Questions

I have a document that has an ExpireDate field that needs to auto-populate based on whether one checkbox or another is checked (these could also be radio buttons I suppose). The first checkbox "FCheck" needs to auto-populate Today+365 days in the ExpireDate Field. The second checkbox "MCheck" needs to auto-populate Today+182 days in the ExpireDate Field. If neither box is checked, the field should be blank. (There should never be a situation when both should be checked, so I guess I should change these to radio buttons).I've tried every forum imaginable, but can't seem to nail this down. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

First off, I am NOT a scripter. I've learned from this Forum (lots of script "lifting") and reading. This is a little more complicated for me than the usual question. Users are submitting a form in which they will enter a current salary, a maximum they cannot exceed (required field) and then they will either enter a percentage for the increase that calculates the new salary OR they might enter their own "new" salary which cannot exceed the maximum and shouldn't exceed the 5%, but could (there are conditions outside of the form that would allow more than 5%). I have a hidden field that will automatically calculate the new salary if the user inputs the percentage. When it comes to choice, I don't have the option to require them to fill out one field or the other; some may pick percentage and some may chose to enter the new salary themselves.Is there a way to make both fields "available" to the user (conditional), but exclusively validated. I hope I'm explaining this correctly.The fields

Hi,I'm currently writing a PLUGIN for Adobe Pro using Adobe SDK X! and everything works great. I'm currently facing a challenge when printing using the default printer (windows 7.0) with the API AVDocPrintPagesWithParams()I need to initialize the  AVDocPrintParamsRec structure to insure that the page size is FItToPaper and that the orientation is Portrait. Right now it's always pointing to "Auto portrait/landscape".  The end results is that landscape pages in the document will get rotated to Portrait automatically. I need for the pages to be scaled down and Fit in Portrait mode without any rotation.I was playing with the option  AVDocPrintNupData without any success.Need help,Thanks,

I have created a custom date received stamp that asks for the date from the user. If the user leaves it blank it defaults to the current date. This stamp works perfect in Acrobat 11 but when i put the stamp in Adobe ReaderDC it works as long as you enter a date but returns a blank line if the user leaves the prompt empty rather than return the current date. Here is the code I used.var cAsk = "Enter Date Received - Leave Blank For Current Date";var cTitle = "Date Stamp Date"; if(event.source.forReal &&   (event.source.stampName == "#xM1uT4oWyH3DQs6bmmc9CC")){   var cMsg = app.response(cAsk, cTitle);   event.value = cMsg;   event.source.source.info.DocumentState = cMsg;}if (event.value=="") event.value = (new Date()).toString();Anyone have any suggestions to make this work in ReaderDC?Mike

I have a series of numbers that I need to add, they are in 9 fields. The page is a template, the first problem was getting it change the names of the fields to match the spawned page within the script. I solved that problem.The current problem is that if one of the fields is blank, it does not read that field as a '0', it stops adding and combines the rest of the numbers as if they were text.So, if the first 3 fields were 1,1,2 the result would be '4', however if they were 1,1, (blank),2 I would get '22'. It adds the first 2 numbers, then it hits the blank, then it will combine the numbers thereafter.  1,1,(blank),2,3,4 would be 2234, I want it to = 11I need it to consider a blank field a zero so that it continues to add, the 'custom calculation  script' is below, please help.(function () {var f_name = event.target.name; var aName = f_name.split("."); var f_prefix = aName[0] + "." + aName[1];event.value = this.getField([f_prefix] + ".ADA A QTY").value+this.getField([f_prefix]

Hello,      I'm working on a fillable pdf budget sheet. I want to add in formulas to calculate percentages. I found the code below to remove my "Warning: Javascript Window" issue from a previous forum article. I also want to add in the equation "AmountRentandFees/(TotAnnInc/12)". It works as a stand alone equation but it does not work with the code below. Is there a way that I can use both?? I'm not JavaScript savvy. Any simple ideas people may have would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!PatRemove warning:JavaScript window message from dialog (JavaScript)var dialogTrust = app.trustedFunction(function(){app.beginPriv();var data = { description: { name: "Test Dialog", elements: [{ name: "Hello World", type: "static_text", },{ type: "ok", },] } }; app.execDialog(data);app.endPriv();});

I have a plug-in that deletes all pages from a document using the following code:// get the active PDF documentAVDoc currentAVDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc();PDDoc originalDocument = AVDocGetPDDoc(currentAVDoc);// number of pages in the documentint numPages = PDDocGetNumPages(originalDocument);// delete all pages from the documentPDDocDeletePages(originalDocument, 0, numPages - 1, NULL, NULL);The problem is that I'm getting an error message that simply says "Bad parameter" when my code calls the PDDocDeletePages() function. So I tried to delete each individual page one at a time by doing this:  for (int i = numPages - 1; i >= 0; i--)  {    PDDocDeletePages(originalDocument, i, i, NULL, NULL);  }The same error message still appears, but it happens once there is only 1 page remaining. The other pages are deleted without any problem. I have even tried reversing the loop and deleting the pages in the opposite order, but the error still comes when there is only 1

Hi;I'm looking at creating a plugin in the near future. And being able to use VS 2015 instead of VS 2010 would be a giant help. Will the SDK allow use of VS 2015 in the near future? Or are we stuck back in 2010 for the foreseeable future?thanks - dave

I am attempting to create a form checklist for completing tasks that require documentation at my workplace. I would like to create a button that will allow any existing PDF to be inserted into a new page after the checklist. Is it possible to script a button that will allow this? And I would like to use different buttons for each check so that multiple separate pdf files can be inserted after the checklist. Even one button that would allow multiple insertions at different times. Ideally, these files would all be recognized PDF pages that can be sorted and deleted as needed.

From my plugin I can retrieve the Acrobat version via AVAppGetVersion. For Acrobat 11, the update number is part of MinorVersion:Version 11.0.19 - MajorVersion = 11, MinorVersion / 256 = 0, MinorVersion MOD 256 = 19But for Acrobat DC, I get MajorVersion = 15, MinorVersion / 256 = 6, MinorVersion MOD 256 = 0Is there any way to retrieve also the update number (e.g. for Acrobat DC: 2015.006.30280) ?Thank you!

I have four different PDF forms that I have added to a Portfolio within Adobe. These forms all have several common fields such as Part Number, Serial Number, Stock Number, and such. I want to link these forms so if the user completes the common fields in one form it completes the same ones in the other forms also.  Is this possible within the Portfolio or is my only option to combine the four into one form? I'm working with Adobe Pro XI and have added the AGI tool set.Thanks for any help,Chris

Good morning,      I am trying to set up a JS that allows a button to look for any missing required fields.  Text fields and radio buttons are the types of fields that are required throughout this form.  I need it to prompt all missing required fields, then once all are complete, prompt that the form is complete and ready to be printed, then followed with the print screen.  At this point, I cannot figure out how to get it to point out the radio buttons or prompt when complete.  It does pop up the message for the text fields and does pop up the print screen once "complete", however, whether the radio button options are selected or not, it shows all radio buttons in the error as if they were not completed.  There is one gender radio button selection and the rest are "yes"/"no" type of options where they have to go through and click either yes or no on all listed.  The default is set to where neither is selected.This is what I have so
