Questions

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

I am completely new with javscrtipt.I got over 100 fileds in form and wanna show them all with one click.

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;

I am trying to install Adobe Acrobat Pro XI on a mac with El Capitan (10.11.2) everything is fine just before installation than I get a failure message, ,what can surmount this problem?

I have a machine learning app that use NLP models for text processing, i wanted to now if it's possible to creat a plug-in of my app to apply it directly to the pdf text ? Let's say my model will highlight stop-words in that pdf doc. Is it possible ? Thank you 

I have had multiple users report that when they create a text box in a PDF, the application hangs for 10 seconds or so before they are able to type text in the text box.  We use Acrobat XI, version 11.0.14 on Windows 7 Pro machines.  Any suggestions?

I want to check if what I am after is even possible. In short, I want to create a local JSON file that is essentially a dictionary that takes a word and the assoiated definition (eg: {word1 : definition, word2 : definition...} Then I want to be able to scan a PDF and automatically create a form for each keyword that is a tooltip/popup with the definition.  Very new to Acrobat, so am struggling to know where to start (or if it is even possible?). I'm assuming a document level JS that reads in the JSON file, but not sure how to automatically/dynamically create tooltips.

Hi All - Very new to the community and trying to solve a problem for one of our employees.We have hundreds of PDF documents that were given to us as print-out's. One of our employee's needs to open each file, determine some info from the data inside, such as the date, the customer, etc and then re-name the PDF using that data. Is there a way to automate this using Java Script or something else? I'd like to provide the basic details to our Development team so they can quickly write us a script to batch these.Thank you!Ryan

Hi all,  I currently created a form in which one to three users use the form to fill a report. User one will fill the section belonging to them and the next user will do the same. To prevent any work done by the previous user from being deleted I have a submit button to flatten the pdf. There are no fields as the users just jot down notes. The issue here being that the button flatten with the rest of the page. Is it possible to protect a previous user's work without disabling the submit button.
