Hi,I have created a form with a possibility to upload a pictures. I don't know why, but picture is always rotated from vertical to horizontal position. How to avoid this?

Hi I tried your DC software, didn't like it (kept messing up documents), canceled and yet I have been charged.... How can I get a refund for the charge I didn't want going out?The "real help from real people" isn't real people, it's help topics...Which is not at all helpful for me, especially as I'm dyslexic! P.s it's a bit of a dirty trick taking bank details before trial, hoping people like me will have difficulty cancelling 

I'm creating my very first custom dynammic stamp to apply to exhibits used in court. I want the file name to automatically appear on the stamp. I've created the tesx field and added the following custom calculation script:event.value = event.source.source.documentFileName.replace(".pdf", "");Nothing happens when I apply the stamp to a document. The stamp appears, but no file name appears on the stamp.Any suggestions as to what I've done wrong?

I am creating a bracket style form pdf. each bracket will have a form field to add a name but there will be instances the bracket needs to be left blank due to the rotation of people. is there a way to either fill a field in with "Blank" or leave it blank that the background color changes to black? Picture enclosed of my bracket example.

Hi All,  I have got a form with a button which adds attachments which works great, however i have also got a button to reset the form which clears all the fields however it does not delete the attachments.Is there a script i can use in the reset button which can delete attachments same time it clears the form? Thanks in advance  

Hi All,  So i work for a company and they have a DVD of acrobat 9 standard with a lot of licenses and im trying to find a better way to distribute these to employees for installation. Currently we have to physically mail the dvd out, have the employee install with the provided serial number and then ship it back, this can take a lot of timer per employee. When i download the acrobat 9 standard installer it says serial is invalid and after some research appears that the serial is only valid with the DVD(not sure if specific to that DVD). So what im wondering is is there anyway to circumvent having to use the DVD and be able to send the employees a link to download the installer rather than waiting for the physical DVD to arrive?

Hi,I am developing a PDF fillable form for travel requests. I want to be able to calculate additional mileage with a checkbox. If a person inputs the mileage into the mileage box, and the current govt. rate, then it will calculate in a different field. I can do that calculation as "product". However, I would like to add that if the person selects the checkbox marked "RT-round trip" it will double the mileage and times by the govt. rate. I am assuming I can only do this using javascript and am a "noobie" to writing javascript. I have looked at several discussions and websites for help but can't quite seem to grasp what is needed. The fields are identified as such: "Estim.Miles1", "Check Box 1", "Rate/Mile", "Mileage.TOTAL" Any help on this would be appreciated.Thank you

I am chugging along on completing a fill-in form in Acrobat XI.  I have come to a requirement for a field calculating a subtraction operation.  When I select simplified field notation on the Calculate tab and then click the edit button, the Create and Edit JavaScripts box opens as it should and I can enter my formula, but the is no OK button or similar anywhere on that box to save the work, as there should be, and if you just close the box the work is lost.  And yes I have tried enlarging the window for the box with the thought that it might not have come up large enough to show the OK.  No dice.What the heck is going on?Clay

Hello,I am trying to implement a prototype that is able to take a list of image files in Excel and print/convert these files to PDF. I believe there may be some possibilities to how to implment this and am asking if anyone knows if they are practical:Is it possible to use the Adobe VBA SDK to access the "Create - > PDF from file" that is available from the file menu of adobeIs it possible to use the print shell command to print the file and automaticly select the "Adobe PDF" printer.Is it possible to use a shell command to access the "Adobe PDF" printer or Adobe Acrobat 2017 app directly to print the image file. Win 10Adobe Acrobat 2017 (pro) Regards,Daniel

I am having trouble diagnosing the technical issues that caused these images to be refused and would greatly value any comments of suggestions regarding what I should do to become acceptable to Adobe. 

I have a fillable PDF that triggers a hidden page template when the button "Add Benefit" is clicked.  However, it always places that spawned page at the end of the document and I need it to go after page 5 and continue to go in order if button clicked on the subsequent spawned pages that pull in.  I have searched for the Javascript syntax to do so but am not having any luck finding it for my specific situation.   Current syntax is:  var a = this.getTemplate ("Add Benefit");a.spawn(); I know it needs something about nPage or numPage but I can't figure if it needs the bRename or any of the bOverlay commands. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

Hi,I am trying to find any information about spawning the template page at the beginning of the document, but no luck. I only found this topic: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-sdk-discussions/spawning-pages-to-specific-spot-in-pdf/m-p/11128264#M5768but the documentation link is not valid anymore.I wanted to spawn the template pages (2 of them) at the beginning of the document.

