IHow do you get Acrobat pragmatically printing tiled (poster) settings? I know what the support (reference document for Javascript states). Use TileAll.... that did not work at all. I have large images that I need to add a couple barcodes to the top and then print without changing the size of the image. So they need to print out at 100%. I can do it manually but I need to automate this process ASAP. Can someone help me? Right now I have a C# app that sends the document through OLE to open, now I just need to modify and PRINT tiled. Of course, this process needs to be duplicatable. I wanted to do this all in OLE but I do not see where I can modify the printer settings.... therefore I was thinking OLE to Javascript. I could do OLE to plugins also but I can not get my new plugin (sample for SDK) to even show up.I am using Acrobat Pro DC.ThanksKory How do you get Acrobat pragmatically printing tiled (poster) settings

Hi All;i'm looking for a way to automate the uploading of a document via an exposed API to the Adobe Doc Cloud so that a link to the document can be shared rather than the document itself.Is this possible? has anyone already solved this problem before?thanksWilliam

Hello all,I'm lost and have been struggling with this for a couple weeks now. I am a decent beginner level who can understand js, copy it and past, then modify to get it working. I am much more limited with regards to creating new scripts from scratch.I have a js 'Action' that performs a batch import: locates txt file, imports data for first record, saves the file with one of the field names, then automatically, pulls the next record and repeats.I'm using Acrobat Pro XI.The problem is that while it populates the data, it will not save the new file to my folder, and thus, will not proceed to the next file.I have performed the research and have traced the problem to the security issues associated with saving files on my company's drives. I believe this is a Trust function and Privilege scripting. I don't quite seem to understand1) how to create a .js file that I save in the javacript folder,2) the javascript folder location is different from where I have seen in blogs that it is supposed

I'm trying to create a form that determines if a patient requires a particular lab based on their history. "field X" is the patient's age and "field Y" is another age. I'm trying to create a script that determines if "field Y" is plus or minus 10 years of the age in "field X". If it is within 10 years I want "field Z" to show. If the age isn't within 10 years, then I want "field Z" to remain hidden.I'd appreciate any help with this. I'm almost done with this form and it's looking great so far. Thanks in advance!

First of all, It is not clear to me whether I'm posting this question in the right forum.I created an interactive fillable form, some fields should be filled by hand, calculations was done in Acrobat Pro to automatically displayed formula results.Here is what is expected to happen in the red framed fields:QTY.: User will type-in the quantity being requestedRequested date: User will type-in the request date (see #4 below)Unit Price: User to type-in Unit priceTotal Price: is an auto calculation. If "Request date" is 1st of June, then formula is as follows [ Qty x Unit Price ]. If the date is not 1st of June then formula should be as follows [ Qty x Unit Price / 2 ]How can I make the Total Price to use If/Then formula, must this be scripted?

I want to be able to get a date object form a date field. I am aware I can do this:var value = getField("date").value;var date = util.scand("yyyy-mm-dd", sDate);But this requires that I know what the date format is.I want to be able to get a date object from a date fields without having to bake the formatting string into the script.Any help would be appreciated

We have an automated check processing software that outputs PCL files that are typically sent to printer to produce checks. Lately, we've been attempting to find out if duplicate checks are being generated by the software. In order to do this, we would like to know if its possible for Adobe DC Pro (or a combination of PCL to PDF converter and Adobe) could "flag" images that have the same check number data element on the form. The check number is always in the same position on the form, so I'm thinking their may be a way to accomplish this through DC Pro. At the end of the day, we would like this process to be automated, with any potential duplicates being captured into a report or some other means.If someone could assist in answering this question, that would be very helpful.Thank you.Paul Saylor

I wish to know if there is a way to set focus at the end of the value when there is already one entered in the field. I have taken the information in this forum on how to auto tab. I have this in the document JavaScript :function goNext(item, event, cName){AFNumber_Keystroke(0,0,0,0,"",true);if(event.rc && AFMergeChange(event).length ==event.target.charLimit) item.getField(cName).setFocus();}And this on mousedown under the Action tab of the field property :this.getField("ShortT.1").setFocus();  This focuses on the entire field and selects whatever is in it. Is there a possibility of just moving the cursor at the end?Thank you.

Hi,I want to only apply event to non-hidden files.  I tried the following but it did not bring up the app alert when I had a non-hidden pdf file in the sequence.  What am I doing wrong?  I know it must have something to do with the bolded text.if (this.hidden = false){if (3 == app.alert("Before proceeding, confirm scanned documents were backed up.  If not, click No to close the program and backup the scanned documents before executing the program.",1,2)){event.rc = false;}}

Is it possible to add a notification that pops up when a digital signature has been applied saying "your digital signature has succesfully been applied."I am using a PDF program on IPad Pro and it uses electronic signatures like look like handwritten signatures to verify documents. I had already set the rules on ADOBE ACROBAT DC PRO to make all fields read to lock the document to prevent further edits. However, in the JavaScript section i Can add codes to make certain things happen. If possible, I'd like to add a pop up saying "your digital signature has been successfully been applied." Also, if i can add a digital stamp saying the users name and time/date to be placed in the signature box as well That would be nice.

Hi,I am creating a form that asks a series of yes and no safety related questions. They are all worded so the operator should be answering yes.I would like to know if there is a way to create a box at the bottom that would populate once all fields are completed. If all answers are yes the box would change to green and display 'SAFE TO FLY'. If any of the answers are no then the box would change to red and display 'DO NOT FLY'.Any ideas?? Is this even possible?Thanks,

Is it possible to script an event listener into Acrobat?I am trying to automate a workflow and I don't know how to go about it. I know very little about JavaScript and was hoping someone could help figure out how to do it.Throughout my day I am searching for files on several different volumes.

Hi,How can we make it so javascript detects whether user's path folder contains commas in it?  My program does not save to the path folder when the user has included commas in the folder name so I want to prevent this by generating an error when there are commas in the path folder.Does it have something to do with what is in the following code?  In particular, is it saying the pathfolder cannot contain commas and to replace them?  If not, what does the text in red mean?         var cSavePath = oOrigDoc.path.replace(/\/[^\/]+$/,"/");Thanks.S
