Questions

I am writing a C# application that needs to use Adobe Acrobat DC to open a PDF file and save it as a text file, using Acrobat's file conversion. How do I do this? Can anybody show me some sample code using the SDK? I have already looked through the sample code provided with the SDK but I don't see anything that helps me convert a PDF file to a .txt file.

Hello,I would like to synchronize external events (from a WebSocket) and the advancement of my presentation in Acrobat.I'd like to use the AVPageViewGoTo function when I get an event from this WebSocket.Therefore, I created a C++ class  handling my WebSocket connection. In this class, I have a method binding the WebSocket's events to a function passed as a parameter.In my plugin, I have a function ("GoToPage") which looks like this:void GoToPage(int pageNumber){AVPageView page = AVDocGetPageView(AVAppGetActiveDoc());AVPageViewGoTo(page,pageNumber - 1);}I pass it as a parameter (as a std::function<void(int)>) to my WebSocket client.My problem is that whenever the "AVPageViewGoTo(page,pageNumber - 1);" line is called from the client, my plugin crashes and I have an access read violation (even if page is not null).I guess that this problem is due to the fact that I try to call a function of Adobe Acrobat's API outside the main thread (as explained here https://forums.adobe.com/

Hi Guys,Thanks for your help firstly. I have almost finished my pdf but have one last step.On the first part of the .pdf there is a bunch of yes/no questions. These are coded for colours and to give a final risk rating depending on the answers.I'd like to script a box on the last page that is a summary of must do risk controls, however I am having trouble with making it multiline.Essentially, I'd like it to be something like.if(this.getField("OCTA").value == "No") {  event.value = "Radio carriage required, monitor ATC freq 15 mins prior to flight."} else {event.value = "Nil"}then add another line if(this.getField("Non_CTRL_AD").value == "No") {    event.value = "Radio carriage required, monitor FIA and CTAF 15 mins prior to flight." } else {event.value = "Nil"}I'm obviously doing something wrong here as it only calculates the first one. I'm obviously a noob at Javascript but am so close to finishing the form.There are three or four of these questions that would give

I'm using a simple javascript to validate a field, and turn on a checkbox based on the value of the field.  However, I'd like the validation to loop or cycle through multiple fields prior to turn on the checkbox.  Here's what I have: this.getField("Check Box3").checkThisBox(0, (event.value=="0"));this.getField("Check Box4").checkThisBox(0, (event.value>="1"));

Hello,I hope that somebody can help me, with the next questions.I'm looking for a script that can automatic splitting and save a document (in this case 126 pages) into a maximum off 6 pages so that's means 21 (126/6) separate documents.If the splitting in to 6 pages is possible, than the next question is: On the third page off every document is a description, is it possible that this description can be the name off the file? What I want is if I save the file, than it's namend "AMENDE3333666446727181". As an example see the attachment (in Dutch), I have marked the description.... Note: the description is different every time.

I am making a document that generates pay periods and the numbers get off when I get to Daylight Savings Time. When I enter the first date, the next box adds 13, the next adds 1 to start the next pay period, next 13, and so on. I am calculating this using milliseconds and was wondering if I can add something to disable DST or at least calculate is using days so this wouldn't be a problem. Can anyone help me?

Does anyone now the javascript formula to have a form field in Adobe Acrobat Pro calculate "Future Value" given present value, years & interest?

In a very simple Delphi program that holds an instance of TAcroPDF, if I set the .src property to a file, all is well and the pdf displays in my application.However if I call any procedure on the ActiveX control (I've tried LoadFile, Print, PrintWithDialog, GotoNextPage, GotoPreviousPage) then the application crashes after closing. This even happens if I call a procedure without loading a file. And calling Free() on the ActiveX control also throws an exceptionThe program code hasn't changed. The only difference is installing Adobe Reader DC ActiveX (version X and XI worked fine for years). I have tested this on another computer to confirm. As soon as Adobe Reader DC is installed, the problem starts.The error is:Exception EAccessViolation in module xxx.exe at 51F04CE6.Access violation at address 51F05CE6. Read of address 51F05CE6.Code below:unit Unit1;interfaceuses  Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,  Dialogs, StdCtrls, OleCtrlsAdobe, Ac

Hello everyone, I'm creating an Assessment form (fillable form) for work and a review of this assessment is required six months after. The software i'm using is Adobe Acrobat Pro and the software it'll be used by at my workplace is Acrobat Reader DC. I'd like to add a button that reads 'Set a reminder to review assessment' to send a custom email to an email address and on a date identified by the worker. It can be identified by a pop-up window asking for this information or I can add fields for the workers to input this information before pressing the button. Let us name these fields futuredate and workeremail.The body and subject of the email could be from an outlook email file  (common directory for all workers) or something within the code, whichever one is easier. If it is something within the code, It can read "Reminder: review assessment for client # (there's a field with the client number, its name is clientID)I'm a noob and I am probably asking for too much, any advice or

Is there a JS available or another method for counting bookmarks in Acrobat DC?

I use adobe to mark up a document in red and sometimes I have to add documents to the pdf as proof of some markups. Sometimes (usually at the most inconvenient time) the already saved markups turn to jibberish. Why is it doing this and how do I stop it? "X's" come up all over the mark ups and sometimes just random letters and what I placed on the document is no longer legible.

Hello,I'm using Acrobat Reader DC,I've the dropdown list ("dropdown1") with 3 options, for each option I did some coding, for example for option "system support"if (this.getField("Dropdown1").value == "System Support") {app.alert("WELCOME KIT\n" + "Essential support agreement information",4, 0, "System Support");}It works, BUT when I choose in dropdown list "system support" the code is triggered AFTER I click anywhere in the pdf (it's not done with the click and I need it to be excecuted when I choose that "System support" option).In options of the dropdown list I've selected "commit selected value immidieatly" but I'm missing something...I tried some ideas in the internet like:if(event.willCommit){   switch(event.value)   {   case "System Support":    {app.alert("WELCOME KIT\n" + "Essential support agreement information",4, 0, "System Support");};   break;I believe I'm doing something wrong. Could you please help me?

I'm working with Acrobat X.In Tools > Protection > Search and Remove Text, you have the option to search for regular expression patterns found here:C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Preferences\Redaction\ENU\SearchRedactPatterns.xmlI want to create an Action that calls that list of Acrobat regular expressions. In the Action Wizard, when creating a new Action (Protection > Search & Remove Text), you don't get the option to look for those patterns.

Hello all,I want to make sure the fields of a PDF are highlighted.  I looked online, and found the JavaScript to do this (I want to do it programmatically) is "app.runtimeHighlight = true".My C# code opens a PDF form, and makes it open for the user to edit in a WInForms panel.  THroughout the code, I've been using InvokeMethod to call various methods (such as getField()).object jsObj = pdDoc.GetJSObject();                Type T = jsObj.GetType();object jsReturn = T.InvokeMember("app", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance, null, jsObj, null);Type T2 = jsReturn.GetType();object[] param = { "true" };object jsReturn2 = T.InvokeMember("runtimeHighlight", BindingFlags.SetProperty | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance, null, jsReturn, param);How can I mimic the "app.runtimeHighlight = true" syntax through the C# Acrobat SDK?I'm using the Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Libra
