Hi,I have a fillable form PDF with buttons at the bottom of certain page that add a duplicate blank form page (giving the user more room to add information). The template page has both text fields and check boxes.When using the button, the additional page is added fine, but the check boxes on the first page are all cleared when they shouldn't be. Any thoughts as to why this might be happening? This is the Javascript code I am using.var expTplt = getTemplate("TemplatePage"); expTplt.spawn({nPage: pageNum + 1, bRename: true, bOverlay: false});Thanks!

I have a drop down field in a PDF form.  When a user selects from the drop down, a popup window appears asking additional questions and those answers are inputted into another field.  If they click cancel another window pops up asking if they're sure to cancel.  If they click the YES button, I want the drop down field to revert back to the default selection.I'm running two functions.  One is in the drop down's custom validation window called (fSystemRequest) and the other is called (fExitPortalSelect) that is running inside the (fSystemRequest) function.  So if they select YES or try to "X" out of the window, the (fExitPortalSelect) function is ran.  Here's the (fExitPortalFunction) code I have:function fExitPortalSelect() {    var vQuitPortalSelect = app.alert("Are you sure you want to quit?\n\nYou will not be able to gain access to the network until you answer these questions.\n\nClick 'Yes' to quit or 'No' to continue filling in the infor

HELP!We use a third party tool, Gnostice to take a PDF report created by SQL Report Services and embed the Adobe JavaScript necessary to automatically print the PDF when it is opened in a browser window.  This functionality has been working without flaw for many years and hasn't changed.  Recently, our customers started reporting that they now sometimes get blank pages or nothing prints at all. The code we use to render the PDF to the browser window is at the bottom of the post.We thought it might have been our upgrade from Adobe Reader 11 to Adobe DC; however, we downgraded and are still having the problem.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?  If so, what steps might we be able to take to troubleshoot and/or resolve the issue.Any assistance would be appreciated.RENDER C# CODE BELOWpublic void RenderPDF(byte[] buffer, string reportName, string contentType){     var s = new MemoryStream(buffer, true);     PDFDocument doc =

I'm using this script to show/hide a field on a timer, and it works fine, but now I'd like to have the field remain visible if populated (it's a drop down). Here's the script I'm using:        if (util.printd("",new Date())=="") {    this.getField("Text16").display=display.visible;    var timeout = app.setTimeOut("this.getField(\"Text16\").display=display.hidden;", 15000);} else this.getField("Text16").display=display.hidden;I have this attached to a popMenu button. Is it possible to continue to use this script but to add a bit to cancel out the timer when Text16 is populated? It'll then go back to hidden when reset or when blank. Thanks guys

We develop an MFC application that allows users to view PDFs from within it. We do this by creating an MFC modal window in the application, then hosting an instance of one of our objects that subclasses the Microsoft CHtmlView class. To display the PDF, we get path to the file and call the inherited "CHtmlView::Navigate2()" method. There has been no issue with this until recently, where some users are seeing the entire application crash occasionally when trying to view a PDF. NOTE: Adobe Reader XI (11.20.17) is installed.I had the user create a dump file using debug diagnostics, and it looks like there is an exception being thrown in an AcroPDF.dll thread, due to a call in the MakeAccessible.api plugin having a read access violation at a very low memory location:Unhandled exception at 0x5F126E1D (MakeAccessible.api) in dump_file_name_removed.dmp: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000018.If there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued.And th

I have a PDF form in the following situation. The user fills out the form, clicks a button that saves the file as a new file based on his/her lastname-firstname and then reopens the original. During the process the user needs to sign the form. I would like the "Fill & Sign" toolbar to remain visible on top. How can I accomplish that? Can this be done as a setting (in preferences) or in javascript?

Hello Since we are unable to create GS1 datamatrix in adobe itself I was trying to see if i could bring it from an external location. I know you can open a URL through the following javascript, app.launchURL("https://barcode.tec-it.com/en/DataMatrix?data=(01)03453120000011(17)120508(10)ABCD1234(410)9501101020917",true). This will generate a DataMatrix barcode, and I can always change the data by modifying the command to barcodedata = this.getField("barcode").valueAsString;app.launchURL("https://barcode.tec-it.com/en/DataMatrix?data ="+barcodedata);But now is there a way for it to automatically click the download button on the webpage once the page has been loaded. Also, some online barcode generators do not change the url when data is inputted in the text field.For instance, (https://www.online-qrcode-generator.com/gs1datamatrix) So is it possible to populate those text fields with values from the adobe form and then download the generated barcode.Then i would be able to import the dow

Hi!I need to calculate the sales tax of a field in my PDF form. We need to be able to enter the amount of sales tax in 87 (see below) and then have it automatically calculate in 88 (undefined_9) based off of the amount in 82 (undefined_4). Does anyone have a formula or script that I should use? Thanks!

