Questions

After Adobe "help" chat basically told me they won't help and to go elsewhere AND exhausting all community suggestions that I tried. I had a weird idea that worked.  After removing Adobe and removing every Adobe related file I could find...I reinstalled....AGAIN...but this time I told it to load as the TRIAL version which installed and asked if I had a code, I put it in and....NO ERROR! Everything worked as it did before the code first showed up. Of course I lost preferences but the programs work again.

encountering a problem while automating PDF form filling and attempting to open the print dialog in Adobe Acrobat using Python. Despite ensuring the correct installation of Adobe Acrobat and validating the code, we encountered difficulties accessing the PrintWithDialog method. However, unable to resolve the issue with the PrintWithDialog method and encountered an AttributeError when attempting to access it.

Hi all. I have created a digital form for use in the iPad where myself and users can put a signed signature in the document. I have created a reset button for the form, it adds the signatures option to reset but will not reset the signatures and they remain. I have tried JS from another post and added JS to another button to test but still does not delete the signatures. Is this possible by Java Scripts ?

It is doing what i was trying to achieve, that is, to redact header and footer of all PDF i have selected. In acrobat, i created an Action, select all the files i want to redact.

I am working on a PDF form and am stuck on one of my calculations. There are two fields "Desired Start Date", which is a date entered by the user. The "Desired End Date" is calculated to be one year from date entered by user. I have that figured out-- however, before the user enters a date, I would like that field to remain empty. Currently it fills in with 01/00/000. How can I get that field to not calculate unless a date is entered by the user? So far, I've tried this but can't get the field to remain blank://if field “Desired Start Date” is empty, leave “to” field blankvar myStartDate = new Date(this.getField("Desired Effective Date").value);if (((myStartDate == 0) && (getField("myStartDate").valueAsString === "")) { event.value = "";//if field “Desired Start Date” has a date entered, use the date to calculate one year from date entered.}else {this.getField("to").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date(myStartDate.getFullYear()+1,myStartDate.getMonth(),myStartDate.getDate

We have developed plugins for Acrobat and Reader and are noticing the new UI experience being rolled out gradually in Acrobat. It appears the latest release does include some support for third party plugins, however currently the user would have to click 3 times to access the plugin menu before every action. Is there any information available on plans for third party plugin support in the new UI experience? For example, will it be possible to make third party plugin more accessible, for example in a toolbar rather than always having to go through the menu. We would like to understand what is coming before it shows up on client desktops. Thanks.

Is there any problem with using Visual Studio Professional 2017 to develop C++ plug-ins for Adobe Acrobat?

Hello,I created an action button that clears a form. I used the JS below that provides the user a warning before they clear the form. However, if they select "no" it still clears it. How do I fix it? Here's what I have so far: if( app.alert({cMsg: "Are you sure you want to clear this form?",cTitle: "Reset Form Warning",nIcon: 2,nType: 2}) == 4) {this.resetForm();}

I created a plugin in VisualStudio 2022 Community Edition which adds a menu to Acrobat. The menu shows OK when I deploy the debug build. However, when I deploy the release build, the menu doesn't show in Acrobat.  The plugin has a unique name and there are no dependencies that I am aware of - the plugin reads some registry settings and executes an external exe based on the settings, that's all it does. Any help would be appreciated.Pete

Hi guysI am currently working on a project that requires the implementation of a read-aloud feature for PDF documents. The PDFs I'm dealing with include images with alt-text. My goal is to extract both the text and alt-text from the PDF while maintaining the correct reading order to enable the read-aloud functionality. To accomplish this, I would appreciate your guidance on the following:1. Extracting the text from the PDF while preserving the reading order that I've set using Adobe Acrobat.2. Extracting the alt-text associated with the images in the PDF, also following the correct reading order.3. Combining the extracted text and alt-text in the right order, which has been set using accessibily, to generate the content for a text-to-speech system. Regards

Hi,setting the value does not work in the "Validate" event.

Usage of Adobe for Multiple Digital signature, Verify signatures & programatically (C#) adding content to placeholdersHello All,  I have a requirement where a specific template is used to create place holder for dynamic data and also place holders for digital signature. As the data is filled dynamically my system whould ask the user weather they want to sign the documnt and then the signed document to be preserved After the sceond user review he/she should be able to sign the document. After the final signature My tool should verify all the signatures are valid .Am hoping Adobe SDK is best for this implementation as it involves pdf and multiple digital signature .It would be very much helpful if smeone can get the relevent dpcuments for placeholder creation in PDF , How to digitally sign from C# program and How to verify the signatures. How this to be stored to hold the validity of signatures.

Recently Acrobat Reader was updated to 2023 ver automatically.

I have 2 plugins, one written in C++ which does some processing of the document and one written in JavaScript which opens a modal with textbox and a button, where the user can enter some information and press OK. Is there a way to either - 1. Store it in some default location from where the C++ plugin can read that information (or)2. Pass this information directly to the C++ plugin. This is for Adobe Acrobat Pro and not for reader.

Vor allem die Einstellungen in der Werkzeugleiste in der rechten Spalte bleiben nicht erhalten bzw. es erscheint imm die Defaultauswahl. Auch das Intro, das nach einer (Neu)Installation erscheint, lässt sich nicht unterdrücken. Unter Windows 11 Home läuft die Sache OK, aber auf dem neuen Laptop mit Windows 11 Pro nicht mehr. Woran kann das liegen? [Email address removed]