I was wondering about if it was possible to use the Acrobat SDK to automatically create the Adobe Accessibility Report (Under Tools, Accessibility), as well as save the html report file that was created. Is this at all possible? The report should have the same formatting as the manually saved PDF Report and should resemble the screenshot below but in html form. Any help is appreciated.

I have a PDF form with numerous fields.  It is was created using Adobe Acrobat DC Pro as a form.  What I mean is, they are Adobe PDF Fields, not just emty spaces on the document.  I also have a Digital Signature. It seems that Adobe Fill and Sign prefers to CREATE and Fill fields.  But that is not what I want.  I want to Fill already existing fields. How do I do that?I have no problems with the digital signature part.Device is Android Phone 

We use Acrobat Pro DC a greater deal in our business.This toolbar pops up whenever the mouse gets close to it covering up what is under it.It has the same tools as the regular toolbar at the top of the window so it really servers no purpose other then to hide what is under it.Is there a way to turn it off permanently?

I have a form that has several radio button and checkboxes.  I do not want the form to be submitted until all the required fields and at least one checkbox are checked.  Once complete, the form will be emailed to me. The required fields work like a charm.  However, I can't seem to get the checkboxes to do the same....checked or unchecked, the form still attempts to email me (see example).   I've read several older posts that were shared but I'm missing something.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Below is the script: var emptyFields = [];for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));if (f!=null && f.type!="button" && f.required && f.valueAsString==f.defaultValue) {emptyFields.push(f.name);}}if (emptyFields.length>0) {app.alert("You must fill in the following fields:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n"));} else this.mailDoc({cTo: "diane.hands@wellstone.com",cSubjec

Hello, First off,  there used to a separate sub-forum for Acrobat SDK questions, for developers of Acrobat plug-ins, which was separate from the main Acrobat forum, which is mostly user questions.  But now, the link to https://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/acrobat_sdk simply redirects to the main Acrobat forum at https://community.adobe.com/t5/Acrobat/bd-p/acrobat.  So it seems that Adobe has forgetten about us plug-in developers, and our need to be able to ask SDK-specific questions without them being lost in a sea of user questions.  So I'm posting here. Anyway, the main reason I'm posting is that, with the latest auto-update to Acrobat DC on Mac, version 2019.21.20048, Adobe seems to have added entitlements to Acrobat to run on macOS 10.15 "Catalina."  That's all fine, and Adobe has to follow whatever new requirements Apple places on apps, just like the rest of us do.  Unfortunately, though, the addition of the entitle

I'm currently using rectangle links that clip into the text that I want the user to click.Does anybody have c++ code for Acrobat Pro DC toCreate a named destination to a page number that is currently valid, but allow the user to come in later insert pages in between and retain the destination.On a different page add what appears to be (and prints as) ordinary text but is actually a link to the named destination.Failing that, how do I turn my rectangular link annotations invisible so they don't interfere with the link text?

Copying and pasting a few pages of text paragraphs into a new PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.  The error "text has overflowed the page boundary".  What settings are needed in Acrobat Pro DC to allow text to overflow from one page to another?   I know how to do this in Livecycle but client cannot afford reader extensions so I need to produce their PDF's in Pro DC.  Thanks in advance for your help.

I searched the forum for this - and apologize if an answer is out there. I created a PDF that has a dropdown menu called "Options"...with 12 options. One of the drop down options is PIII and I have three fillable text fields that correspond with that option: Type of PIII FundingYOFPIII CF What I would like to do is have those text fields not fillable/"locked" - unless the user chooses PIII from the drop down menu. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

First time posting. I received my API client ID and modified sample code to try out PDF embedding. It showed the PDF file for a moment, but then immediately went to an error. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, and it's probably a face-palm mistake, but not sure what it is... 

Hi!Is it possible to run a script that will force all letters in specific fields to appear as upper or lower case as soon as one hits tab or clicks the mouse on another field?  This field would also need to remain capitalized through saving & printing.Thanks!Dawn

Thanks in advance for help anyone can give. I'm trying to figure out how to rearrange pages by keywords already in the text. For example: We have a PDF with 100 invoices for band books and want to arrange them by instrument. Using the search function, I can find every place the word "Flute, or Trumpet" appears, but I'm hoping to find a way to search for "Flute" and then move those pages together to the top of the PDF. Repeating this for each instrumentation until all 100 pages are rearranged in the order we need. The only way I know of to rearrange pages, is by selecting each thumbnail (either in the thumbnail preview bar at the side, or in the "organize pages" function) and manually moving them into place. A few searches I've done lead me to think I need to use some sort of Script? I'm still in the learning phase, and don't understand yet what that means.
