Questions

Hi,With this post I would like to ask a question.I have a 50 page PDF document and each page contains 4 columns of 15 fields. The total of each column of fields should be summarized. when using a script in Acrobat to calculate the fields based on the field names. The script works fine, but when entering values into the fields, using the tab key, it takes 3-4 seconds to navigate between the text fields.I'm using this script...event.value = myCalculation(this, "01-A-1");function myCalculation(myDoc, myText){     var myResult = 0;     for (var i=0; i<myDoc.numFields; i++) {         var f = myDoc.getField(myDoc.getNthFieldName(i));               if (f.name.indexOf(myText) == 0){                     myResult = myResult + Number(f.value);&nbsp

How do I set a formula to always round up to a whole number?I am not sure if this is the right place but I am creating a fillable PDF that uses a lot of formulas. This specific formula needs to always round up to the next whole number. For example, if the formula comes back as 14.01 it would still need to round up to 15. Does anyone know if I need to do a custom validation script for this? Or how to do that? Thank you!!!

I have no java script or programming experience.Trying to have a text field pre-fill based on the selection of any multiple dropdown boxes. Trying to auto fill the authority name that needs to sign when one or more dropdown has the appropriate selection. I can get it down with just one dropdown field but trying to make the pre fill appear if the selection appears in the other drop down.var selectedPackage = this.getField ("Dropdown5.0").value;if (selectedPackage=="K - RST") event.value= "COL, Chief of Staff";// etcelse event.value = "";I tried to repeat the script for each dropdown box name but either it just works for the first one or all 5 of the dropdown needs to be selected to "K"

I have an adobe form that needs to be signed off by the employee, manager, divisional head and HR and should all be mandatory fields. My problem is that I am unable to make these mandatory for each separate person as they use the form and then submit it to the next person. i.e. employee fills out the forms and is required to sign their name and date (mandatory) before submitting this to their manager, when the manager received the form they are required to sign their name and date (mandatory) before submitting this to the divisional head?

I have a field that populates a date when the form is created. I dont want it to repopulate every time the PDF opens after that.My code:var f = this.getField("ExamDate"); f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy)", new Date());How do I do the null check?

I have the following in a folder level script in a privileged context:this.exportAsFDF({aFields: ["txtTP.Agent.Broker", "txtTP.Agent.BrokerFullName", "txtTP.Agent.Address", "txtTP.Agent.City", "txtTP.Agent.State", "txtTP.Agent.Zip", "txtTP.Agent.BrokerNo"], cPath: "" + parentPath + agentsFolder + fdfbroker});This works as intended EXCEPT that it is exporting values from several other fields ( examples: "txtTP.Agent.FirstName", "txtTP.Agent.LastName") that are not included in the intended array. These other fields do have the same non-terminal parent "txtTP.Agent" but my understanding is that the array should limit the export to only the named fields. I can work-around this by first resetting the excluded fields, but that shouldn't be necessary. I cannot see that a parameter is missing whose absence is causing these other fields to be included, and would appreciate any advice to correct this.Thank you.

I'm trying to create a fillable form where there are two circle shapes and a line of text next to them - somewhat of a timeline checklist. I'd like my team to be able to change the color of the circles from white to either red, yellow or green - preferably via a drop down. If drop down isn't available, that's fine, but I need another solution BESIDES making color-filled comment shapes. These are checklists that we'll be customizing many times a week so we need to make it as user-friendly as possible. This is a closeup of the template that needs to be a form with editable colors:And this is what it should look like once edited, as a deliverable:

Hi all,I have been trying to get the 'adobepdfsilent' example to work without any success. When i run it it jams up in the print process routine 'PrinttoAdobePDF'.if i rem out the 'createnowindow' and 'windowstyle properties I see the printer dialog and can click through it but if it's left in silent mode it just stops. I'm assuming it's actually waiting on something. Private Sub PrintToAdobePDF(ByVal InputfilePath As String)     'Prints InputFilePath to the AdobePDF printer.      'Since we just gathered all this info programmatically,      'this function assumes the file is present, that it has an      'associated application and that the current user has print privileges.          'Define properties for the print process     Dim pProcInfo As New ProcessStartInfo          pProcInfo.FileName = InputfilePath&n

I just bought Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, and i can not find the 24 digit serial number. I can only find 2 different 19 digit codes, but it will not accept them in the student redemption? Where can I find the code?

