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.

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

Hello,What on earth am I missing here?I don't think foo and baa and being outputted correctly with the appropriate backslashes (escaping?).when executed I need the calculate command to be applied as:"Calculate","AFSimple_Calculate(\"PRD\", new Array (\"hx\", \"rx\"))");above the represents the incrementing number that starts at 1, it is stored in the variable [inc], seen below.var targetArray = new Array("t1","t2","t3","t4","t5","t6","t7","t8");for (i = 0; i < targetArray.length; i++){var targetFields = this.getField(targetArray);inc = i + 1;var foo = "\"\h" + inc + "\"";var baa = "\"\r" + inc + "\"";targetFields.setAction("Calculate","AFSimple_Calculate(\"PRD\", new Array (foo, baa))");};Is it because foo and baa are not being pointed to their values from the 10th line?Thanks Everyone!M

I have developed a pdf form with various checkboxes in Acrobat Pro.  In one section, the response to a question is a YES (The form field is CBY) or NO (The form field is CBN)checkbox.  How do I require at least one of the checkboxes to be checked before submitting the form.  In another section, I have a checkbox for OTHER (The form field is Check Box18) with a space to enter text in Text32 (The form field is Text32).  How do I require a text to be completed if the 'Other' checkbox is checked.Please provide step by step since this is foreign to me.  Thanks.

I have an alert in document-level that opens if a certain button is not hidden and then when that button is hidden, the alert doesn't open.  So that works fine but when I tried adding a second alert, I get issues.  What I'm trying to accomplish is there are two parts to a pdf form (PART I and PART II).  If part 1 doesn't have a button hidden, then an alert will pop up when the document is opened.  After part 1 has been digitally signed, the button will hide and that alert won't popup anymore but a second alert will pop up if part 1's button hidden AND part 2's button is not hidden.  Once part 2 has been signed, part 2's button is hidden and no more alerts should pop up.It all works up to the last part.  The second alert still pops up even though both buttons are hidden.  Here's my code:var VerifyPartI = this.getField("Verify PART I");var VerifyPartII = this.getField("Verify PART II");if (VerifyPartI.hidden == false){if(app.alert("Inputted text",2,1,"T
