shuts down in the middle of editing. Screen turns gray and then I get a warning that the program needs to close.Both very frustrating.Can anyone help?Thanks!

Hi all,I would appreciate it so much if you could help me out a little with this.I have a starttime and endtime fields but I would like the form to auto calculate for me once these two fields have been populated. Example:How do I make the form calculate “Duration” for me and the “Total” as well.How do I make the form let the user to move from column to column automatically? For example, after entering start time (HHMM), the cursor would automatically move to the End time column?Thank you and Regards,James

Hello, this may be a scripting question. I also am not sure if I should duplicate the pages in Indesign or within acrobat.I have a large document for printing created as a merge in Indesign from CSV.I need to provide a proof with only one instance of each pageWhen we are ready to print, the pages need to be duplicated based on data from the original CSV.My thinking is I bring the number of copies required for each page as a field, non printing, screen only. This way the proofing process can also check and potentially amend the number of copies required while the content is being checked.I then need a method to duplicate the pages based on that field value.Alternatively......  Please give me a suggestion.Thanks

I want to retrieve Excel fields from a PDF Form every 60 seconds. What JavaScript code fits my needs?

I would like to use a value entered in one or two number entry fields to populate a specific area on a form with graphic images based upon those values? Any suggestions would be helpful.insertThis would ideally involve two 2-digit integer number fields that indicate the images desired.The images are scaled to fit the desired space however I need to first determine if just one or both fields are populate with a value. Then if only one value is present, that designated image is inserted in the desired space on page two of the form and horizontally centered. If two values are present, then both images are placed side by side in the space on page two and horizontally centered.Thanks for any input.

How do I capture the print button OnClick event so I can see if an user has printed something?

Hello my dears, I'm looking for a script for a text box in which I enter the time. At the moment I have assigned the field a format (HH: MM), and if the user enters HH.MM he gets an alert. But I would like the field to automatically switch to my chosen format (similar to an Excel spreadsheet). So:  the user types 9.30 and in my text field appears 09:30. Is there a script for it? (Acrobat Pro DC 2018) Can someone help? Thanks in advance!

Hello,I'am using Adobe Pro DC in order  to export financial PDF reports to HTML (or Word). However, the tables are hard (in fact extremely hard)  to parse and the toolkit failed to correctly detect tables. The PDFs have a high quality, the problem is that the tables are artistically\carefully designed.Is there something i can do  or some trick in order to improve table parsing accuracy.Thanks,  

I am using Adobe Pro DC and noticed that the properties box for a text field has the option of "Password".  I tried it and really appreciate that the masking is done automatically.  My question is how do you go about unmasking it?  It seems like a useless feature to be able to hide data but have no recourse to unhide or view that data later.  Is this something that can be resolved by inserting a button with JavaScript to mask/unmask? 

Hi again community,          I have a problem with some subjects that have been brought up multiple times on these forums, but I’m the type of person who seems to be the first to encounter problems that are normally fixed easily if it were to happen to anyone else.  I’ve searched online, on the Adobe forums, but either the formulas don’t work for our template or the solutions where on older Acrobats with different menu layouts and where missing one little setting…          I’m finalizing a PDF template for use as Work Orders.  All I’m trying to do is the following;Sequential Numbering – I’ve attempted the JavaScript a couple of times but can’t get it to work.  I was able to make the auto date function (thanks to this forum) but not the sequential numbering.  We would like to have the initials of the employee followed by a number that would go up by 1 every time the work order i

Trying to locate Joel Geraci's free PDF Portfolio Utilities: Version 1.7 but links keep saying, "The site has been archived. Visit blogs.adobe.com for latest adobe posts."  How can I access these archived posts?

Hello, when I'm using getPageNthWord, if the word is inside parentheses it keeps a parenthesis attached to the word even with bStrip parameter set to true. And what is strange is that only the "(" opening parentheses are kept, the closing ones are not.  This is problematic because when I want to match the document words with a search it doesn't match. It could be fixed manually by checking if the NthWord contains a parenthesis and removing it with replace() but I think it would slow performance on longer documents ?? Any explanation on this would be very appreciated !
