I'm working with C# and adobe acrobat SDK. When the program throws an error due to the pdf already being compressed I want to move the pdf.However, C# complains that the file is being used by another process and I know it has to do with the SDK and not another program. After some debugging I found out that compressPDFOperation.Execute is the culprit.How can I close it so that I can move the file?  try { // Initial setup, create credentials instance. Console.WriteLine(".json: " + Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "/pdftools-api-credentials.json"); Credentials credentials = Credentials.ServiceAccountCredentialsBuilder() .FromFile(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "/pdftools-api- credentials.json").Build(); // Create an ExecutionContext using credentials and create a new operation instance. ExecutionContext executionContext = ExecutionContext.Create(credentials); CompressPDFOperation com

When I script the OCRing of an image PDF, it creates bounded boxes and can't find text unless the cursor is in that particular bounded box.However, if I manually (Enhance Scans > Recognize Text > In this file > Settings > Output = Editable Text and Images, OK) OCR the file, the findtext command works.Document is already open when I run this VBA script:Set aApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")Set aAVDoc = aApp.GetActiveDoc() Set aPageView = aAVDoc.GetAVPageView() Set aPdDoc = aAVDoc.GetPDDoc() pageCount = aPdDoc.GetNumPages  ' Get PDF OCR'd For curPage = 0 To pageCount - 1      aPageView.GoTo curPage      aApp.MenuItemExecute ("TouchUp:EditDocument") Next curPage  rtgFound = aAVDoc.FindText("accordingly", 0, 0, 1) rtgFound is False. If I manually OCR the document and run this code:Set aApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App") Set aAVDoc = aApp.GetActiveDoc() Set aPageView = aAVDoc.GetAVPageView() Set aPdDoc = aAVDoc.GetPDDoc() pageCo

Hey all, I'm working on a project where I need the choice on a dropdown menu to reveal and hide certain fields. I wrote a code that works just fine for text fields but will not work with an image field. Code below: switch(event.value) { case "Option A":this.getField("Text 1").display=display.visible;this.getField("Text 2").display=display.hidden;this.getField("Image 1").display=display.visible;this.getField("Image 2").display=display.hidden;break; case "Option B":this.getField("Text 1").display=display.hidden;this.getField("Text 2").display=display.visible;this.getField("Image 1").display=display.hidden;this.getField("Image 2").display=display.visible;break; } With this code applied to my Dropdown field my Text fields swap just fine, but the Images remain visible no matter the dropdown option chosen. Another thing I noticed is that whenever I rename an Image field it becomes a Button automatically. I thought that might be the issue, but I adjusted the code

Hello, I would like to calculate the time of the beginning of a treatment, depending on a date and  time of a medical exam selected in a fieldFor example, I select in the fiedl "Date exam" that the exam will be on the 2021/05/31 12H30so the time for beginning the treatment will be calculated : 12H30 - 6H = 6H30I don't need to see the date in the result, only the time. The date of the exam with time is written for information at the top of the prescription, this is why I don't use only a time.I would like also  to add or not an additionnal delay of 2 hours, depending on the answer of a radio button "Delay" (yes or not)the calculation would be : "Exam date" - 6 hours - (2 hours if Yes, 0 hours if Not). I am not familiar with java script and I searched among forums and could not find a precise answer and examples. Thank you very much

Is there a JavaScript for a date picker for a custom dialogue which is used to create an acrobat dynamic stamp? The custom dialogue has several text fields and radio buttons on it, and the user has to type in a date (not the current date). If it is possible, I would like the user to select a date from a date picker, but I don't know if this can be done.

I export hundreds of PDFs a day out of InDesign and want to see if there is a way to save a PDF export preset to save the presets for security settings so I can just type in the password.  Maybe there is a JavaScript with Acrobat that could do this?Or a batch action wizard?

Is there a way to edit values in a PDF Portfolio? I made a plugin for Adobe Acrobat Pro DC that adds a menu item and and does an action. Currently the plugin gets a page number from an open PDF Portfolio document and displays the page number in a popup window.  What I want to do is add that page number into a PDF Portfolio field for that PDF document. I read through the Developing Plugins and Applications Guide in the Acrobat SDK library documentation page, but I didn't see anything about updating Adobe PDF Portfolios.  Is it possible to update the PDF Portfolio with a plugin?  If so, can someone point me to the right direction or to some examples? Not sure if if helps, but I added an image of the PDF Portfolio. Thanks!

Hello,I am evaluating product to create pdf form that will email the file to us.