I found a PDF document containing a really complex code (at least from my point of view) where all the fields contains both "OnFocus" and OnBlur" the following action:If(handleEvent!=undefined)handleEvent(event);And the rest of the code is placed on a document level (more or less 15'000 lignes).One part of te code is producing a readable barcode into Acrobat Reader. But I always thought that wasn't possible (grey rectangle on Reader, but readable only with DC).Due to the complexity of the code, I am totally unable to understand how everything works.As only the part regarding the codebarre routine interest me, is there, to your knowledge, an example of code freely available (even pay) able to produce a datamatrix (2d) readable and printable with Reader ?Thanks in advance for your advices.

I was wondering if it is possible to have a Javascript tool panel that will "float" and allow the user to still navigate the pdf? I am wanting this panel to only display on page 2 of my document. I would also love if it could collapse or minimize out of the way. Not sure if it is possible.Any help or guidance would be much appreciated!Here is an example of one of the buttons I would like to have on the floating panel.var ocgSchematicArray = this.getOCGs(this.pageNum);var getButtonName = this.getField("GROUND WIRES");for ( var i=0; i < ocgSchematicArray.length; i++) {if ( ocgSchematicArray.name == "Black (Ground)")if (ocgSchematicArray.state == true){ocgSchematicArray.state = false;getButtonName.buttonSetCaption("GROUND ON");}else if (ocgSchematicArray.state == false){ocgSchematicArray.state = true;getButtonName.buttonSetCaption("GROUND OFF");}}Also I would like to note that this will be delivered to a user online so folder level will not be accessible to me for security reasons.I am

I'm not familiar with coding languages at all, but I'm trying to make a conditional equation on an Acrobat form.  This is what I've pieced together by looking at other forums.  Could I have someone fix whatever is wrong with it? Please. There are just the 3 values from the "size" field that return one of the 3 values for the "size mod" field.if (Size = "M") {    Size Mod = "0";}else if (Size = "L") {    Size Mod = "-1";}else if (Size = "S") {    Size Mod = "1";}

I am brand new to all of this and I am trying to write a simple script to export the data in a PDF to an XML file.When trying to create a new script all I get is a box that pops up saying GoTo then once I click this it asks for a Line Number and that's as far as it goes. I have read that this should open the JavaScript editor and it does not.Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

I have created an Action script to place an X in text fields on page 1 if a corresponding check box is ticked which is located on  other pages of the document.The pdf  file has multiple text fields on page 1 with the name of the text field beginning with C1.In the rest of the document there are multiple check boxes with the name of the check box beginning with C1.There are the same number of text fields and check boxes.If the first check box  is ticked, then the first text box on page 1 should then have an X in the field.If the second check box is ticked, then the second text box on page 1 should then have an X in the field etc.I am  unsure how to capture the check box as a variable into the text field, if anyone can provide assistance that will be most appreciated.for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) { var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i); var f = this.getField(fname);if (fname==null) continue;if ( f.type == "checkbox" && fname.substring(0,2) === "C1"

I'm using this script that when opens doc to the first page then automatically goes to the second page. Works fine, but the first page has text on it I would like to be able to read but the doc goes to the second page so fast there isn't enough time to read the text on the first page. What I need help with is how to change this script that would open to the first page (say for 5 seconds) then go to page two? Can someone tell me how to do this? Thanks.Here's the script I'm using and have it in the doc level: if(this.getField("Counter").value>3)    {this.getField("Counter").setFocus();}I tried to change the "3" to "5" (or higher) but nothing seems to work.
