Questions

I'm trying to print a PDF made from a PowerPoint, probably with MS Office.  (It's from teacher in a course my wife took.)  It makes streaks where the text should be.  I'm using Windows 10, latest update to Acrobat Reader.  I also have a laptop running Linux (Mint) and can use the app Okular to print the PDF.  That works fine.  Thus, there seems to be a bug, either in the HP firmware or with A.R.   I don't really expect help, since I'm going to finish the printing with Linux.  Has anybody else had this problem?  I can sent a scan of the messed-up slides if that will help.

A client had this problem two weeks ago and using the registry fix (the link below) the problem went away, but as of today it has returned.Acrobat Reader DC prints streaks after upgrading to Windows 10 Anniversary updateI can confirm that the registry edit is still there. It was fine on Thursday 27th October 2016 but today, 1st November 2016, it has returned. Today the machine received three updates, two were for Windows 10, one of these was a cumulative update, and one was for Adobe Flash player. I am guessing one of these Microsoft patches has caused Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to stop working correctly again?This is what the invoices are printing out as:

Hello,I am using IAC OLE automation APIs for inter-application communication with PDF document.I want to execute "Highlight text" menu item programmatically using MenuItemExecute("Annots:TextEditMenu:HighlightSel"), however its not working.I checked whether this menu item is enabled or not using MenuItemIsEnabled("Annots:TextEditMenu:HighlightSel"). Its returning -1. And as per documentation(http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/acrobat_dc_sdk/2015/HTMLHelp/#t=Acro12_MasterBook%2FIAC_API_OLE_Objects%2FMenuItemIsEnabled.htm), It means that menu is enabled.However, whenever I execute the function MenuItemExecute("Annots:TextEditMenu:HighlightSel"), It gives me following error:"Attempt to call a method that has not been implemented"I am putting my code snippet here:CAcroApp *m_pAcroApp;COleException e;m_pAcroApp = new CAcroApp;m_pAcroApp->CreateDispatch("AcroExch.App", &e);m_pAcroApp->MenuItemExecute("Annots:TextEditMenu:HighlightSel");Product details that I am using are:Acrobat v

I have a PDF form with embedded Javascript that I made a while back. It's been working fine for months, but today it started giving me this error:TypeError: Item.indexOf is not a functionI looked around the forum and found that this seems to be a problem with older Acrobat not supporting JS 1.6. But I'm using Acrobat 2015, which should support this call. And again, this script had been working fine until today.I don't know if it's related, but the only factor I can think of is that I've downloaded and used a heavily JSed PDF. That PDF worked just fine, but would it be possible that this PDF somehow disabled my Acrobat's JS 1.6 support?How do I get JS 1.6 support back?

I am trying to create javascript to populate a field (FieldText13) with a dollar amount based upon whether or not CheckBox9 (2 hours) or CheckBox11 (4 hours) is checked multiplied by the dollar amount that is entered by the user in FieldText11.I've made multiple attempts but cannot get the javascript to work.  Thank you.var cb1 = this.getField("CheckBox9").isBoxChecked(0);var cb2 = this.getField("CheckBox11").isBoxChecked(0);if (cb1 && cb2) {    event.value = "";}else if (cb1) {    event.value = ("FillText09" * "FillText09val");}else if (cb2) {    event.value = ("FillText11" * "FillText11val");}else {    event.value = "";}

I need your help! I want to implement a radio input that when, for example, the user selects one opcion, block  tone particular text-field. I am using it for another function the checkbox as follows:if (this.getField("xxx").value  == "Off"){    this.getField("yyy").readonly=false;    }    else {    this.getField("xxx").readonly=true;    this.resetForm(["yyy"]);}But does not fulfill the necessary function since it allows multiple selection.

I need help creating a script that calculates a persons age using their date of birth and date of deathThanks,mike

I have a fillable form that I've made for our sales team to use on sales calls. There are about 20 different fields per row in which they must either fill in data or choose an option from a dropdown menu. I've added a check box beside all of the rows except the first row that the user can check if they simply want to repeat the entire row of entries above. If they uncheck the box, the copied data is cleared from that row.The script that I've added to the box works for the form fields, but not the dropdowns. Can anyone help me figure out the script that I need to add/revise in order for the check box to work for the entire row above, including the dropdowns? Here is the script that is working for the form fields:this.getField("Location2").value  = ""if (this.getField('copy').value == 'Yes') {this.getField("Location2").value =  this.getField("Location1").value}this.getField("Qty2").value  = ""if (this.getField('copy').value == 'Yes') {this.getField("Qty2").value =  th

