Hi All,I want to convert my pdf file into word(.docx) and processing that converted file using C# to remove tables from that.So, I have tried the trial version of both Acrobat DC and Pro XI.But found some major difference that, while converting pdf using Acrobat DC, the whole first page of my pdf are converted in table format but while converting using XI pro that is not happen means XI Pro gives the proper format.As I know that DC is advance version of XI Pro. So why this happend?Thanks in advance!

Hi all;I have the BasicPlugin example working!!! Built with VisualStudio 2015 and no problems.But sooner or sooner I'm going to hit problems. How do I run under the debugger when I do?thanks - dave

I am trying to do the following. BasicPlugin.api calls a managed C++ DLL. That DLL calls a C# DLL (which has all the code I want to add to the plug in).According to VisualStudio's debugger, the plugin is finding, loading, & calling the managed C++ dll. It is failing to find the C# dll.According to fuslogvw.exe, neither of them can be found because it is looking in file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Acrobat DC/Acrobat for the files, not C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\plug_ins.What's the solution for this? The only thing I can think of is to explicitly call LoadLibrary() which strikes me as kludgy.Or maybe have the C++ plug-in directly call C# but that is a lot more complex and brings COM into the picture (yuck).thanks - dave

I am going nuts trying to figure this out. I've browsed past forum posts and none of them seem to apply to my particular situation. I have a form ("primary.pdf") I created in Acrobat XI with a button that runs a javascript on Mouse Up that takes its form data and inserts it into another form I created ("secondary.pdf"). The two files are in the same directory on a Windows network server. The javascript on the button has the following line 38: app.openDoc("secondary.pdf", this);When primary.pdf is open on a windows client running Reader XI, I can click the button and the script works great. When primary.pdf is open on a different windows client running Reader DC, I get the following error output in the console: NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.App.openDoc:38:Field Button1:Mouse UpThe only way it will work in Reader DC is if I disable Protected Mode at startup (in Preferences -> Security (Enhanced)), but this has obvious negative ramificatio

I have a drop down field with 65 or so choices. Based on the selection, I need specific buttons to be visible and other buttons to be hidden.  I have a working version of the cod but is is far too long to fit in the 1100 lines available. var layers = this.getOCGs();var v = event.value; for (var i = 0; i < this.layers.length; i++) {if (layers.name == "AARP" && v == "AARP"||layers.name == "AETNA" && v == "AETNA"||layers.name == "AFFINITY EXCHANGE" && v == "AFFINITY EXCHANGE"||layers.name == "AFFINITY HEALTH" && v == "AFFINITY HEALTH"||layers.name == "AFFINITY MEDICARE" && v == "AFFINITY MEDICARE"||layers.name == "AGEWELL" && v == "AGEWELL"||layers.name == "ALICARE" && v == "ALICARE"||layers.name == "AMERICAN PROGRESSIVE" && v == "AMERICAN PROGRESSIVE"||layers.name == "AMERIHEALTH" && v == "AMERIHEALTH"||layers.name == "APWU" && v == "APWU"||layers.name == "AXA ASSISTANCE" && v == "AXA ASSISTAN

Hello, How can I populate an image based on conditional formatting?I am making an patient results form and based on each questions score I want to populate an answer that is both copy and an image. Right now I have the following code that is providing the copy answer:var Deepsquat = this.getField("Deepsquat").value;var Pain = this.getField("Pain").value;var Red = this.getField("Red").value;var Yellow = this.getField("Yellow").value;var Green = this.getField("Green").value;if (Deepsquat == "0") event.value = Pain; if (Deepsquat == "1") event.value = Red; if (Deepsquat == "2") event.value = Yellow; if (Deepsquat == "3") event.value = Green; How do create a corresponding image to populate along with their answer?

Hi,I am using the action wizard to try to make sure the header/footer created in the java script is applied after the content of chosen PDF files is shrunk to avoid overwriting of content.  To do this, I brought over the "Header & Footer (Add)" prior to the Java Script Code.Within the "Header & Footer (Add)" Option, I selected "Appearance Options" and checked the "Shrink document to avoid overwriting***" and made sure "Page Range Options" is set to "All Pages."However, the action wizard only shrinks the first page.  The subsequent pages in the pdf file get overwritten with the header/footer created in the Java Script code. What am I doing wrong?  I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro X on Windows 7 machine.

Eg Person A will start from 0000, Person B start from 4000, Person C starts from 7000?Please help!!

Hello, I designed a editable form pdf for a client who will be using Acrobat Reader on a Windows computer. I have the buttons: CLEAR, PRINT, EMAIL, SAVE in the document.I am not familiar with scripting.I am trying to develop a javascript that works within the SAVE button that on button up action will bring up a save as window with a preset folder location of the user's desktop with name field auto populating with a set value followed by a name field along with a date field from the document.Is this possible?Here's an example:Form name: InvoiceName field in form: "BOB"Date field in form: "02-15-15"Save to (window will go directly to the folder):Users desktop folder named "Invoice"with name "InvoiceBOB-02-15-15.pdf"at this point all the user has to do is click save in that window.Thank you community, I hope was clear enough in explaining my situation.I appreciate the help.By the way, I'm designing on a MAC, users of the form will be on PC if that matters.

