How can I auto-fill a user's name (or abbreviation of their name) in a text box? I know how to do the auto-fill for a date, but can't get the JavaScript to work for a user's name. This would be when the form is opened. I'm using Acrobat Pro DC XI.

I would like to change the border color of all of the fields in a 60+ array of fields, dependent upon whether a button is hidden, without having to set each field border color one-by-one. Here is an example of how I have this set up, which is not working. How can I do this?var btn = this.getField("btn.ABC");var highlight = new Array()    highlight[0] = "chk.BP"    highlight[1] = "txt.CD.A.Line.01.b"    highlight[2] = "num.CD.BPAC.A.01"    highlight[3] = "num.CD.BPBC.A.01"    highlight[4] = "txt.CD.A.02"    highlight[5] = "num.CD.BPAC.A.02"if(btn.hidden == true){highlight.borderColor = color.white}else {highlight.borderColor = color.black}

Hello everyone, hope all is well.It has been a while since I last visited and this forum has always been very helpful and I thought it would be good to clarify a (newbie) question.I am trying to obtain data from several form fields using the below code:var count_item = 1;while (this.getField("Bem_Descr_"+count_item).value!==""){var REG27 = [];REG27 ["descricao"] = this.getField("Bem_Descr_"+count_item).value;REG27 ["valor_ant"] = this.getField("Bem_Posicao_Anterior_"+count_item).value;REG27 ["valor_atual"] = this.getField("Bem_Posicao_Atual_"+count_item).value;REG27 ["pais"] = this.getField("Bem_Codigo_Pais_"+count_item).value;var output_reg27 = "\r27"+NR_CPF+REG27.descricao+REG27.valor_ant+REG27.valor_atual+REG27.pais;app.alert(output_reg27);count_item++}I am able to see each of the results using the app.alert, but I need to have each of the results in a single string altogether.Could anyone point me in the right direction?Many thanks in advance!

Hello,I am attempting to automate the process of adding a "Back to Index" button on the first page of each section of my PDF. All the pages I want to add the button to are bookmarked. I do know that you can duplicate a button on all pages, but really I only want the button on the FIRST page of each section. I have some coding experience, just not with Adobe javascript. I was thinking of an implementation that loops through all the bookmarks, pulling the page number they reference, and calling an "add button" function. Is this even possible? If so, could someone guide me along they way with some pre-written scripts?Or is there an easier way to do this? I appreciate any help!

How do I extract the PDF version of a PDF file using Visual Basic code?

My Javascript code for calculating a value from a specific date difference the debugger complains with no understandable reasons.E.g. "GetFullYear is not a function" although These are normal Javascript functions.This is the code:var PastDate = this.getField("Datum1").value;var jetzt = new Date();PastDate = PastDate.split(".");var DateDiff = jetzt.GetFullYear()-PastDate[2] + 12*(jetzt.GetMonth() - PastDate[1]);this.getField("€_2").value = DateDiff / 12 * this.getField("Prozent1").value / 100 * this.getField("€").value;Could anybody inform me please what is wrong at the script and where I can find a suiting documentation to easily build such scripts?Cause the Adobe Javasript API Acrobat DC SDK Documentation  does not really help.Thank you very much.

Hi all,I have a question. I only know a bit of VBA, so Javascript is still a bit of a mistery to me.What I need is a program like this:If papersize = A4 or A3 ThenPrintsize = A4ElsePrintsize = A3This way, all our big drawings (A2-A0) will be printed on A3. The rest on A4. (Our A3 drawings are perfectly readable on A4 and that saves a lot of paper in the end.)I don't mind if this means that for a document of 20 pages, there will be 20 printjobs.thanks

Hi, I would like to use javascript to digitally sign a document, in order to be able to sign many files at once using action wizard.Does anyone know the script to add a visible digital sign to a document?Thanks in advance,

I have a bunch of documents named similar to the following:ThisProduct_01-TEXT.pdfThisProduct_02-TEXT.pdfand JPG covers for them:ThisProduct_01-COVER-FRONT.jpgThisProduct_01-COVER-BACK.jpgThisProduct_02-COVER-FRONT.jpgThisProduct_02-COVER-BACK.jpg(etc.)What I currently have:I have a working script that works as follows:[1] Before running script > Open a PDF, then drop the two cover images at the front of the doc.[2] Run script > Script moves cover JPGs to correct place and renumbers pages accordingly.What I want to be able to do:I want to be able to have JS access the filename of the currently open document so that I can then run some string replacements that enable it to automatically find the JPGs and run the rest of the script that I have working. The workflow would look like this[1] Open document[2] Run script... and there is no messing around trying to find the right images as Acrobat JS determines what they are called based on the open filenameMy Question:How can I retrieve

I'm using the Javascript object interface to set properties of multiple annotations on a page. I would like the set the properties of all selected annotations at once but this method only allows setting the properties of one annotation at time, forcing me to iterate through all selected annotations and set them one at a time.  The is very slow.  In Acrobat DC user interface I can select multiple annotations and set all their properties at once (very quick).  Is there any programmatic means to accomplish this?

Hi Everyone,Our form requires about 5 different people to look at it, one after the other.  I set up a button for each person to press, once they sign it, to email a copy of the form along to the next person.Rather than sending a copy of the form via email, I'd like to have the button email the PDF file's location to the next person in line.  We all have a shared network so no problem regarding that.  I'm just not sure what I need to write in order to get this done!Any suggestions would be a appreciated!

Hello world,I have a problem with a form I'm trying to put together; the form will be used to tally the amount of trucks coming into a job site (I.E. it is a grid with checkbox items that are ticked as trucks come in). The problem is, I'd also like to add the option of having a textbox with a value that will automatically tick the right amount of checkbox items, rather than checking them all one by one. I guess in summary the code would need to be like this: inputs > 0, Check Box 1 is checked. inputs > 1, Check Box 2 is checked, etc.I have no real experience with javascript, so any help would be appreciated,Thanks,

We have PDFs with lots of pages. On some pages we have links to external files like XLSX or PDF or folders. Is there a tool or a java script, which scans automatically all existing links in my PDF if the expected target of this link does exist? At the end it would be perfect, if I get a list from all failed links. Thanks a lot in advance for any help.Manuela
