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

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 !

This works when I add the following script to the Custom Calculation in the 'JobType' text field, I type Regular in my 'Status' Text Field the number 1 shows up in 'Job Type' text field.The problem is I also need to be able to type Temp so the number 2 shows up, but when I try to add it and and I type Regular in the 'Status' field 2 shows up in 'Job Type', not 1.  I've tried everything and it's probably so simple var a ="";     if (this.getField("Status").value == "Regular"){     a="1";     }     event.value = a;

HiI am trying to make a textfield(input) become require if checkbox(special) is ticked.  I have tried everything I can think of.  I believe the problem is with the code for thecheckbox. The submit button works and populates email however it does not check to verify the textbox has something in it if the checkbox is ticked.Code is on a submit buttonvar isFormValid = true;if (this.getField("special").value == 'on' && this.getField("input").value == '')  {  app.alert('Enter Data');  isFormValid = false; } else{if (isFormValid) { var mySubject = "Leadership Development Request Form for" + "   " + this.getField("Name").value + "    " + "Circuit" + " " + this.getField("Circuit").value; this.mailDoc( {  bUI: true, cTo: "email@mail.com", cSubject: mySubject })}}Any assistance will be appreciated

Hello,I'm beginner to JavaScript and Acrobat JS api. I'm trying to write a script which makes annotations on phrases instead of single words, and I wanted it to be case insensitive. Therefore logically, I thought of using .toUpperCase() method on both this.getPageNthWord(p, w) and the words searched. To simplify it's use for multiple sentences, every phrases entered are pushed in an array and the annotation function is called for every items in this array.But the problem is that when I launch the script, the annotation is made only for the first phrase in the array and I get a "TypeError: this.getPageNthWord(p, w) has no properties" in the console.Here is a basic case which reproduces the exact same problem.In this example this is only an array of words which is searched for annotations, but as in my case, only the first word is highlighted and we get the same "TypeError: this.getPageNthWord(p, w) has no properties"function DoHighlight(word){for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++){&

I have created a drop down list called 'Employee List' to auto populate to 2 different text fields, 'Employee Name/ID1' and 'Employee Status1', that part I've got.When picking from the 'Employee List' and 'Regular' auto populates to the 'Employee Status1' the number '1' will auto populate to another text field named 'PayTypeStatus1'.  If 'Temp' auto populates to 'Employee Status' the no '2' will auto populate to 'PayTypeStatus2' etcThe other step involves a separate drop down list called 'Acting Rate'.  If an acting rate is picked it will need to override the Regular or Temp Status auto populated from 'Employee List' to say 'Acting', then 'Acting' will auto populate the number'11' to the 'PayTypeStatus' text field.One more thing, if 'Auxiliary' auto populates to 'Employee Status' from the 'Employee List' the number 3 will auto populate to 'PayTypeStatus' BUT if an acting rate is chosen the status needs to stay '3', not '11' as described above.I'm hoping for help, please

I have 3 text boxes involved in this code. the first text box is called adults, the second is called children and the third is called result. Once the user enters numbers into the first 2 textboxes the 3rd should display a result, and the result will be different depending on the numbers entered in the adults and children text boxes. here is the code that I wrote for it but it isn't working.var a = this.getField("adults").value;var b = this.getField("children").value;if ((a == 1) && (b >= 5))(event.value == "FSR")else if ((a <= 2) && (b >= 8))(event.value == "FSR")else(event.value == "PAU")I have this code written in the "custom calculation" area of the result text box properties.

I am trying to figure out how to do this one last task for my document but I'm a little baffled being new to JS, but I have mastered how to auto populate a text field from a drop down box!  Yeah!!Now I just need to figure out how to auto populate to my text fields from a check box, then I'll be done woo hooWhen the user ticks a check box (named 'Check box Sweeper 1') I would like the number '2' to auto populate to a text field named 'SSPHR1'.I will have 12 check boxes named differently that will need to do the same thing...When the user ticks the next check box (named 'Check box Sweeper 2') the number '2' will auto populate to the text field named 'SSPHR2 etcI'm pretty sure I have to put the script in the 'Custom calculation script' in the 'SSPHR1', 'SSPHR2' etc text fields, but I'm not sure the script I would use.  Also, would I need to change anything in the Check box Sweeper fields?Thank you!!

