Hello,I have written a plugin to search text from the PDF document using search plugin HFT functions.I can very well search the plain text without any special characters in it.But when search text contains special characters then It could not search the whole search text.Here is my code snippet:ASText  searchKey = ASTextFromScriptText(searchText, kASEUnicodeScript);SearchQueryDataRec srcQuery;memset(&srcQuery, 0, sizeof (SearchQueryDataRec));srcQuery.size = sizeof(SearchQueryDataRec);srcQuery.query = searchKey;srcQuery.type = kSearchActiveDoc;srcQuery.match = kMatchAllWords;srcQuery.options = kWordOptionWholeWord | kSearchEveryWhere;srcQuery.scope = kSearchDocumentText;srcQuery.path = NULL;srcQuery.fs = NULL;srcQuery.maxDocs = 1;ASBool ret = SearchExecuteQueryEx(&srcQuery);ASTextDestroy(searchKey);For example:If I want to search the below highlighted text then It does not search.However I can very well search the below text:Please let me know where I am going wrong.Thanks.

I have an application that creates PDF documents with pages containing both a TIFF document and headers and footers rendered with vector text.  Normally when you open a PDF and try to edit it, Acrobat DC Pro will automatically scan and OCR the current page so that you can copy from or edit the page.  However, it refuses to do this on the PDFs generated by my application because of the vector text that exists on the pages.  Is there a way to add the headers and footers in a way that will not prevent DC from auto-OCRing or is there a setting in DC that can change this behavior?

Hi, I am trying to create a Adobe Form which automatically add 36 hours to the previous date and time entered in the dd/mm/yy HH:MM format. I was wondering if there is any advice on how to do that on Adobe acrobat DC?

I am working with a VB .net application which actually saves selected PDF to PS and then using distiller it saves the PS file back to PDF which is "optimized" and smaller in size.

Hello,I have a document with a lot of different checkboxes and they all have their own specific category.I have the document so that when a user clicks on a checkbox under that specific category, a button displays a value of the number of checkmarks that are clicked under that specific category.  The program will only display a value, if the checkbox string value is in the array which I DEFINE.I have had to manually type in the specific checkbox name into array to get this done, but I am looking to see if I can iterate through and select a specific set of checkboxes  to then PUSH to an array, so I don't have to manually type the string names of 100+ checkboxes.Here is the code that I put in my custom calculation script of the text field which displays the number of checkboxes typed in:var checkboxes = ["holter-48hr", "holter-72hr", "holter-1wk", "holter-2wk", "cardio-ecgharmonic", "cardio-loop", "cardio-restingecg", "cardio-gxt" ]; var counter = 0;  for (var i in checkbo

I need some java script help creating a PDF form/field named "Sales Tax" that does the following:Calculates the amount of tax from the "Search Fee" field based on "Zip" and "State" fields.Conditions are that if the "State" field is not "NY" the sales tax rate would be zero and thus the "Sales Tax" field would read $0.00. i.e. State: CA, Search Fee: $150.00, Sales Tax: $0.00IF the "State" field is "NY" then it would calculate the rate based off of the "Zip" field. i.e. State: NY, Zip: 10005, Search Fee: $150.00, Sales Tax: $13.31 (8.875% of $150)i.e. State: NY, Zip: 10005, Search Fee: $150.00, Sales Tax: $12.94 (8.625% of $150)Ideally the calculation would read an excel sheet with 2 columns (one for zip and for tax rate) but I would also be interested in the code that 'manually' covers the 11 sales tax rates of NY.  Any help would be great.Thanks!

I've looked over the forums, but can't see where this is answered. I'm combining anywhere from 4 - 6 separate .pdf files, then adding bookmarks, linking each .pdf to a master web page, then moving those files to a web server for our customers to view. I'm using Acrobat XI Pro.When I combine the .pdfs and view them on my computer, everything is fine. When I move the combined .pdf to our web server, text goes missing. See below. Is there anything that can be done? Combined files range in size from 24 MB to 59 MB.

Good day all,I am not familiar with javascript and I hope somebody can help me with this.I need to run a script on a large batch of files already selected and delete all but the first page in each file, then save all to a new folder while keeping the exact same file names.Any help is very much appreciated.I should also add that I will be running this script on Adobe XI Pro and that the PDF files have different number of pages each.

I have a document which I have made editable with lots of form fields (especially checkmarks).These checkmarks display certain options that the person can choose, and they are under their own "Category"If 2 checkmarks are selected under that specific category, is there a way that I can have something print ON the document that says "2  OPTIONS SELECTED " in a visually noticeable way? I understand this may take a bit of programming to achieve, but I would like to know what your thoughts are, and if there is a possibly simple way of doing this.Thank you!