I am trying to make a tax form into a fill in that will calculate. The problem I'm running into is that I have to make a custom calculation script and I've never done that before. Most of the forms i have to make are very simple. line 1E (this is the line i'm putting the script in) shows (1A-1B+1C+1D)Sometimes line 1C can be a loss (negative number) but when calculating the taxable income you cant use a loss, only zero or positive numbers.So i believe i'd need an if/else statement something likeif 1C is < 0 then 1A-1B+0+1Delse 1A-1B+1C+1DI just have no idea how to put it in as the custom calculation script.I've read thru the forum but cant find anything dealing with this.Thank you!

I need to be able to copy an entire line of form fields and dropdowns if a user clicks a "copy line above" checkbox. I've figured out how to copy form fields, but the script I'm using won't work for the dropdown lists. Is it because I'm trying to copy the dropdown selection into another dropdown menu and not a text field?Thank you for any help

Using Acrobat Pro XI on a PC.Have form with 2 combo boxes.  Box 2 (descriptionSelect) is dependent on Box 1 (locationSelect).  Box 2 list contains both items and values, populated from array.  The values from box 2 are used to determine format of data entered into another field.All of this works great, except for one small problem.  When the form is submitted (to a network folder), the descriptionSelect item value does not transfer with the other form data.  Instead of the selected item description, it appears to reset to it's default value of "-".What could be causing the selected item from the descriptionSelect combo box to be reset to "-" upon submitting the form?Box 1 item list is already populated.  Item values only, no export values.  Custom Keystroke Script: "SetDescriptions();"Box 2 - item list dynamically populated from array. Array contains both item value and associated export value.  Custom Keystroke Script: "SetDataFormat()".I added

Hello Team,            As on today we are running the .Net application on 32 bit, but now we want to run our application on 64 bit machines. We are using the AxAcroPDF Viewer to view the pdf files in our application it is working perfect in if we run the application in 32 bit, where as if we build the application on 64 bit  platform the AxAcroPDF Viewer is not showing the files.  Please let us know if we have any solution to this problem.Thanks,Chakradhar

I use the ClearScan option to OCR my pdfs.  All are high quality scans and OCR is very accurate with one exception: Ligatures. Characters like ff, fi, fl etc. are not encoded properly, i.e., they show up blank.  While they look fine on screen it makes it impossible to rely on the OCR for searching the PDFs. To my bafflement Acrobat recognizes ligatures accurately when I don't do ClearScan but keep it as Image. I've tested multiple documents with both options, it's always the same.  Simple words like "different" are fine with the Image option but show up "di erent" with ClearScan from the same source. Clearly the mapping of the ligature to the respective two code points doesn't work as it should.How can I fix this?And, especially:  How can I fix this after the fact, given that I already have a large number of PDFs ClearScanned.Any help greatly appreciated!Thanks!

Hellosince Acrobat DC update, the Save As PDF Location window is... totaly blank !If I uninstall Acrobat DC, then at the very first start I have a list of folders, but after a while it stays definitely blank, and no options are provided else to close the window !the only way I have is to : Save As differently / Reduced Size / First save it, and stop before a reduced size one to get my document saved ! Crazy !Closing and reopening the software doesn't help.Why can't we have a regular Windows 10 "Save As" window instead of yours. We don't care about the previous locations, we can find them ourselves!Acrobat DC is definitely not a good update.Thanks for your answer/help

I have been using Acrobat X pro for several years to create PDF forms and save them with extended features so that the forms can be filled out with Reader.Recently some of the forms created have an error of, This Document Enabled Extended Features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available, Please contact the author for the original version of this document.I have searched the Adobe forum, and found problems like this but the solutions given are not fixing my problem,I have let Acrobat check for updates, and I have run the repair installation tool.Below is a screen shot of how I am saving the document, and the error Reader hasI am grateful for help to fix this issue.

Users reporting this error;"This document enabled extended features in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.  The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available.  Please contact the author of the original version of this document."...when trying to sign a document... Note that it is not happening to everyone.The "original" document is stored in Laserfiche depository and cannot be modified. So the users are saving a copy to their computer to fill & sign, before sending to supervisor for next signature.  Would this error happen if the user has a local copy pre-filled out and saved to their computer that they are using as a personal template?
