Questions

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

(JJPC MCKTOTAL1 + JDPC MCKTOTAL1)/2Can someone provide a Script for me to evaluate?Thank you

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. 

I have purchased a subscription to Adobe Acrobat Pro DC so that I can edit PDF files. I have opened the file in the correct program (not reader) and I can delete text and numbers, but cannot type in the corrected text or numbers.  I am also told that "the original font F2 is not available or can't be used in editing. Adobe Acrobat DC is using the font minion pro in it's place".  Why can't i just re-type in my changes within the text boxes? What am i doing wrong?

I need to create a simple dynamic stamp with a date/time field, which the user will use to indicate when a document was filed. The rest of the stamp is simple text, just their name and other identifying information. I created one according to the directions here: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/create-custom-dynamicstamp.html At first the stamp worked as expected for a few weeks/months, and then suddenly stopped working inexplicably. I have since created a new stamp, but using the following Javascript code instead: event.value = util.printd("mmm dd yyyy h:MMtt", new Date());console.println("Dynamic stamp calculation script"); Unfortunately it still does not work, and I am unable to determine why.

 I am trying to get an image into an appearance stream. I have the image as an XObject in a form and have created a PDEForm. the STAMPR sample was my base project.. What I am doing is in snippets below. the else case if I am not testing bmp is to do an altered form of what's in the sampe, which works fine. the last thing it does is explained and shown after the first snippets. if (pOptions->CreateAsStamps){annot = PDPageAddNewAnnot(pdPage, -1, ASAtomFromString("Stamp"), &pdLocation);}else{annot = PDPageAddNewAnnot(pdPage, -1, Stamper_K, &pdLocation);}PDTextAnnotSetContents(annot, CurrentTickItem->Desc.c_str(), strlen(CurrentTickItem->Desc.c_str()));cAnnotObj = PDAnnotGetCosObj(annot);cdoc = PDDocGetCosDoc(PDPageGetDoc(pdPage));...cAPDictObj = CosNewDict(cdoc, false, 1L);cNullObj = CosNewNull();if (bTestBmp){CosObj cosBmp = CreateBmpForm(CurrentTickItem->GethBmp());CosDictPut(cAPDictObj, FaceNormal_K, cosBmp);CosDictPutKeyString(cAnnotObj, Appearance_KStr,

Hi All, I'm new to this community and am simply looking to see what's needed to support programmatic conversion of PDFs to Word as part of a 3rd party application.  Can somebody please point me in the right direction?  I'm assuming that I need an SDK, but which one, and if you have a sample call or doc reference that'd be ideal!  Thanks.

I have a dropdown field with three choices. Based on the selection, I need a specific text form field to appear, and the others to remain hidden. (Or if it makes the code more clean, the resulting field could be a dropdown, too, with the appropriate choice selected.) I don't know Java well enough to extrapolate code from online examples and repurpose it for my forms. I can provide a sample form. Thanks in advance for your help.

This is my form: A costs 3.000€, B 2.500€ and C 2.000€ If A is selected total value must be 3.000, if B is also checked total must be 5.500€ and if C is also checked I should be 7.500. Basically I need to calculate the sum of all checked boxes. Thanks in advance, 

I'm using Coldfusion 2021 Enterprise and would LOVE to be able to determine if a particular PDF contains crop marks. Is there ANY WAY to do this? I don't mind using a 3rd party utility or SDK.

Good Morning,One of my users is trying to edit a PDF that does not currently have recognizable text. I understand that if none of the text is recognized you are unable to edit it until you run OCR.Although from my understanding with Adobe Acrobat DC after choosing "Edit PDF" Acrobat should automatically recognize the text on the first page to make it editable, although for my user after choosing "Edit PDF" they receive this error message: If I try the same process with the same document on Adobe Acrobat PRO DC the program will automatically recognize the first page and make it editable.So my question is: Is this problem occurring because we are using Adobe Acrobat Standard? I tried looking on your website to see what features do not come with Adobe Acrobat DC Standard but was unable to find any information regarding OCRing files automatically.Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to add a field to a fillable form so someone can upload a document or photo. Any help would be appreciated. 

I have a pretty large document that has over 200 text/check boxes. What I want to do is create a button that makes a pop-up warning for any blank fields in the entire document.Right now the only way I've seen to do this is using javascript using an array of every field and checking them 1 by 1 in a for-loop. I would like to avoid this as the array requires you to type the title of each field so with 200+ fields it becomes quite tedious typing them all in.Using Acrobat XI Pro, thanks.

I am looking to duplicate a single page dynamically based on the value of a text box. E.G. if the text box has the number 3 as a value, there will be 3 copies of this page. I assume this would be done using page templates, but I cannot find out how to create them in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. If this is not possible, is there another way of achieving what I want?

How do i add a page to a pdf?
