0I'm using javascript in a pdf form, I have a dropdown that references a location. When the user selects that location, the form is supposed to populate with information related to the location. I have two issues:The issue is that only some locations are populating with the information related to the location. I can't identify why. When I put the info into a javascript tester, it comes back with no errors.I need the form to, when the user clicks on a blank location (as in, no location), the form clears any other information that populated from before. For example: I selected the location: Jasper and it populates with the Jasper information. But that was an error and I want to not have any information show up, I want to click on a blank in the drop-down and the form does not populate any information. Thank you!Cindy

Is there a way to search for formulas in the documents. A lot of the things I would like to search for are math formulas. Things with subscripts and superscripts.

I'm making Matlab manual pdf accessible. There are matrices and mathematical expression in the pdf which the screen reader does not read correctly. My approach in making it accessible is to convert such expression as image and then insert alternate text in it. Though this procedure reads the alternate text but later on it also reads the originally incorrect one.Post this, I have three queries:-1. How to rectify the incorrect and correct reading one after the other?2. Is this the correct procedure for such kind of issues?3. What will be the best way to solve this issue?A screenshot is also attached for your reference.

We are on a shared online-only pro account for work mostly via Google Chrome, but this has happened enough times to raise some concerns. Comments are supposed to auto-save as you insert them via text highlight or strikethrough. Some of my colleagues have reported that when they are working on a pdf and inputting comments, if they've closed the document or it refreshed hours later for whatever reason (computer went on sleep mode and returned, or wifi went down) the comments would all COMPLETELY disappear. The first few times this happened (both on PC and MAC computers), I implored my colleagues to manually save as they go. One did so today while working on their PC computer, stepped away (which subsequently went to sleep). Returned hours later to finish but discovered all of their comments had disappeared even the ones from before they clicked save and now the comment dock just says GET STARTED as if nothing had never been input. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there

Is it possible to create a webform that can send to the email based on the selection made from a dropdown box. I have found several articles that look similar. I have created the dropdown box, added the email as the export value but I'm missing something or the syntax is incorrect. The export value is just the email correct? Or does mailto: need to proceed the email address. Thanks.

An author wants to use Minion Pro for his manuscript for a paperback book. I embedded the font in the Word file, but when saving as a pdf, the font won't embed and there are problems uploading it to the printing system. The only option it to rasterize it, which makes it blurry. I purchased a subscription to Creative Cloud and synced the Minion Pro font versions to my computer, but it STILL won't embed into the pdf. What do I do?

Hello-- I was wondering if there was any API / SDK functionality to allow me to compare PDF files using adobe acrobat programatically. I see on the website below info on other features of adobe that can be performed programatically but not the compare functionality. Any information would be great.  https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/apis/pdf-services/

Hi,I have been creating Interactive PDFs to provide solution to traditional learning educators. However, was wondering if we could also make an existing PDF file SCORM compliant, ensuring the LMS (Moodle) can track the learner activity like if all pages in the PDF were viewed and integrated videos (in the pdf) have been viewed.Thank you for your advise!RegardsGC

I'm new to doing anything in Adobe other than just reading a pdf.. so I apologize. I've searched this forum and I've been able to get close to what I want but something just isn't working and I think it's my dumbness... hahaOk here's what I'm trying to do. I'm making a form and I want to pick a town from the drop down and it populate a street address in a text field and populate an image of that address's signature at the bottom. Example: Selecting New York, NY in my drop down would auto fill 123 example st in the text field and my signature image will pop up... buthten if I select Los Angeles, Ca in the drop down the text box would change to 456 Hollywood Dr and my signature would hide and my friend's would become visible.  I've got it  up until I make a different selection and the now non selected signature doesn't return to hiding... so then I end up with both images visible... Help? please?

Is it possible to open a file from a stream in custom application using SDK? 

