Questions

I have an Acrobat plugin for digitally signing PDFs. It's focused on handwritten signatures and, as such, doesn't need to support either Time Stamp or invisible signatures. Is there a way to tell Acrobat not to use my plug in for those functions? Alternatively, can I tell if I'm being called for those functions and return a code for cancel/error (possibly after displaying an error message)?

Hello,My problem is that I don't understand why the fontFamily property of the SPAN object doesn't accept a method that returns an array, but if the fontFamily property is passed an array directly, everything works. To make a long story short. Here are two cases:objA = { text: "Hello, World", alignment: "left", fontFamily: ["Helvetica", "sans-serif"] }; getField("myTextFieldName").richValue = [objA] // WORKS! objA = { text: "Hello, World", alignment: "left", fontFamily: function(){return ["Helvetica", "sans-serif"]} }; getField("myTextFieldName").richValue = [objA] // NOT WORKING!I need to randomly generate a font type in a form based on a button press. Therefore I need to pass the fontFamily property the result of the function, unfortunately the console doesn't tell me anything and I can't find why it doesn't work. The text appears, other properties like alignment and textSize.. too, but fontFamily does not. var objSpan = { text: "Hello, World", alignment: "left", text

Hello,I can't move the x1 coordinate of the text2 field - the field won't change. The console does not display anything. Thanks for the advice// getField("text1").rect = [0, 500, 200, 450] — field already exist // getField("text2").rect = [0, 450, 200, 400] — field already exist // 1. case — DOESN'T WORKS var text1 = getField("text1").rect; getField("text2").rect[0] = text1[0]+100; // END of 1. case // OR //2. case - DOESN'T WORKS getField("text2").rect = [ text1[0]+100, text1[0], text1[0], text1[0] ]; // 2. CASE — DOESN'T WORK // END of 2. case

I put the date in the title in case someone else is searching and gets as frustrated as I am trying to find what is current. In the SDK docs, it says Adobe maintains a registry to assign your prefix, but has no link or other info. I did some searching and found this:https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/prefix-id-registration-web-page-missing/td-p/8883049 It's a few years old. I sent email to the address mentioned and didn't get a bounce but haven't received any response either. Is that current? If not, what is?

Hallo liebe Forummitglieder,ich bräuchte einmal eure Hilfe.Hier meine Formel:var B = this.getField("Berechnung_A").value;if(3 < B){this.getField("Ergebnis_Belastungsgrenze").value = "ja";}else{this.getField("Ergebnis_Belastungsgrenze").value = "nein";} Leider funktioniert die Formel nicht. Auch wenn der Wert sich verändert und > oder <  3 ist wird immer nur "ja" angezeigt.Wer könnte mir sagen, wo der Fehler ist bzw. was ich an der Formel ändern muss, damit es klappt. Der Wert aus der Ergebnis Belastungsgrenze wird berechnet. Danke und viele GrüßeStephanie

I have been poking around looking for such a sample and haven't found one. I need to save some add in specific data in documents when the add in is used. Thanks!

Hi all, I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 and I am trying to extract every two pages of a multi page PDF. The two pages that are extracted have an ID that can be searchable if all words in the document are put into a string. I have created similar code that works, but it is supposed to extract every page and rename it the first 8 digit code it can find using regular expressions. Take a look at the below code and let me know what you thing. Thanks!/* Extract 2-page funding notice */ // Regular expression used to acquire the base name of file var re = /\.pdf$/i; // filename is the base name of the file Acrobat is working on var filename = this.documentFileName.replace(re,""); for (var i = 0; (i * 2) < this.numPages; i++) { // Loop through the entire document numWords = this.getPageNumWords(i); // Find out how many words are on the page var WordString = ""; // Prepare a string for (var j = 0; (j < numWords; j++) // Put all the words on the page into a strin

Hi, I have a simple age calculator based on the year 2022 in one of my PDFs.  If there's no data present in the year field, it automatically shows "2022" in the text.   This is my code: // Get first field valuevar v1 = getField("Year 1").value;// Set this field value equal to the differenceevent.value = 2022 - v1; How do I get it to return a "zero" or no data, if the Year 1 field is left blank? 

Hi,I would like to know how to create a javascript format file which I can save to my Acrobat javascript directory so that I can easily use that option for any pdf with one click. I tried it by pasting the script to notpad++ and saving the file as javascript format. When I moved that file inside installed acrobat javascript folder, I cannot able to see any option in my add on section in Acrobat.   Thanks in advance for help.

I own and maintain the Perl library PDF::Builder, used for generating PDF files. I have encountered a possible problem with Adobe Acrobat Reader (64-bit) on Windows 10. The resulting PDF behaves as expected for "Tw" operators in the stream for core fonts and T1 fonts. However, it seems to be ignored for all the TrueType (.ttf) fonts I tried. Attached is a sample PDF, giving results for Times-Roman core font, English Towne Medium TrueType font, and URW Palladio-L Type 1 font. Each has a line with -5 Tw, 0 Tw, 3 Tw; and then a line with 10 Tc. The TrueType example also has a closed-up line where I individually place each word, emulating a 40% wide space. As far as I can see, the PDF is created with the expected Tw (or Tc) operators. Am I doing something wrong, or are TrueType fonts really a problem? The sample Perl program (as .pl.txt) is also attached, if you can read Perl. In the documentation for Tw, it mentions that it looks specifically for x20 ASCII spaces. For TrueType font o