Hi All,I understand that technically I cannot completely restrict printing and that's fine. I have a print button on my form (with about 25 fields; some required others not) that I'm looking to use some javascript on that will check to see if all the required fields are filled in before allowing to print (any any type of button action). It's OK to print if all the required fields are filled in but some of the non required fields are blank. I found a good deal of answers from other posts but I think my issue (possibly) is that I have several drop down boxes in my form?I've pasted what I've found so far after doing some forum searching. My problem is that even when I fill in every single field and drop down in my form, I still get the alert saying I need to fill in required fields (instead of printing). My ultimate goal here is when the button is clicked, it checks to see if only the required fields are filled and if they aren't it returns a message saying fields need to be complete and

I need to create a search index for some documents.It seems like the JavaScript API does not support creating new search indices. For this reason, I have created an empty search index manually. I can use that to build the index like this: // Global declaration var oldDoc = null; var buildIndexJob = null; var buildIndex = app.trustedFunction( function(cDIPath, cExpr, bRebuildAll) { app.beginPriv(); oldDoc = app.activeDocs[0]; buildIndexJob = catalog.getIndex(cDIPath).build("doc=oldDoc; " + cExpr, bRebuildAll); app.endPriv(); }); // This is how I use the function buildIndex('/C/Some/Path/My Index.pdx', 'app.alert("Done");', true); For years, this has worked just fine. However, recently the code stopped working.The log file reads like this:Indexing 261 files Extracting : C:\Users\....\SomeDocument.pdf Fatal Search Engine Error : (-11) Failed to open file Deleting files from current index Error: Index build failedWhat is strange is that I can create the search

While the Adobe Acrobat DC SDK Samples Guide refers to a JS Collection Demo containing a number of javascript snippets (the contents of which are briefly described therein), I have been unable to find this collection anywhere online allegedly provided in PDF. As the Acrobat SDK samples guide appears to have been created/written in February 2021, I am somewhat surprised that I have been unsuccessful to date in being able to find the JS Collection Demo. If anyone knows where I can find and secure a copy of the PDF online containing the scripts, I would be most grateful? Thank you ahead of time.

My pdf files no longer print. After pressing PRINT the "Print to File" window comes up and I have to press SAVE AS to go to the next step. Once the pdf is saved it is no longer a pdf but a PRN file.

Halli Hallo,folgende Situation:Ich habe für einen Kunden eine Rechnungsvorlage mit Formularfeldern erstellt. Nun möchte ich dem Kunden die Rechnung so zur Verfügung stellen, dass er das Dokument als neue Datei speichern kann, ohne dass hiernach die Formularfelder noch zur Verfügung stehen, der Inhalt jedoch gezeigt werden soll.Der Kunde besitzt ausschließlich den Adobe Reader. (Erweiterte Reader-Optionen sind bereits vergeben). Erstellt wurde die Datei an einem Mac (Adobe Acrobat DC), verwendet wird sie allerdings auf einem Windows-Betriebssystem (Adobe Reader DC).Ich hatte überlegt einen Button mit Javascript zu erstellen, nur habe ich leider gar keine Ahnung von Javascript, deswegen wende ich mich jetzt an euch, wie ihr das lösen würdet.Eventuell wäre ja sogar jemand Bereit einen solches Script für mich zu erstellen.Viele GrüßeMaexel01

Hello, Is it possible to see the snippet runner work with DC SDK? P.

Hi,  Hoping that someone can help me with this. I am trying to figure out if, from a document, I can see if application buttons are clicked in Adobe Acrobat. In particular, I would like to see when an attachment is added or removed from the Attachments panel, but I can't seem to check this the way I expected.  I've come up with this bit of code:if (app.execMenuItem("AddFileAttachment")) { console.println("success"); }However, this block seems to actually run app.execMenuItem(), instead of checking to see if it ran.  A little confused both as to why this is happening, but also now wondering if there is a way to read when attachments are added or removed via the Attachment panel that would be best. 

Hi, all. I'm trying to put together an automated process that takes PDF files, performs OCR on each one to create PDFs with searchable text, and then runs an advanced search on the resulting files. It looks like Adobe's cloud-based APIs would work for this, but part of the goal is to do this locally, i.e. not an API call to an external web site to run the process. Preferably, this would be done with an actual Adobe SDK, not third party. C# would be the preference, if possible. All of my searches lead me back to the new web-based functionality. Is there an SDK available for offline processing that can handle this? Thanks!

How can I stop auto-rotate when using OCR