Our viewer newly reports:index.js:1 Exception: t5::corrupt_data, The PDF is fetched through a URL. I can use the same URL to download the pdf and load it into Preview, Google Drive, Foxit viewer, etc. And I can see that there was recently a new release:  https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/docs/overview/pdf-embed-api/releasenotes/#may-2023 Is there something we need to change on our side to get this working again? Thanks in advance

I have multiple PDFs requiring an e-signature (not digital). However, the signature line isn't consistent across all PDFs. I need to search the PDF for a specific phrase, then insert the e-signature above that phrase. I have created a Action to watermark the signature, but since the signature line isn't consistent, this doesn't work. I understand this will take scripting to do and I've tried to find answers, however, every script I've found is applied to a static location and not a dynamic location. This script looks extremely promising (though it uses a digital signature, not an e-signature). Here's what I have so far:var phrase = "Signature of: Name";var currentPage = this.pageNum;var found = this.getPageNthWord(currentPage, 0, phrase);if (found.length > 0) {var bbox = this.getPageNthWordQuads(currentPage, 0)[found[0]];var x = bbox[0];var y = bbox[1];var signatureImage = this.addWatermarkFromFile("FILE LOCATION", { opacity: 1, onTop: true, bUseAsBackground: false, nRotation: 0 });

Hi all, I received the Extract API usage notification that told me I was approaching the 1000 unit limit earlier in May. This was concerning because I have been developing a web app that is based on working with the text from PDFs. I reached out to sales soon after I received the notification--no response. I have sent more requests to the sales team. We'll see what happens. But I am hoping to get in contact with someone from the sales team ASAP so that I can continue using the API since it's already up and running. I would really appreciate it if there were a way that I could give money to Adobe in exchange for a quota of API calls appropriate to my needs. Thanks. -L

We have one or more folders with hundreds of individual PDFs. We want to merge PDFs according to some parameters that we have in an Excel. This Excel has 5 columns: source folder, start pdf, end pdf, resulting pdf name, destination folder name. Each row would correspond to a pdf. Is there a way to generate these PDFs automatically?

HejsaJeg vil gerne beregne værdien af nogle felter, men har en udfordring med programmet. Jeg kan nemlige ikke få lov til at vælge hvilke felter der skal indgå i beregningen. Programmet giver mig kun mulighed for at vælge alle felter, eller ingen.Jeg har placeret markøren i den celle som skal vise resultatet, og herefter højreklikket for at vælge egenskaber. I egenskaber har jeg valgt fanebladet "Beregn":Men jeg får som nævnt ikke lov til at vælge de celler der skal indgå i beregningen. Der sker ingenting når jeg prøve at klikke af i en eller flere linjer. Det er enten alle, eller ingen. What to do??

Hey,I created multiple PDF's using Adobe InDesign. Since it is not possible with InDesign to create an action that allows me to open a file in a new tab, I would like to do this with Acrobat. Furthermore I would also like to add a button with the open search function and a button with a page jump incluse zoom function to certain coordinates.How can I realize this? The manual change is unfortunately not an option, because the PDF's contain between 100 and 1000 pages and the changes would have to be made on almost every subpage.Here is a picture of my Master-Page where you can see the buttons.  Thanks in advance and have a nice day

HiI have used the following script from another thread to auto populate a text field with current date upon signing of a PDF form:// JavaScript code to add the date at signing time    var currentTime = new Date()    var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1    var day = currentTime.getDate()    var year = currentTime.getFullYear()    var signingTime = day +"/"+month+"/"+year  //Modify into your preferred format    var f = this.getField("Text1");  //Modify the field name as necessary    f.value = signingTime;(Original thread Can Acrobat auto populate a date field upon digital signature of a form?‌ I didn't want to ask on there since the thread was so old.)This is working fine but I also want to add the current time to the box. This is to validate when a document was signed before being submitted and will work on 3 different signatures.Any ideas would be much appreciated.

 What I am trying to do is create the apperance stream for an annotation. I have a PDEForm object as a CosObj that I have attempted to create an appearnce sttream from using  converted sample code. I have been unable to locate a sample that does exactly this from an in memory CosObj, though the Embed3DData sample comes pretty close. To debug, and possibly insert into the stream, I would like to get the stream that would be written for the CosObj. How do I do this? I have not found an API call that does this.
