Hello Adobe,it is 2016 and your Arobat-App still doesn't support features like ScanBot? Easy document scanning on the go..Very disappointing!!

Hello,Task of the checkboxes in the popup window is to write the checkbox values to File > Properties > Description > Title.If you selected 2 checkboxes, a ";" should be a separator between the 2 fields in the File > Properties > Description > Title field.If you select only 1 checkbox, there is NO ; at all.If you select 3 checkboxes, the separator is always a ; (in this case 2 times a ; )This is one of my tries, hope that some freaks can help me.I need also to exand the checkboxes until 9 different checkboxes.var dialog2 =    {        initialize: function(dialog) {            // Set a default value for radio button field            dialog.load({"ckb1": true });        },        commit: function(dialog) {      &nb

hey there,i am searching for a solution to establish an ODBC connection in Acrobat DC  Pro in forms using JavaScript.After reading through several official documents from Adobe likeAcrobat DC SDK Documentationand the related stuff for JavaScript, i followed the instructions to connect to an ODBC, written in the DC SDK,added the registry entry in the right path and turned value to true to enable ADBC. But while running the scriptthe debugger console shows:"ReferenceError: ADBC is not defined"searching the internet again, several sources say that ADBC is no longer supported in Arcobat DC. so why is itstill in the DC SDK Documentation?Adobe even advertising with ODBC support via JavaScript for DC ProAusfüllbares PDF-Formular erstellen | Adobe Acrobat DC(sorry, just found the german version of this page)so please, can somebody officially confirms if it still works, and if yes how?just a small information about how the code has to look like, thanks.specifications:Acrobat DC ProWindows

Hi all,I have no experience in creating scripts. I have two scripts that I actually need (I think).The first script I would like/need is a on a field that sums up a series of totals for a grand total but I would like to have in brackets the percentage (as shown in the example below in red). The way it's laid out by the person who is wanting the form, is to have the grand total added up but I wanted to have that number than divided by the maximum score to get the percentage in brackets beside the total.My second script (if it's doable) would be based on that percentage to automatically choose/check one of the radio buttons below based on the calculated percentage from the grand total line as calculated above.If this is not clear please don't hesitate to ask questions as I will try to better explain myself.I am working in Adobe Acrobat Pro DCThanks in advance.Paul

Hello,I have written a plugin to select highlighted text from PDF document.However,text I get from PDF document is retrieved with actual formatting, for example, new line etc.I want the text without any formatting.Here is the code snippet to get the highlight annotated text.Here is my code for getting the annotated text:ACCB1 ASBool ACCB2 pdTextSelectEnumTextProc(void* procObj, PDFont font, ASFixed size, PDColorValue color, char* text, ASInt32 textLen)  {    char stringBuffer[200];    strcpy(stringBuffer, text);    ss << stringBuffer;    return true;  }  if (ASAtomFromString("Highlight") == PDAnnotGetSubtype(annot))    {    // Gets the annotation's rect    PDAnnotGetRect(annot, &boundingRect);    // Gets the text selection from the annotation's rect    PDTextSelect textSelect = PDDocCreateTextSelect(pdDoc, pageNum, &boundingRect);    // create a callback to

Hello,I have created a plugin to create a Annotation with sub type Highlight annotation.Basically I created a custom menu "CreateAnnot" to highlight the text when I select the particular text.Plugin creates a highlight annotation and displays a message box with the annotated text.I will put the screenshot so that you will get clear idea.In above image, while creating highlight annotation, I selected the middle line text and annotation created properly for that line.However, It returns the highlighted text along-with below and upper line in the messagebox.That means it returns whole paragraph.I am not getting why this is happening.Here is my code for getting the annotated text:ACCB1 ASBool ACCB2 pdTextSelectEnumTextProc(void* procObj, PDFont font, ASFixed size, PDColorValue color, char* text, ASInt32 textLen){  char stringBuffer[200];  strcpy(stringBuffer, text);  ss << stringBuffer;  return true;}if (ASAtomFromString("Highlight") == PDAnnotGetSubtype(annot))&n

In Acrobat 11, how to type arabic?

Hi allI have a quick query that hopefully someone can clear up with me. I have been creating a PDF document with dropdowns, and followed this guide which worked perfectly for me when populating other fields. My problem started when I wanted to add a second drop down, this dropdown contains the same content and needs to populate different fields in the same way as the first. The way I wrote the function for the second drop down is as follows. I know this is wrong because the functions have the same name but I do not understand scripting enough on how to name them differently, currently selecting a option from Dropdown1 will change the fields Duration2, Funding2 and Cont2.Dropdown 1 Keystroke Scriptif( event.willCommit ){   if(event.value == " ")     this.resetForm(["Duration1","Funding1","Cont1"]);   else     SetFieldValues(event.value);}Dropdown 2 Keystroke Scriptif( event.willCommit ){   if(event.value == " ") 

We have the latest Version of DC, and we often experience problems when the number of comments are many. We are talking thousands of comments. In the previous Version there are no problem at all With this. We have tried several computers (all Windows 7) and several users we know are saying the same ting.The last time DC started to struggle when we had made around 1500 comments. Then everything goes really slow and we can't save anything. We even have trouble opening the menus. Like I said everything Works fine in Version XI, and if we export the comments fra XI to DC, the DC is'nt able to load all the comments. It stops, and we can't do anything in the program.This has happened in several files, With several computers (Windows 7) and several users have reported the same problem. Is there anythin that can be done to fix this??

Hi.Copy-pasted from the JavaScript™ for Acrobat® API Reference for Adobe® Acrobat® DC SDK:TTS:This object is currently a Windows-only feature and requires that the Microsoft Text-to-Speech engine be installed in theoperating system.The TTS object is present on both the Windows and Mac OS platforms (since it is a JavaScript object). However, it isdisabled on Mac OS.This text is the same on the latest PDF version (May 2015) and in the online version of the JavaScript™ for Acrobat® API ReferenceQuestion 1As far as I can test and ear, Text To Speech works fine on Mac OS with both Reader and Acrobat (version 9 to version DC).It works fine on Windows too but only with Acrobat, not with Reader (not with mine at least).So, where can I find an up to date documentation or any infos about Text To Speech?Question 2Text To Speech reads correctly any text without accented caracters, but it does nothing if there is at least one accented caracter in the text, without warning nor error message in the C

I do not know anything about programming languages or scripting but I need assistance to perform a task if it's not too much to ask. I have Adobe Acrobat pro XI.Basically I have the coordinates that I want the signature to be placed on each page in a pdf, I believe my customers want it to be a hand written from a file.I would also need to password protect the file and overwrite it.  I know most people will say it's unnecessary to put a signature on each page but for our purposes it is a requirement.I don't know where to begin, I basically researched a little and saw that some people are saying it can be done with a little scripting.I downloaded the Java SDK but it isn't going to help me if I don't know what to do.Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have followed every guide out there on the web to fix the problem of Adobe Acrobat DC crashing when trying to "save" or "save as" and nothing has worked. I've tried using the clean uninstall tool, and have completely re-installed fresh, I have unmarked the check boxes for "show online storage when saving files", fiddled with potential antivirus conflicts, disabled "Enable Enhanced Security". Right now, it is literally impossible to work on a PDF and save any progress on it. Any help would be extremely beneficial.
