Does a script exist or can it be created for the Mac environment to toggle between the internal and an external JS editor, and perhaps place it in a button? It would be nice to shorten up the process of opening & closing Preferences to switch back and forth.

Does anyone have an example of converting spot colors to process in Acrobat DC with JavaScript? The API shows an example, but not with ink actions (I'm guessing this is how it's done with JavaScript). My other colorConvertAction JavaScripts work well (i.e. converting color space of images, etc), but I've had to use Preflight for document spot color conversion. Would prefer to just add this to my existing JavaScripts if possible.

It appears that although Adobe says that Acrobat is compatible with the new Mac OS High Sierra, there is a growing list of issues when it comes to Acrobat JavaScript. The other day I found that the transparent option for colors is unavailable in the color dialog boxes, and is known to accompany High Sierra upgrades. Today I find that exportAsFDF( ) in various scripts is throwing a GeneralError: Operation failed.The things that I am finding defective are making it very difficult to work on scripts. I tried to work around this by deactivating my Acrobat DC in the Mac environment, and activating it in the Windows-under-Parallels environment, but it seems the same problems persist either way, apparently attributable to High Sierra.I'm on the verge of rolling back to Sierra but hoping for some assurance that there is reason to believe these issues will be resolved quickly. I would appreciate any insight or hope that the experts on this forum might offer on this subject.Thank you.

Hi,I've read an earlier discussion about disabel checkboxes but the discussion was to advanced for a rookie like me,so please, in a very beginner-friendly way, please explain with a javascript how to do the following:(In Adobe Acrobate DC I'm doing a fillabe form.)There are three checkboxes named: checkbox1, checkbox2 and checkbox3.I wish the following to happen:When checkbox1 is checked:then checkbox2 and checkbox3 become disabled (by disabled I mean the checkboxes become not checkable/not clickable)          andalso at the same time checkbox2 and checkbox3 become unchecked if they were earlier checked.Thanks/Dennis

I have an annual subscription. I tried to convert a 15mb pdf file to excel. Both from Android + Adobe Reader and Windows +10 Chrome. In both cases I keep receiving the message "Conversion failure". I tried Adobe Support Chat. They are able to help and suggested posting the problem here. Can anyone help? Even a cursory search reveals that the problem is pretty common, perennial for many years, and still not solved by Adobe. OCR disabling etc. do not seem to work.

I just purchased a new Brother MFC-J885DW printer, and all the drivers are up to date with that printer, it is brand new and I triple-checked this. My PDFs are printing blank. I checked if there were Adobe updates required, they are up to date. Help!

I just purchased Adobe Export so I can convert a PDF whose contents can't seem to be copied and pasted into Word the old school way. I've tried three times and I get a "Conversion failed" message. Obviously, this is not what I planned to spend 20 euros. Anyone any idea what could be wrong? Surely, if Adobe can only convert documents I could copy and paste myself, this would have been a totally unnecessary investment and I'd feel conned as a result....

hello, I have conga updating fields on the my pdf template.  After conga, the JavaScript on the template should execute on the conga updates. Conga will update 3 check boxes and the java script should use the conga updates to update the 3 check boxes.

Hello all,I'm currently in the process of creating a form with multiple different form fields and I only want certain fields to populate, based on what action the user selects from the primary field. I have been using the following script: if (this.getField("Status Change").value == "Enter Value"){event.target.display = display.visible;}else if (this.getField("Status Change").value == "Enter Value") {event.target.display = display.visible;}else{event.target.display = display.hidden;}This script does exactly what I need it to do, but since there are a bunch of different form fields in this document, I have to manually add this script to each form field under Calculate > Custom calculation script. I am looking for an easier way to do this if possible. Thanks!

Hi (Acrobat CC)I've become stuck on an issue. Please excuse me, I'm a designer not programmer, and have struggled to find a solution.I have created a form which contains an 'on page open' javascript to fill a field with the following:var today = new Date();this.getField("Today").value = "GCF-01-" + util.printd("mmddyyyy", today);this.getField("Today").readonly = true;this performs the task I require, but I want this field 'locked' when populated, so that when the form is opened again the original date remains rather than being updated.Would someone be able to help please?MTIA Steve
