Hello dear Adobe Support Community,at the moment I'm working on a VB.NET project where I can merge several pdf-files to one pdf-file.I'm using the Acrobat Library to accomplish this.Now I have a problem with pdf-files which have security protections like read-only for example. Of course, this files can't be merged with the other files.The idea is to have a For-Loop which checks every single pdf-file and returns an error message if the file is read-only.My code looks something like this:Dim appAcrobat As Acrobat.AcroApp Dim apddSummary As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc ' This contains all single pdf-files in the end.' Dim apddSingle As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc ' This contains a single pdf-file.' Dim iNumPages As Integer Dim iNumPagesSub As Integer ' At this point he should check the files. ' apddSummary.Open(Cstr(Me.ListBox1.Items(0))) For Each strFound as String in Me.ListBox1.Items If Me.ListBox1.Items.IndexOf(strFound) > 0 Then iNumPages = apddSummary.GetNumPages() apddSingle.Open(st

This is my first post and I'm just starting out so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I can't figure out how to place a check mark in one of two fields automatically based on a calculated value compared to a range value. Any help is highly appreciated!

Hello, Java Script novice here. I've seen a few posts with this same question, but haven't quite gotten it to work yet. I have some fillable forms in which I would like an amount to populate in the corresponding text box when checked, but would like it to remain blank when unchecked. I would also like to have a total populate at the bottom depending on which boxes are checked, to be added to a base price. I was able to get it to populate the amount once it was checked, but then if I unchecked the box, the amount would stay in the field. I'm a complete beginner, so if I could be able to cut and paste a script that would really help. I have included one of the forms as a reference. Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

I referenced the Javascript documentation and tried using a Net.HTTP.request. The documentation only shows an example of how to do an MKCOL request, not a GET request.If I hard-code the cURL value, I get the value "undefined". If I try passing it through a variable (as in the example below), I get the error "Invalid Arguments".My code looks something like this:foo = app.trustedFunction(function (cURL) {    app.beginPriv();    var params = {       cVerb: "GET",       cURL: cURL,       oHandler: {            response: function (msg, uri, e) {                var stream = msg;                var string = "";          &nbs

Hello,  I am working on a proof of concept to be able to send a PDF to a web service,  I am running into a roadblock as to what it is sending and how the Web Service should be receiving the data.I read conflicting documents as to what Adobe sends.   Some say it is SOAP, some say HTTP, some say you need LifeCycle, some say you don't.  I have what I think is a valid Web Service(ASP.NET & C#) but after several attempts and variations the button returns an error in Adobe and no actions seem to be performed(I am trying to get it to write the file to the Server).  I've done web services in the past, but this is the first one I am doing where the sender is really a "black box" as to what it sends.I have basically been beating my head against the wall for a couple of days and I am really looking for an example(or even at this point a small snipit) of what the code I need for the C# side of the Web Service to accept the request.  Any links to additional so

Hi there! Am trying to use the "Custom Calculation Script" to calculate a percentage off a final sale for the "Amount Due" field. For example, if the total is $100 and I grant 25% off, I want the Amount Due to show as that. 

Hi,I'm trying to make a PDF reader with Excel - VBA. But, i'm having some troubles finding "Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library".I have Acrobat Reader DC installed in my machine.There is no way to get another reader, since this one is my company's standard and i'm not sure if this library is right for my reader.Ty!

Hey there everyone! I'm just stretching my coder wings in regards to javascript.I've been diving deep into custom PDFs and Calculations. What I'm trying to accomplish seems simple; but I can't find the resources anywhere to help me resolve the problem. Most likely it's because I don't get know how to ask the right question.What I'm trying to accomplish is to set up a Calculation where if a checkbox is activated (checked) then it Subtracts 1 from a specified Text (number) field elsewhere on the page. If I can get one checkbox working then I can implement the technique elsewhere and on future projects. The project I'm working on may seem frivolous, but it's a very valuable and practical learning activity for me. I'm currently making a custom Character Sheet for a Tabletop RPG. I have all the other fields functioning precisely as desired; but they're all simple addition or cloning of values from other text fields. So here's the situation:I have 12 check boxes; they represent dam

The goal is to programmatically OCR documents using Acrobat SDK. The adobe acrobat sdk "getting started" page lists OCR as a feature, however I cannot locate it anywhere in the documentation. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Getting Started — Acrobat DC SDK (adobe.com)    

I am currently trying to create a form within PDF it will allow the user to select from the drop-down menu and based on the selection will auto populate a text field with a statement.  I would also like the user to be able to edit the statement‘ Once it has been auto-populated. My drop-down menu “Shipdec2” My text field “statdec1” I would be grateful if you can assist. I am a beginner in adobe