I have several documents going under accessibility work (508). This is done manually.However, several documents contain the same text across them (some headings, some paragraphs, etc). Is is possible to do the following programmatically?Mark a document as "tagged pdf" (create a root tag)Search for the repeated text.Apply the desired tag (for example, H1, P, etc).I have been searching the Acrobat SDK but cannot find any methods for tagging a text selection. I haven't found anything on Javascript (I suppose the accessibility requires core functionality available only via the C++ API).

I am trying to figure out how to do GST calculations in my fillable pdf form. I will need to calculate how much the total is with the GST amount of 5% and I can add them to make the correct total. But when the quantity will change from (for example) 150 ... how do you calculate the GST number with that? So that, then the total would be 150 and the GST amount should automatically change to $7.50 which would add up in the total to be 157.50.Help please!!!

Hi all,I have gone through several threads and tried to search the forum for relevant information. So far I have not found any solution that helps, so now I am hoping that anyone know how I should address this problem.I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat that will work as a contract between students and companies during the education.In short, I would like to be able to fill out the form, but when the company (red) signs his part, specifics fields are locked. The remaining fields are still editable until the students signs his part.Is this possible at all? I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro to create this form, and the users will be using Adobe Reader when adding information and signatures.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.- Rasmus

I create a very large number of forms and documents, the final product of which is always PDF. I really need for them to all print at 100% with normal looking margins rather than reduced with gigantic margins. Apparently when my clients are using Reader on a PC, the default print size is "scale to page size". If I want to override the PC print default of "scale to page size" I have to go into each and every PDF (hundreds of them) select Properties > Advanced > Page Scaling and change from "Default" to "None" which then forces me to chose a page range. It's pretty tedious to do that 50 times a day. It's annoying to my clients to get a reduced printed document if they don't remember to change that default every single time they print a file. Is there some place in my general Acrobat Pro Preferences where I can make all PDFs I create print at 100%? Is there a  plug-in?I am working on an iMac with Acrobat 11. I just don't have the time right now to learn an all-new interface. (u

After numerous attempts to get my plugin working I have done back to basics to full understand how the Broker Process works, so I compiled SampleExtn solution, copied the client into the plugins directory and the Broker into the pi_brokers directory, however when I try and run the menu options of the plugin, it the call to InitSandboxPIBrokerIPCChannel is failing, with no message.How do I debug this? Is there any common things to check up?(Am testing it with Adobe Reader IX (it IS reader enabled).ThanksD

Hello,I have developed a plugin to open a document from the document path received from external program.Is there any way to avoid reloading the document when same document is opened twice.Here is my code snippet:ACCB1 void ACCB2 OpenDocument(){AVDoc avDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc();PDDoc pdDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc(avDoc);char filePath[256];GetPrivateProfileString("OpenFile", "filePath", "", filePath, 256, iniFilePath);ASAtom pathType = ASAtomFromString("Cstring");//Create an ASText objectASText titleText = ASTextNew();ASTextSetPDText(titleText, "This PDF was opened by using the Acrobat SDK");//Create an ASPathName objectASFileSys fileSys = ASGetDefaultFileSysForPath(pathType, filePath);ASPathName pathName = ASFileSysCreatePathName(fileSys, pathType, filePath, NULL);//Open the PDF fileAVDoc myDoc = AVDocOpenFromFile(pathName, fileSys,NULL);//Do some clean upASFileSysReleasePath(fileSys, pathName);ASTextDestroy(titleText);}Thanks

Hello,I have developed a acrobat plugin. Plugin adds a menu-item under Edit menu.I am doing some operations on execution of this menu-item.Now, I want to do these operations in two ways:1. Do some operations on execution of the menu item. In this case, execution of this menu item will be done by a IAC program (Which works fine in my case)2. Do some another operations on execution of the same menu item. In this case, execution of this menu item will be done MANUALLY (By user).So, in the nutshell, execution of the menu item will be done in two ways, manually and programmatically.So, How can I differentiate this behavior?Thanks.

Hello,I am using Acrobat Search plugin HFT functions to search text in the PDF document.Along with regular text, I also want to search the comments.In the Edit->Advanced Search panel, there is a option to include the comments in the Search.I just want to do it programmatically.Here is my code snippet:ASText searchKey = ASTextNew();searchKey = ASTextFromEncoded(searchText, kUTF8);SearchQueryDataRec srcQuery;memset(&srcQuery, 0, sizeof (SearchQueryDataRec));srcQuery.size = sizeof(SearchQueryDataRec);srcQuery.query = searchKey;srcQuery.type = kSearchActiveDoc;srcQuery.scope = kSearchDocumentText | kSearchEveryWhere;srcQuery.path = NULL;srcQuery.fs = NULL;srcQuery.maxDocs = 1;ASBool ret = SearchExecuteQueryEx(&srcQuery);As you can see, I used srcQuery.scope = kSearchDocumentText | kSearchEveryWhere;But I am not able to search through comments. But sometimes it gives me an  error like "There was an error retrieving text".What is it that I am missing here?Thanks
