Hi Guys, hoping someone can help me. I can’t change the unit measurements from inches to mm.  I make the change in the usual way via Preferences, Units and change from inches to millimetres but it won’t stick.  As soon as I close out and restart it defaults back to inches. I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.  I have run a disk repair and looked for latest updates but nothing helps. Can anyone help.Cheers Mark D.

I have this script setup to trigger on mouse up on a button action in my pdf The objective is to cycle through 3 colours so people can mark the status of a text field Red Amber or Green (RAG) This works if I hard code named colors in my events, so I thought I would do the smart thing and declare variables and setup custom colors. This is not working var MyCrimson = ["RGB",0.537,0.776,0]; var MyOrange = ["RGB", 0,0,1]; var MyLimegreen = ["RGB", 0,1,0]; if (color.equal(color.MyCrimson, event.target.textColor)) { event.target.textColor = color.MyOrange; } else if (color.equal(color.MyOrange, event.target.textColor)) { event.target.textColor = color.MyLimegreen; } else event.target.textColor = color.MyCrimson;But this does work (just ugly colors)if (color.equal(color.red, event.target.textColor)) { event.target.textColor = color.yellow; } else if (color.equal(color.yellow, event.target.textColor)) { event.target.textColor = color.green; } else event.target.textColo

I am using Adobe Acrobat DC and I find that I am often making the same formatting changes to things like date fields so that they appear dd/mm/yy or turing off border and fill colours for tick boxes/radio buttons. Is there a way to set these defaults at a program level, so that I don't need to keep making these small changes?

I have used IAC to copy pdf page image to the clipboard.  Here is the code that no longer works (it was working for a long time until a week ago).  The code still works on our old Acrobat XI Pro systems; it fails on Acrobat DC systems.  The exception is always thrown.  Does anyone know what happened or how I can solve the problem?private Image getImageFromDocPage(CAcroPDPage pdfPage){Image img = null;CAcroRect pdfRect = new Acrobat.AcroRect(); // the pdf regionCAcroPoint pdfPoint = new Acrobat.AcroPoint(); // the pdf pointpdfPoint = (CAcroPoint)pdfPage.GetSize();pdfRect.Left = 0;// Tricky!

Hi,I have been using a modified version of the code on this website (Read And Write PDF Forms From Excel (VBA) ~ My Engineering World ) to copy text from an excel document to a PDF template and then save the result. Now I want to have the macro also add in an image to the image field in my template. I'm pretty new to VBA coding, so appologies if this is a dumb question.Basically for my text I was just using "objAcroPDDoc.GetJSObject. GetField.[field name].Value" to highlight the relevant field in the PDF and paste in the value from my excel file. But I'm not sure how to modify it to have it add in an image from a specified file path instead.Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,I have been using a custom javascript I wrote for years on Acrobat Pro 6. It also works on Acrobat Standard X but I have not been able to get it work on Acrobat Reader DC. The javascript finds a location for a signature field, creates the field, then signs it with a Digital Certificate Signature. everytime the code gets tofield.signatureSignThe console gives  a Notallowed security error. I already have a trusted function etc (this all worked in Acrobat X) but cannot get it to work in DC Reader.After it errors, I can click on the signature field with my mouse and Reader DC pops up up the sign dialog and I can then sign the file, so reader is working with the digital ID, is able to sign the documents etc, but not from javascript? Can anyone tell me whats different, is this a function not available in Reader?Can anyone confirm they can get Adobe Reader DC to  field.signatureSign in javascript correctly  Code section below, it is "C:\Program Files (x86

Hello Adobe Support Community,I'm new to the Acrobat SDK and have only used some of the features. I'm using the Acrobat library through VB.NET right now and I'm trying to check, if an user is actually logged in in Acrobat at the time he's using the program I wrote.Because I will get an error message everytime if I'm not logged in. Is there a way through the Acrobat library to check this?

Hi, I have minumal experience in Java/coding, but understand the basics due to some programming classes I've taken in the past. I'm making an order form that a customer can change the quantity entered and add it to their order with a Checkbox. There is a suggested quantity that will already be entered. I have managed to create multiple Text fields with a script to calculate the price(Total) that is activated by a Checkbox. Next to each Text field is the Checkbox that turns the field "Off" or "On". It works fine with one, but I have 7 and each time I enter a new calualation in a new, unrelated field, it randomely cancels out the some of fields above it. See below. All are checked, so all should have the Total price entered.I was originally using these scripts in each of the Total Text fields.event.target.value=this.getField("QTY ST NE").value*30; event.value = 0;(this.getField("Check Box1").value!="On")event.target.value=this.getField("QTY ST WPA").value*35; event.value = 0;(this.getFie

Hello Everyone, I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC version to save PDF File as .txt file. Set objJSO = objAcroPDDoc.GetJSObjectobjJSO.SaveAs GetTextFilePath, "com.adobe.acrobat.plain-text" This worked very well until I received a scanned PDF file with page size 22inch x 27inch. It doesn't produce text file out of it.  Anyone please suggest what approach should I take?

I have a form with 3 buttons:1. a button to check to see that all dropdown fields are not default value (also set to visible, but does not print)2. a Save button, which does 2 things (first, make all fields "read-only" and secondly open the "Save As" menu item (set to visible, but do not print)3. a button to clear "reset" form (set to visible, but does not print)My issue is, when I was testing the read-only javascript code, I saved the form, yes I realize not the same as printing, however, when I opened the saved form, all fields were set to read-only, as I wanted, but I also noticed that button #1 was not showing, which I thought was strange, but then I went though all of the properties of each button, but each buttons properties for display purposes were the exact same.So why would that first button not show when being saved, but the other two did?

Hi - I've created a PDF Form with Acrobat. I'm automatically filling the form fields with data from a SmartSheet.  I have some fields that I need to change the background fill color of depending on the content of the field, once filled. For instance, if the field value is "Green", I would want to change the background fill color of the field to Green, etc. Would this be a Custom Format Script? It seems like it would be. Can someone provide some assistance on what this code would look like?  This is my first crack at using Javascript in Acrobat, so a bit lost.  Here is my first attempt:var status = this.getField("Risk/Issue 1 - Status Color");if (status.value = "Green")status.fillColor = color.green But that results in the following error:InvalidSetError: Set not possible, invalid or unknown.Field.value:2:Field Risk/Issue 1 - Status Color:Format I seem to be stuck at the starting gate. Any assistance is appreciated. Tony

Hi everyone!  I am trying to figure out how to copy a PDF document with multiple different watermarks. I have Adobe Acrobat pro. I found a code online (copied below), but when I enter this, the code only produces a 'COPY OF THE INITIAL FILE' and 'Doc COPY 01' but it does not create the additional watermarked files. Additionally, one line is appears at the bottom of the javascript code saying 'undefined'. If anybody has any suggestions, that would be hugely appreciated. Code: // ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— // ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— // ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— // // C R E A T E C O P I E S O F A P D F W I T H U N I Q U E W A T E R M A R K S // // // This script prompts the user to select a PDF // file and makes copies