Using Acrobat Pro I created a fillable PDF form for my clients who copy and paste a large amount of information. Because they are using Acrobat Reader, I have designated text field properties with desired font and size, multi-line, check spelling...and enabled "rich text formatting" so that they can manipulate their "raw" text as needed to be bold, italic, underlined, etc. However, when clients are copying and pasting the information it is coming in with their "source" formatting rather than that field's defined formatting. Yes, I get that this is due to the designation of "Rich Text Formatting." Gheez, if Bezos can send 90 yr old Cap't Kirk into space, then Adobe has to have a secret way for my client to have the lame, most basic text options available in a form field using Reader (when rich text formatting is enabled) but yet, also have source formatting removed when they are pasting in text. (BTW, this FREE form field I'm using to post this question has waaay more options.

Some of the tools in adobe have a side panel when they are active. E.g. comments (screenshot below). Is it possible to create a custom panel for my plugin using the SDK?  

Hi All, i want to make a survey in Indesign and save it as an interactive pdf. Is there any way in Acrobat to assign a value to checked checkboxes only and add these values with the results in a separate field? 

I have created a custom dynamic stamp but it does not update everytime I use it and have to go in and resave the custom calc to bring it up to date. It's a very simp[le stamp that has my name and a date variable. The issue is the date does not update dynamically. Here's the code I used which I found in these forums. what I'm I doing wrong for it to not use today's date? event.value = "Andy Phillips " + util.printd("mmm dd yyyy", new Date)  

I will post for the first time. Sorry for the beginner question. 【phenomenon】The SDK is used in the app using VB (C #), and the PDF preview is realized in the app.I have implemented the above process by calling the LoadFile method in AxInterop.AcroPDFLib.dll, but in rare cases it may freeze. The probability is less than 1%.As for the freeze event, when I click the app, nothing happens, and when I click the app after that, the error "Process is not responding." Is output from Windows.I have no choice but to restart the app.I think that the cause is probably the wait process due to the multi-threaded architecture of the VB application, but I would like to confirm it with caution. 【question】-Is there any etiquette when calling the LoadFile method?-Are there any bugs currently being discovered in LoadFile itself (although it would be very rude)? 【PC environment】Windows10 (1803) Thank you.

Hi,I know there's 3rd party libraries that can integrate reading and writing to pdf's in c# but I'm trying not to use them at the moment.  I've figured out how to open and read the field names from the pdf, as well as getting a specific field by calling InvokeMember and and using GetJSObject to getNthFieldName.  What I'm trying to figure out now is by knowing the field name, is it possible to get the type of field i.e. text, radio button, checkbox, etc.  Also, if it's a radio button, the values that can be selected and so on.  Anyone able to help me figure this out?  Here's a snippet of what I've tried:Acrobat.AcroApp acroApp = new(); Acrobat.AcroPDDoc acroPDDoc = new(); acroPDDoc.Open($@"{filesHolder.PdfFile}"); object jso = acroPDDoc.GetJSObject(); object[] args = new object[] { fieldPair.Value }; // the value is the index number on the pdf sheet to get the nth field name. this works for me. object nthFieldName = jso.GetType().InvokeMember("getNthField

I am trying to upgrade a plugin to 64-bit that is currently working as 32-bit but has not been touched in 10+ years.  And for the record, I wasn't the one that wrote it 10 years ago. I am trying to understand basic jargon to ensure I am in the right place.  Right off the bat, I find myself confused here: https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/acrobatsdk/gettingstarted.html It compares features across 3 different SDKs, or so it seems.  One is "DC", the next is "PDFL" and the last is "Acrobat".   But when I navigate to the download page (here: https://developer.adobe.com/console/servicesandapis), I see numerous SDKs.  One is called "Adobe Acrobat" and the text describes it as "The Acrobat DC SDK is a set...".  So this seems to encompass "DC" and "Acrobat" together, but the prior page listed them as distinct SDKs.  And for the "PDFL", not that I am likely to need it, I can't find anything in the downloads that looks lik

How do I find the AcroStan.msi installation file so Acrobat XI Standard can update to 11.0.16? It says Error 1706, that the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable, and to enter an alternate path to a folder containing that file.

Using the SDK and this.addWatermarkFromFile method works with the pdf supplied with the SDK, but when gererating a new PDF via Microsoft" Print To PDF or with Acrobat create new from file Word document it doesn't work.  It doesn't add the stamp at all.The method addWatermarkFromText works fine, but I need to add an image.If I do it manaully through Acrobat using the same files, it works fine.Any suggestions?
