I have a script that counts the checked boxes up to a predefined number (lets say 5) and stops users from checking more boxes. But when I close and reopen I can check another 5. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? //----------------------------Document JavaScript Code ----------------------------var counter = 0;                 // Checked counter//--------Count Checked boxes again when document is closed and re-opened ------------for (var i =0; i<= 100; i++){          if (getField("chkBox" + i).value == "Yes"){          counter += 1;          }}//-------------Validation Function ---------------------------------------------------function validateCheckBox(name,value){          if (value == "Yes" && counter &lt

Hello, I've created a form in which certain check boxes and fields are required. When clicking on the submit button, I would like it to verify if those check boxes and fields have been filled in. If they have, then send a mail with the PDF. However, if they haven't, then highlight the empty fields. Unfortunately, I know pretty much nothing of JavaScript, which means that if I find an article that shows the solution, it doesn't work for me (probably because I didn't specify the names of the fields...). Can you please help me out?The check boxes that need to be filled in are "Customer" and "Site". The fields that are required are "Name" and "Contact".

Greetings,I am designing a form that will be filled out in three steps.  I have it set up to show the fields for the first person and have the second and third person's fields hidden.  When the form is signed digitally, the action will lock the fields on page one, make the fields visible on page two and then (This is the part I cannot figure out) email the form intact to the next person (hard coded) for them to complete their section.  When they sign the form it will lock the fields on page 2, make visible the fields on Page 3 and save it (yes, I have to figure this out too) in a specific location for the final person to complete and sign.  The final signature will lock the remaining fields and save the file in a new location (repeat of the previous signature script with a new location).I have successfully created the first script to switch the fields, but when I use the script to email the form, it arrives without any data or fields for the next person.Any directio

Is there a way apply different formatting to text as default text in a text box?In the example shown, I would like to have the first word (shown in green in the example) bold - and the rest normal unbold.   Unfortunately, applying formatting appears to apply to the entire contents of the "Default Value" - not just selected text. If that isn't possible, can the text box have a title?

I am trying to add in proper script for my form in order to calculate certain fields but am running into NaN (Not a number) error codes.Additionally, I would prefer for all cells to remain blank until filled in and they start to populate. I would also like to format the first three columns in the table as number (currency) and the last one as percentage but am running into additional error codes when doing so.To my understanding, I need custom calculation script rather than my simplified field notation to ensure I am able to do this but I am not familiar enough with JavaScript to do this myself. I have taken a partial screen shot of the specific table I am talking about below:       I would be looking for the proper JavaScript to put into columns 3 and 4. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your time

Hello, I have created a indesign file which contains 4 layers, I have export it to PDF,  I want to create button in PDF with Acrobat which can on and off a layer (A), with Java script code...Thanks...

I am working on a pdf form in adobe acrobat that will merge with another program (Service Monster).  This is accomplished by adding data tags such as [LINE_QTY_3] into the properties name box of a given text form field in acrobat, which then pulls in the quantity from line 3 of the other program. The problem I am having is I want to add together the value from 2 text fields that contain data that was pulled in through these data tags.  In particular, I want to sum [LINE_QTY_3] & [LINE_QTY_4]. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

I am trying to write a script to auto-calculate a Goal by multiplying the Total Contract Value by the selection from the drop down box.  Here is my stab at it but I am getting a Syntax Error before statement 2 at line 3.  Any help is appreciated.Thank you!if(this.getField("Type of Contract").value=='Construction (10% Goal)'){event.value=nTotal Contract Value*0.10;}else if(this.getField("Type of Contract").value=='Non-Construction (3% Goal)'){event.value=nTotal Contract Value*0.03;}else{event.value=0//}

This is more of Curiosity, I'm unsure if this can be done.  Now I have Script that will save to a Network Drive, like so:oNewDoc.saveAs({cPath: "/K/Penta/Split/"+filename});Now I wish to know instead of Saving it to my K Drive, could I save it by specifying the name of network drive like so:\\sovarchrpri01\d$\Penta\Split\This is just so I can avoid constantly changing the Drive Letter, since this drive letter changes for the sovarchrpri01 a lot, and just change the folders I would be saving it.