I'm looking at the CreateThumbs method of AcroExch.PDDoc, but the documentation is pretty thin.Are the thumbnails it creates internal to the PDF or are they some kind of image file (.jpg, .png, .gif, etc) external to the PDF itself?If they're external, where are they saved to?  The only parameters for the method are the page range.I'm creating the COM object via Powershell:$a = New-Object -ComObject AcroExch.PDDocBut I'm not sure how to proceed from there.  Should I open a PDF document using the Open method?  E.g.,$a.Open('file path\filename.pdf')If I use the CreateThumbs to create a thumb of just the first page, e.g.,$a.CreateThumbs(0,0)Powershell replies "True", but where's the thumb created?Thanks for any guidance ...Christian Bahnsen

We are developing plugins in C++.The plugin stopped working in Ver.2022.003.20310.The same applies to Ver.2022.003.20314.Windows 10, 11 Acrobat DC Pro 32bit 64bitIn the folder "plug_ins", create our folder, for example "aaaa",There are ****.dll and ****.api, and at startup, both communicate and the plug-in starts, butCommunication has become impossible with Ver.2022.003.20310. We also understand Enabling custom policies.

I am completely new with javscrtipt.I got over 100 fileds in form and wanna show them all with one click. Is there any way of doing with simple scripting other than calling the field one by one ? var r1 = this.getField("aa");var r2 = this.getField("bb");var r3 = this.getField("cc");var r4 = this.getField("dd"); var flagBtn = this.getField("Flag");var showAll = flagBtn.buttonGetCaption();if(showAll == '0'){flagBtn.buttonSetCaption('1');r1.display = display.visible;r2.display = display.visible;r3.display = display.visible;r4.display = display.visible;}else{flagBtn.buttonSetCaption('0');r1.display = display.hidden;r2.display = display.hidden;r3.display = display.hidden;r4.display = display.hidden;}

Let's say I have a huge bunch of 50K+ PDF files that should be exported to DOCX format with OCR applying on PDF. While I can easily export them using the SDK, I would like to know if there is a reliable way to automatically assess the accuracy of the export operation because it's not feasible to manually check the results of 50K outputs. Any suggestions?Thanks everyone!~Veslav

My Acrobat Pro XI has stopped working, and I believe it is because some part of the program are accidentally removed or sth like that. I get the following error message:Well, I tried to reinstall it. The problem is that I do not remember my serial number. And I did not use any sort of clouds for buying the software at the time. I just got the serial number and that was it. Now when I want to reinstall the software, it asks me whether I want to install the trial or if I have the serial number. I really don't know what to do.

I think my question on a previous thread got buried. The answer I need has also changed slightly so I'm starting a new thread in hopes that I'm able to get clarification.I have a dropdown with 10 options, but I need the number of field groups to become visible based off of the user's selected number in the dropbox. For example, if "1" is selected from the dropdown, then I need all the fields in field group "SDP1" to be visible and the other 9 groups to be hidden. If "2" is selected, then I need all fields in groups "SDP1" and "SDP2" to be visible while the other 8 groups are hidden. If "3" is selected, then I need all fields in groups "SDP1", "SDP2", and "SDP3" to be visible while the other 7 groups are hidden. I need this progression all the way up through "SDP10".

I know that you can save directly from Acrobat to SharePoint manually from the interface...but I'm trying to save to SharePoint (via a trusted function) through JavaScript.I'm having some issues in that...if I force a connection to SharePoint (intranet) manually my script will succeed.  But if the user logs off and back on and then loses that connection, my script will fail.  I've been working with our network guru and here is a question he is asking.  I have no clue, but any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!!Is there any way for a script to access the sharepoint web connector? It seems to pass through authentication without any issues. Currently making webdav conections but it only works if the user already has an open and authenticated connection. If the connection isn't already established it just fails. Thanks everyone!!!Karen

I have a multiple forms combined into  one large PDF.  The forms are related, but each  relates to a different situation/case.I would like to bave a button on each form so that I could, if needed,  extract it from the larger pdf.I am just getting started and have used this JS---- this.extractPages(0,5);  or  this.extractPages({nStart:5});This  opens a file containing the extracted pages in a new window. The  file name is Acr( followed by numberical gibberish).temp. I can  then   save and rename that file.Is it possible to have the temp file be automatically given a specified name that is compposed of the names from two blanks in the form?  For example, if the extraced portion dealt with Mr. Jones's 6th case,  the extracted file would be named --Jones6.pdf. or Jones6.temp, or whatever. Then I oculd just save and it would be over. I have Adobe acrobat Pro DC. I think that someone using the form with Acrobat REader would not

Just want to verify for security purposes if it's possible to extract 3D data from a 3D PDF.I have been told be outside companies that it is NOT possible, but want non-biased input from actual Adobe employees or other experts.

Hi, I have created a button to spawn new pages based on the template page in a PDF form. and in the template page, there is a field to generate sequential number everytime I spawn a new page, the trouble is every time I saved it and reopen it, the number goes up by "1", which messed up the whole document, so how am I able to set a condition to it to stop it updating every time I save it and reopen it. Does anyone have a clue to it please? Thanks very much. The scripts I used for both spawning page and sequential numbering are here:this.getTemplate("Task Card").spawn(this.pageNum+1,true,false); var num = this.getField("task no 1");num.value = Number(num.value)+1;num.defaultValue = num.value;