Currently working on a script for the verify empty fields before printing to give a warning.what i purloined and modified from the forum was // check for empty fieldsvar emptyFields = [];for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {     var f= this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));     if (f.type!="button" && f.required ) {          if ((f.type=="text" && (f.value=="" || f.value==" ")) || (f.type=="checkbox" && f.value=="Off")) emptyFields.push(f.name);}}if (emptyFields.length>0) {     app.alert("Important - You must fill in the following fields or your reimburstment will be delayed:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n"));} else this.print();I need to add for it to check combo boxes for the answer "-" as that the default setting or empty setting.  Is that possible?

I have created a spread sheet in acrobat. What I'd like to do is have a rollover (button) at the Item slot and when I move the cursor over it, it would trigger the fill color of the other text fields in that row to show. And, when I move the cursor off the button that particular row would go back to transparent (or white). I'd like to do the same thing with the text. It would just make reading the amounts in the spread sheet easier. Can this be done in a anti-complicated why because I'm learning javascripting. Can someone out there help me get this done? Thanks, guys.

We are using Interop.Acrobat.dll (Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Type Library) V 1.1.0.0 to access PDF files programmatically.   We have a requirement to create a rectangle annotation in PDF (programmatically) similar to the snapshot pasted below.   Request you to share the API guidance document (with examples) to integrate the above mentioned requirement with our Microsoft.NET application.

In order to ensure a predefined viewstate reaches the same location for any user, I need to check their display resolution, and modify the scrollposition value based on the resolution it was set with.  This is a thing I need to do thousands of times, and obviously we can't use bookmarks.Example:  At halfway down an 11" page at 96dpi, pageViewY == ~528;If the user has set their resolution to 110dpi, then it needs to be increased by 114%, or ~606.I have been through the JS API and can find no reference to this value.  I had tried using a script that would just set the viewstate to a given value, check the resulting position like so:var zeroState = eval(viewState.toSource());zeroState.pageViewZoom = 1;zeroState.pageViewZoomType = 0;zeroState.pageViewPageNum = 1;zeroState.pageViewY = 3000 ;viewState = eval(zeroState.toSource())var testState = eval(viewState.toSource());var n,diff;n = testState.pageViewPageNum-1;diff = 3000-(testState.pageViewY);if(n > 0){  &nbsp

The locally installed program ran fine for several months (Windows 7).  The problem started today for no apparent reason.  Shortly after opening the program, the license activation window pops up. I click on Accept.  The file that I am try to work on closes and the cycle repeats,  Uninstalling and reinstalling the program had no effect.  What do I do to fix this?

On the form I am creating, I'm trying to create a criteria that if a field has a certain word in it, it changes color.  For example:  If a classification is Minimum, I want the color of the field box to be blue, if the status is medium, I want the filed box to be brown, Maximum, yellow.  How do I create a javascript for this, I'm sure it's simple, but this is the first form I've created with ADOBE.  Thank you

As a fledgling scripter, I'm creating a PDF form that acts as a calculator from which lay-user can compare a few similar consumer products based a couple variable choices they may make. Within the form, I have built a hidden input form to which a [non-developer] Admin can adjust the data in fields of each of the displayed choices before hiding the input form and distributing to the intended lay-users who would use the calculator to make consumer choices. This whole project is coming along nicely, as I intended. But, my question... Is it possible to "group" fields in a way that would allow me to treat them as one for the purpose of making visible or hidden? Example, in that hidden Admin-input form, each of 4 potential products has, say, 25 fields in which the calculable source data may be changed by Admin before distribution. So, currently, if I have 4 products to compare, I have 100 individual fields to make visible/hidden based on Admin's password field and button. My current script m

Acrobat Pro just started crashing this morning for no apparent reason.I am running an older version of Acrobat Pro (9.5.5) on Mac OS 10.11.6.Any ideas on why this may be happening?Also, this happens almost immediately after I open Acrobat Pro, regardless of which file I open.

I have created a dynamic form in Acrobat DC where selecting a button will make certain fields required and/or suggested (using green border around the field). I was able to do this successfully with everything but the combo box. I need to be able to make certain fields (text and checkboxes) required or suggested based on the selection in the combo box. I haven't been able to find exactly what I'm looking for googling this. Any help is greatly appreciated!