Hello,I need help in creating a form with radio buttons:1.  There are 37 questionnaires.  Each question has 3 buttons with corresponding value but different for each question.  Example:Question#1          YES  = 4          NO    = 0          N/A    = 0Question#2          YES  = 3          NO    = 0          N/A    = 0I need to be able to have a total for each field based on the value.  So for instance, I selected YES on both = my total should be 7.I have not done javascript before but I am not new in creating acrobat forms, so I will really appreciate any help from all of you.Thank you.Lynne

(EDITED to clarify question)I have a group of radio buttons named KAQuestion.1 (export values are either 0 or 1), a Submit1 button, and two fields - CorrectTotal and IncorrectTotal.If the radio value is 0, submit should trigger 1 to be added to IncorrectTotalIf the radio value is 1, submit should trigger 1 to be added to CorrectTotalPlease help me with the script for the Submit button.  Here's the core of what I'm looking at:var KAQ = this.getField("KAQuestion.1").value;if (KAQ == 0)this.getField("IncorrectAnswerTotal").value = +1;elsethis.getField("CorrectAnswerTotal").value = +1;I had this script as a calculation on the CorrectTotal, which works, but I don't want the calculation to trigger until the user commits to the submit buttonvar testFor = "1";var groups = this.getField("KAQuestion");var ar = groups.getArray();var cnt = 0;for (var i=0; i<ar.length; i++) {    if (ar.value == testFor) {        cnt++;    }}ev

Hi. I am a beginner in the JavaScript SDK of Acrobat. I would like to change the size of the 3D annot but it seems the following piece of code is not working. var pageIndex = this.pageNum;   var annotIndex = 0;   var aMy3DAnnots = this.getAnnots3D(pageIndex);   var RectArray = aMy3DAnnots[annotIndex].rect;   RectArray = [48, 200, 300, 193];For fields, I have a similar piece of code and it works. aObj = this.getAnnots({nPage:0});aObj[0].rect = [48,100,300,193];Is there anything that I am doing wrong?Thank you very much for your guidance.

I have a field that exists on multiple pages. The fields name is:032stateFor example let's say it resides on page 12 and 13 (based on page index starting with 0).I am clicking a button that looks for a specific layer within the page that the button is on. The script checks to see if the specific layer state is true or false and toggles it accordingly. What I want is the 032state field to do is....When the specific layer ON THAT PAGE is visible the field is visible, when it is off the field is hidden.So if I click the button on page 13 I need it to ONLY change the display state of the field on page 13.Line 20 and line 33 is where I am stuck.Here is my code...any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm still a newbie var ocgSchematicArray = this.getOCGs(this.pageNum);var getButtonName = this.getField("032wires");var getState = this.getField("032state");var theFieldsPage = getState.page;// Look through all the layers on this pagefor (var i = 0; i < ocgSchematicArray.length; i++) {

Hi.I have a multiple page document and there are buttons on the first page to direct me into different pages of the PDF. As there are buttons on the page to navigate around the PDF, I would like to disable the page change by keyboard or mouse scroll.Is it possible to capture the page change event? or is there anyway to stop user from turning from page 1 to page 2 by mouse scroll or by page down/up keys on the keyboard for a multiple page document?Does Adobe SDK provide a solution on this issue?Thanks.

hi does anyone know the function to get platename colours used in pdf to show in an alert box?

Hello. I'm a beginner in javascript, and I have adobe acrobat X pro.I want to be able to search for a specific string within the pdf, and then save the sequence of numbers that come after that string for my file name. Then I would want to check if the following pages have that same exact sequence of numbers, and if there are then I want to extract all the pages with that certain number sequence into one pdf. However, I want to be able to keep looking for new number sequences after I have finished extracting the pages with the first number sequence. For example, page 1    NO: 0158Kpage 2    NO: 0158Kpage 3    NO: 0158Kpage 4    NO: 9090Vpage 5    NO: 223Mpage 6    NO: 223MUsing this example, pages 1, 2, and 3 would be extracted into one pdf together. Page 4 would be extracted by itself, and pages 5 and 6 would be extracted into one pdf.I kind of have an idea of how to do this, but I'm not quite sur