I'm attempting to nest an if statement to display a validation alert and a secondary informational alert which works fine, but continually pops-up with each field calculation if true. I'm now trying to incorporate the oCheckbox parameter after reading THIS article; however, although it displays properly and though my hideWarning variable is accurately resetting to "true" once the oCheckbox is checked, it does not stop popping-up. Any ideas what I'm doing incorrectly? Any assistance is very much appreciated!Here's a simplified version of what I'm attempting:if (!isNaN(event.value) && event.value < 10) { // Test for field value is a number and less than 10   app.alert("Value must be greater than 10",1,0); // Validation alert   var hideWarning = false; // initialization    // Display Alert if hideWarning is false    if(hideWarning == false) { // Test to see if variable hideWarning is false      &nbs

I have 4 solutions with different expiry dates and I need to assign the earliest expiry date among the 4 for the final product.  I am using Acrobat Pro and any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

I have an Acrobat form with monthly and annual expense columns. I would like it if the user could fill in either with both autofilling the other while still leaving them fillable. So if the user puts $10 in the monthly column the annual would auto calculate to $120. But, if they change the annual column to $144 the monthly would change to $12. Is there a way to script this?[Title shortened for clarity, and because the example got cut off... -Mod.]

I have a list of pdf documents, all of them have "ABC" field which is a sum of fields Field1 and Field2. I need to change the rule and add one more filed to the sum.I use Tools>Action Wizard and JavaScript like this:var f = this.getField("ABC");f.setAction('Calculate',  "AFSimple_Calculate(\"SUM\", \"Field1, Field2, Field3\");" );But after applying the action to the docs nothing was changed. What am I doing wrong?Thanks!

I am creating a dynamic stamp that I need to populate with information from the file path of the document that is being stamped.  The file path contains a date that I need to parse out and input into the stamp.  Unfortunately, I have only been able to get the document name or the file path of the stamp itself. Using event.source.source.documentFullName only gives me the document name without the path.  Of course, this.path gives me the path of the stamp only.  Is there a way, using javascript in the stamp, to get the full path? If this is not an option, I would need a way to prompt user to enter a date one time and be able to save that date to be used on subsequent stamping, so they don't have to enter it every time the stamp is used while Acrobat pro is open.  It can reset once it is closed.  The users need to stamp this specific date (and it is not the current date) on over 200 of the 500+ documents they review each time, and they don't want to have to e

Hi, i wrote a little app in excel (VBA) to fill a pdf and it is working perfectly on my laptop, i have Adobe Acrobat pro DC, but when i use it on another laptop i get an error:"Project or Library not found", the other laptop has an Acrobat Pro XI, and i have already included all the Acrobat libraries in references.please advise.

I found an entry in regedit.exe under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/AcroExch.PDDoc as: {FF76CB60-2E68-101B-B02E-04021C009402}Can someone confirm whether this is the correct CLSID?

I am using a validation code to in a text field, which I is to be typed into, to define a dropdown based on said typed in value. When I first started, the pdf would lag and show the options in the dropdown for the case I had just deleted from the typed field. For example, if you look at the code below, if I typed in "VS06", it would show nothing. And then, if I typed in "VS08", it would show the options for "VS06". But, I tried to make some changes, found out they didn't solve my issue, reverted back, and now, nothing is updating at all.  Please help.var A = this.getField("Model #").value; //gets model numbervar B = A.substr(0,4);               //isolating size         switch (B){            //selecting size    default:        thisField("DHT CV Line").setItems(["nothing

I am trying to create a form in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with three drop downs, two of which are dependent upon the selection made in the drop down before it.Given that I've never done anything of this nature previously, I have followed the advice given in this thread but am having an issue that didn't seem to come up there, and I couldn't find anything similar in other threads.The population of the dynamic drop down menus works fine, but I'm having trouble getting the values selected in the second and third drop downs to "stick". Initially, I did not set the field to "Commit selected value immediately", which allowed my selection to be made and held until I clicked out of the second drop down, then it reverted to the initial/top value in the list but the options in the third drop down were still related to the selection made but as soon as any selection is made, it also reverts based on the second drop down's reverted value.  If I select "Commit selected value immediately in the opti
