Questions

I have a reset button on my PDF that resets all form fields and would also like to delete any signatures using the "fill and sign" scribble tool (not the digital signature).I am using the following code to try and accomplish this, but is not working (assuming the signature is not an annotation but an image?)Is it possible to remove the scribble signature?this.syncAnnotScan();var annots = this.getAnnots({nPage:0});if (annots) {    var num = annots.length;    for (var i = num - 1; i > -1; i--) {       annots.destroy();    }}

Currently I can not print and create a PDF file which I could before my Windows crashed and I had to reinstall all my software.  I used File, Print, gave the name of the file and location where the file was to be saved and a PDF file would be created.  I only get an error message in the print queue or nothing happens at all. 

Hi all:Working with Acrobat X Pro; would like to have a long, locked text field  ("txtWarning") with a default value advising the user to re-open the form with Reader/Acrobat and make sure javascript is enabled for helpful navigation and calculations. (So the default assumption is javascript is either disabled or it's been opened by something other than Reader or Acrobat - aka friggin' Preview.)Seems it should be possible to then, on document open, test to see if javascript is enabled, and if it is, change the value of this.getField("txtWarning").value to something other than the warning --- a helpful hint or something.  Been reading a lot about OCG layers, etc. for the problem of Preview in MAC or javascript being disabled but can't find anything on just determining if javascript is enabled, which would seem to be the first step.Thanks!Brian

I am working with Adobe Acrobat for about 6 years (since the time of acrobatusers.com). I have created thousands of forms with javascript. Today I faced a strange problem that broke me. I have written this code in a textbox calculate eventapp.alert("Hello World");According to my experience it should show a message "Hello Word" every time the form is opened. But it is not showing any message. I am on Windows 10 (64 bit) with Acrobat 11 and Reader DC.I have tried it on my old laptop Windowns 10 (32bit) but the problem is same.Please, please help me.

Help with JavaScript

Page items display changes based on item selected in dropdown  box. For example, if I select US, the 2nd dropdown box will list all the states, if I select China, the 2nd dropdown box will show another set of value for province.

Hey gals & guys,I am making a self-assessment test with 5 questions. Each question has 3 answers. There is no right or wrong answer. Each of the answers is 0, 1 or 2 points. Is there a way to use JavaScript to calculate the final results and output some text in a field and fill it with color? And is there a way to decide the color based on text? Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

I want to create Adobe forms for internal employee use.  These forms will not be published on the web.  I created my first form and since it had fairly simple calculations I was able to muddle through it.  For my next project, there are some relatively simple formulas if I were using excel.  However, I need help with actually getting the process started.  Specific questions are:1. Must I add custom calculation script to each individual box or can I use the JavaScript tool to write code for the entire form?2. Where do I start since I am not publishing to html?  My research indicates that JavaScript should be placed into html code...do I really need to do this?3. Before I get overly ambitious (it may be too late), I want to make sure it is possible to do what I want to do.  So based on the below, I want the PaymentD_"x" boxes to use the Repayment_Start_Date +14 days...thus a payment every two weeks.  I think with these points answered, I will be ab

Hi all,We install Acrobat (either standard or the pro version) on WIN 7 or WIN 10. By default window creates an "Adobe PDF" printer. When our application (written in C++ using VS2015), prints to the default printer, in this case "Adobe PDF"; normally the print dialog comes up and you can specify name and folder location for the PDF output. I can disable the Print Dialog box and system uses the default applications window title. There are various options in Acrobat to setup folder path and other features of the Acrobat. But, I like to configure the output file name and path through our application.I have downloaded and spent many hours reading.... no luck yet. Could somebody point me to the right direction.Any help is appreciated,..Terry

Hi!Sorry for this noob-question, but that is what I am.Regarding Acrobat Pro DC and field data export.I want to export field data to a CSV, with the field names in one vertical column and the field values in the next vertical column. Like this:Column A | Column BName 1    | Value 1Name 2    | Value 2I've been playing with the code below, switching places with ; and /n and /r but nothing gives the output I want.I can get all data in one vertical column or, with the code below, names and values in two separate vertical rows.Any tips?var fieldValues = [];  var fieldValuesNames = [];  for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++)  {   fieldValues.push(this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i)).value);    var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));    fieldValuesNames.push(f.name);    }this.createDataObject("output.csv",fieldValuesNames.join(";") + "\r\n" + fieldValues.join(";")); this.exportDataObject({ cNam

I have three fields. Two of them are input fields. Field1 is to enter the foot measurement of length of board. Field2 is to enter the specific size I want to get out of Field1. Like for example 8' / 3' = 2pcs. I don't want the scrap amount, just to show 2pcs. I have the following script to do the division,var v1 = +this.getField("Field1").value;var v2 = +this.getField("Field2").value;if (v2==0) event.value = "";else event.value = v1 / v2;the script works to do the division, but it rounds up. Unless I select one decimal place under the Number pane. But, I don't want that result. I would just like to see the whole number. Not the number with the decimal place. Does anyone know the javascript to enable me to do the calculation the way I'd like? Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi,I have users who have old versions of an action wizard (version 1.10 and version 1.11) I created.  I now have an update which is version 2.0.  I want to make it so that when they import version 2.0, the code looks for version 1.10 and 1.11 and deletes them.I realize there is a way to manually do this by going to Edit Actions and deleting the old action wizards.  However, I don't think my users will actually do it such that there will be 3 versions on their system.  I can imagine they will use the other versions which have some bugs.Hopefully someone can help.  I am using Adobe Acrobat XI.Thx.Sue

Hello,is there a plug-in or software that allows dictation on a PDF file? Regards,Jeff P

I have an editable .pdf form that has a Submit button with a Java script running to send the completed form to a specific email address in our company.  I need to change the email address to another.  I have changed the script to the appropriate email address but that does not change the function on the form, it still submits the old form name to the old address.  It is possible that the script is not running, but where else would it be getting its direction from?  I am unable to see where else this data should be changed.  Please HELP!

