Hello,I'm new to using JavaScript (no training at all) and am trying to take a field that the user enters as a negative number and convert that number to a positive and then multiple by another field.This is what I wrote, but it is not working correctly so I think it has to do with the order.The first thing I'm trying to is to multiple by -1 to turn it to a positive number and then multiple by the other field.event.value = this.getfield("*S7 Special Functions Costs").value *-1 * this.getfield ("S5Total Meals"); The first thing I'm trying to is to multiple the field "*S7 Special Functions Costs" by -1 to turn it to a positive number and then multiple by the other field "S5Total Meals".  I'm using the this.getfield because my field names have spaces and I used the '*' in my field names to denote fields that were used in other spots, which made sense when I started since its a multiple page Projected Operating Costs and that was before I started doing math in the form. If a

I have a textbox that holds a time like "1:00 pm". I have another textbox below that I want to display 5 minutes added to the first box (1:05 pm). I've been looking through multiple forums trying different code, but the second text always displays "Invalid Date5". Here is the code I am using. var dater = "1/1/2020" + " " + this.getField("Start1").value var previousDate = util.scand("m/d/yyyy h:MM tt", dater); previousDate.changeBy({"minutes": 5}); event.value = util.printd("m/d/yyyy h:MM tt", previousDate);I'm very basic in Javascript so any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thank you! 

As soon as I open Acrobat Pro DC 2015 it automatically switches from onboard graphics (INTEL) to my discrete GPU (NVIDIA) which uses a lot of battery power. Is there a way to stop this so it only uses the intel? What does Acrobat need High Performance GPU for?Thank you.

When I am trying to create a calculated field in Adobe Acrobat I am unable to mark the fields for calculation.  I can select the field but I cannot check the field to identify it as one of  the fields I would like calculated.(Image One) I can however choose select all and all the fields get a check mark.(Image two) When I do this it seems to start multiplying random numbers (Image three)I am test driving this for my job at a Public Library and so far I am not impressed.Image oneImage twoImage ThreeThank you for your comments.Robin

I created a custom script that equates a percentage and that works fine. However, I get the error message of "the value entered does not match the format of the field". I believe that by other discussions I have read that I need to set a script that ensures the field has a non-zero value but don't know how to write it. My current calculation is: event.value = this.getField("Sponsor Total").value/this.getField("Overall Project Total").value

I have two form fields.  One is called SOP No and one called Version No along with a digital signature.  I need acrobat to save my document with the Date/SOP No/Version No once digitally signed and save it.  Can you tell me how I would do this?  Thank you in advance.

I'm new to JS. I know it should be easy to do that but I didn't find my answer anywhere.I have a check box that I want to be checked only if there is a value in either one of my three drop-down list. Every script I tried didn't work out. How should I write it ? If Drop1 or Drop 2 or Drop 3 is not empty, check Box 1Thanks again,

Hey all, I've been using this code in a JavaScript file saved in the application folder and calling the function from the Action Wizard but I want to paste the code from the JavaScript file into Action Wizard so I can transfer the Action Sequence across multiple computers and not have to worry about the JavaScipt file as well. Any ideas on how I would change this so runs inside of the Action Wizard?

Greetings!I have created a fillable form for my company. I have radio buttons that toggle on and off layers and interactive fields depending on what marketing piece the person wants to request.  If the person selects the "Flyer" radio dial, the form shows the only the layer and fields for Flyer-specific questions. It works great but for one issue: It does not save the last layer configuration after the form is saved and closed.  It does save the filled-in fields. The form default is to not have any questions showing (forcing the form-filler to select a radio dial).  But after the form is filled out AND saved, I want to the form to open on the layer that was saved. It currently reverts back to it's default blank state. I am a novice (literally brand new) to the world of Javascript.  Does anyone have a javascript code to fix my issue? Something I can copy and paste? Also, please specify HOW/WHERE to place the script in the document or attach it. I've tried o

Hi, I'm looking to automate the calculation of this form with simple check fields. These fields would each have their own assigned value and, at the bottom, the total sum of the fields selected would display. I'm new to acrobat and have found it hard to crack the javascript needed for this.Here's an example:+(The idea is that the value is displayed at the end instead of the client having to do the math on their end)

Hi all,  I am trying to automate bulk email generation using Adobe Acrobat Pro. I need to send documents from an input file to a fixed email address in bulk i.e. all docs attached in a single email.

Hi, Sorry to be asking again but I need some more help. I am trying to set up a PDF form in Acrobat 2017 to calculate the total of some cells. i.e    Field1 is CITY_RATE,  Field2 is COUNTRY_RATE, Field3 is NUMBER_DAYS and Field4 is TOTAL$ So if there is an entry in Field1 it is multiplied by Field3.  Using the calculate tab in properties I have been able to do this using "CITY_BFAST$, NUMBER_DAYS which does work.  But I want to set it up so that if I enter details in both Field1 & 2 they will both multiply by Field3 to give me a total in Field4 and this is where I am stumped.Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

The more simple the better. Thanks in advance,Gabor

Howdy, knowledgeables!I currently have eight tabs open on my browser in my effort to crack this code, and not one of them has helped me accomplish a simple, singular if/else effectively in a particular box's properties, which doesn't bode well for the fact that the ultimate if/else should be many, many lines tall.What I need to create is three auto-filling field variations, two of which are not mathmatically derived but are numerical values unique from but reliant on the user-entered value of another field, while the third field IS the mathematical sum of the two auto-generated fields, but only if a checkbox is marked. At this point, I would very much just appreciate hunks of text I can copy and drop where they need to go!So in other words, there are five total fields and one checkbox interacting in the chain: if the user enters into field "A" a value of "1", field "B" will automatically display a value of "3"; elsewhere, if the user enters into field "C" a value of "9," field "D" will

Hello all!Adobe Acrobat DC proMac os 10.12.6I want to create a acrobat action to split top level bookmarks using bm names for file names, to my surprise Adobe doesn't have that as an option under the "tools to add" when creating a new action. I was equally surprised to find very little discussion or code postings on the net about this subject.What I did find doesn't work. I was hoping one of the experts on the forum could take a look at the code below and give some direction on how to get it to work.Thanks in advance!!BookmarkCollection bookmarks = document.Bookmarks;for ( int index=0, fromPage=0; index<bookmarks.Count; index++ ){   // determine last page of next part   int toPage = -1;   Bookmark bookmark = null;   if ( index == bookmarks.Count-1 )   {      // last bookmark - append all remaining pages      toPage = document.Pages.Count;   }   else   {&n