I am completely new to Javascript, so please bear with me!I have an acrobat form. I would like to use Javascript to take the last two characters contained in one field on the form and join them to the current date and time, putting the result in a second field. For example: ABCD, becomes CD-24-Jan-2017-20:39Something like this but it doesn't work, as the "WeighOrderNum" field remains blank with no ID!var n = this.getField("RegNum").valueAsString.substr(-2);var d = new Date(); //current date and timevar df = util.printd("-dd-mmm-yyyy-HH:MM", d)var f = this.getField("WeighOrderNum");f.value = n + df;Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,I want to know if there is a way to disable the ability to edit or export an adobe action (all in java script).  In other words, I do not want users to have access to the code or be able to export it for use between users.  I noticed the preinstalled Action Wizard actions such as "Archive Paper Documents" do not allow any editing (or access to the code).Thanks.Sue

I have one drop down named Quantity and three text fields named Qty1, Qty2 and Qty3. At the moment I'm using three checkboxes to run these scripts:checkbox1this.getField("Qty1").value = this.getField("Quantity").value;checkbox2this.getField("Qty2").value = this.getField("Quantity").value;checkbox2this.getField("Qty3").value = this.getField("Quantity").value;The scripts work fine but what I'd like to do is to eliminate the checkboxes as the triggers to place the Quantity amount into Qty1, Qty2, Qty3 text fields as I make the selections. Is there a script that would enable me to simply have the drop down populate the text fields if Qty1 is filled in (and likewise for Qty2 and Qty3 fields). Or am I stuck and have to use the checkboxes to trigger? If this is possible can someone shed some light so I can see how it can be done? Thank you.

I have a checkbox that the user can click, which will open another PDF form for them. I put the code below as a javascript action on the checkbox. It works for PC users, but not for Mac users.var document = app.openDoc("/internal.location.com/mke/Group/user forms/Advertising/Site Email Request Form/Z_Blank Form/email request form.pdf");I verified the path of the PDF that I want the checkbox action to open by using "this.path" in the debugger (Acrobat DC on a Mac). I had the "Advertising" volume mounted on the Macintosh. When I ran the "this.path" command, it returned   Advertising/Site Email Request Form/Z_Blank Form/email request form.pdf  The above code only works on the PC not the Mac. Is it possible to get the checkbox script to work with both a PC and a Mac? What changes do I need to make? Based on the results from running "this.path" on the Mac, it looks as though the script should work as is,since the path is valid, or does it have to match exactly what this.path

I have 2 dropdown Fields.One Field has x Options. The other field has no available options by deafault, but should get different options based on the value of field1.Currently I wrote this script, but it isn't quite working as intendedthis.getField("Field2").clearItems(); //deletes anything in field2if (this.getField("Field1").value != "") // Proceed to check different options only if field1 isn't empty in the first place{      if (this.getField("Field1").value == "Option A") // Is the value of Field1 "OptionA"    {           values = [" A", "B", "C", "D"]; // Initialize array with possilbe choices         this.getField("Field2").setItems(values) //Add choices to the dropdown field "Field2"     }      if (this.getField("Field1").value == "Option B") //repeat for option b       {      &nbsp

I'm having problems with a PDF form in Acrobat Reader on IOS. There's a function to set a checkbox value based on which range a field's value is within. There are 3 ranges (55 or less; more than 55 up to 85; more than 85). The corresponding values in the checkboxes are 'A', 'B', 'C' (they originally had the range description, but I simplified it to a single letter for debugging purposes). If the value is 0 then I set the checkbox to 'Off'Everything works properly in acrobat, but on IOS, it seems to be completely intermittent. I added a field to create my own 'debugger' on iOS, and I'm populating it with the values that of the field, the range value that needs to be set in the checkbox, and the actual value of the checkbox.Value: 60Range Value: "B"Checkbox Value: "B"Each line is added to the text field right after the variable or checkbox value is set in the function. On IOS, the checkbox is either getting set to 'Off' despite the fact that the range value is 'B' (or whatever the actual

Hello folks.I'm attempting to pull the file folder in which my PDF is contained into a text field. I'm assuming there is a way to do this in the document javascripts, but I cannot seem to figure it out.Is there way to either:1) determine the folder name in which the PDF is located and push that into a text field (e.g., the fold name is "412" and that's what I'd like in the text field), or2) Remove a portion of the file name itself, and push what's remaining into a text field (e.g., the file name is "Review Documentation 412" and I want "412" to appear in the text field.If it matters, I'm using Acrobat Pro CC.Thanks in advance for any assistance!