I'm creating a form within Acrobat Pro 9 and need assistance in a few areas. The form is for my wedding videography business. I've created the form which has a calculating table to calculate the total cost of the production. First,I offer 3 Packages (Bronze, Silver and Gold). Each Package has a radio button and I want only 1 of the buttons select at a time. How do I do that? Is it better to use a radio button or a checkbox?Second,Once a button is selected, I want the Name of the Package and the Price of that Package to auto fill in the table.Third,If the Mic'd Groome radio button is selected I would like to auto-fill the price in the table.Please provide detailed instructions. I'm limited on programming skills. I'm guessing some of this will be if/then statements. You tell me though.I've provided a screen capture as well as notes that more clearly illustrate my objective.Thank You,Dwayne

Hi JS experts.I'm having hard time understanding how Willprint document action actually works.As it sounds, it should allow a js code to be triggered just after the Print button is hit, and obviously before the real printing.But I got this situation where code is triggered after the printing... which would be a Didprint behavior as I understand it...Code is about spawning a template:a=getTemplate("myTemplate");a.spawn();Doc prints without the spawned page and then adds it.Thanks in advance for your enlightening help...Vinny

I've been able to use the GetNthWord function to extract invoice numbers from most pdf documents but now I am encountering image documents that have varying numbers of words (post OCR) before the desired invoice information (different addresses cause the word count to change).  I was told once that you can crop the document to the rough area where the invoice number should be, ocr the area and then grab the invoice number.  the OCR part and grab the nth word part I think I can handle.  I can find any examples of cropping with JavaScript and then restoring the document to orig full.  I need to do batches of documents this way.

Acrobat X was working fine last week in Windows 10 and now this morning it won't launch in windows 10 when I run the trouble shooter it says its compatible with windows 7 how do I fix this?

I am working on a form to do some simple calculations based on quantity and price of several fields.In the form, each product could have a single quantity or multiple quantities (if there are product variations such as color, size, etc).I have set up the field so that each product group has a unique name, with the various quantity boxes having a suffix.:Ball Price 001Ball Quantity 001-1Ball Quantity 001-2etc...Ball Total 001The script then loops through all fields, finds the appropriate quantity fields based off the event field then should put them into a total quantity variable.However it is not functioning (returns undefined).Here is the code I have in the custom calculation:// On The Product Calculation Sectionsvar s = event.target.name;var suffix = s.substring(s.length-3);var prefix = s.substring(0,5);var price = this.getField(prefix + "Price " + suffix).value;var quantity = 0;for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {  var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);  var newName = f

To start, I'm a noob when it comes to JavaScript. So, sorry right off that bat!What I'm trying to do is email certain individuals based upon country, then state, then zip code within a range. For example, for folks in Texas, only a few handle accounts within a 5 digit zip code range with a prefix of 750**. I've set the field variable in the code for zip_code but, I'm not sure how to have it look for zip codes under a "wildcard" search. The following is the code and I've indicated the lines below in red and bold that I need help with. Please help!var state = this.getField("state").value;console.println("state: = " + state);var country = this.getField("country").value;console.println("country: = " + country);var zip_code = this.getField("zip_code").value;console.println("zip_code: = " + zip_code);var email = "";if (country == "          - Select a Country -" && state == "          - Select a

So, i got a button which grabs a employee number from a field and adding it to another field. I want my from to add a number behind the number it just grabbed, but so far i can only get it to add the number to current number instead of putting it behind it. Everything else i've done is wrking (Got an alert if the field the button grabs data from is empty and got it to grab the number and paste it in the field) but from here im lost. Everything i've tried just aint working. This is my current code.var f = this.getField("Medarbejder nr").valueAsString;var v = this.getField("Løbenummer").valueAsString;var msg = "Udfyld medarbejder nummer først";if (this.getField("Medarbejder nr").valueAsString=="") {this.getField("Løbenummer").valueAsString=="" && app.alert(msg,1)}else {    this.getField("Løbenummer").value = util.printf(this.getField("Medarbejder nr").value +1);}I understand the +1 in the last line is what is wrong, but i dont know what to replace it with.Thanks.Ed

I need a date field to calculate that date plus 45 days, and have the new date populate in another date field.

I've been searching for a few days now, but every solution I've come across is years old and none of them have worked for me. Here's the issue I'm facing:I need to create an interactive PDF file that carries a large number of hyperlinks to a folder on a network drive. The PDF features various versions of a client logo and needs to link to both .ai and .png files of each version, but I do not want it to open the logo files themselves — only the folder they are contained in.I have tried pasting direct paths as hyperlinks within InDesign as well as in Acrobat, but the result is never right. When this gets sent to anyone using Windows (I'm on OSX Yosemite 10.10.3), it either doesn't recognize the path (OSX uses forward slashes) or replaces every backslash with "%5". For example:file:///G:%5FolderOne%5FolderTwo%5FolderThree instead of file:///G:\FolderOne\FolderTwo\FolderThreeTo summarize, The PDF has four versions of a client logo. Each as an Illustrator file and a PNG. I need to link my c
