Questions

I have Adobe Acrobat DC (updated to 15.006.30119) being used with a Windows 10 system and a Chrome browser (updated to Version 48.0.2564.109 m).  The Adobe plug-in is enabled and we can see the Adobe button used to convert a web page to a PDF.  However, when when we try to convert any web page to a PDF via Chrome (selecting "Convert Webpage to PDF ...") we get an error notice "Conversion Failure" with no other information.  When I try to use the same extension in Internet Explorer 11, nothing happens at all (no error message and no PDF created).Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this?

There is any way of moving a file or copy and delete it in JavaScript? I want to make a action that OCR the pdf file and after completion move it to another folder.. That would be very usefull. Thank you in advance

I have a PDF document with form fields that is 3 pages long. I have considered this my "Template". However, some users may need this template to extend up to 17 pages long sometimes and when I merge another page of course it duplicates because the form fields are the same name. How can I add similar pages but not have two particular form fields duplicate?

Good Morning, I am trying to revise a form that was created by a predecessor of mine which uses' many custom calculation scripts that are inter-related as a way of form validation. I am trying to add my own custom calculation script to a box (Box27b) that will require information to be placed into it per our standards. But, once I sign the document (IAOsign) I would like for that information to disappear/redact from the document, while still leaving the many other numours fields inside of the document in its read-only state upon my signature.

I have an acrobat form with 2 pages. Page 1 is interview questions with open-ended text boxes to record responses and page 2 has more interview questions, but the possible responses are in dropdown boxes instead of open-ended textboxes. A dropdown on page 2 ('Type') currently has a keystroke event to reset the entire form. Once you change the selection on this 'Type' dropdown, the entire document is reset. The keystroke event is :  if (event.willCommit) this.resetForm() I want to reset the dropboxes on page 2 only, but leave the textboxes on page 1 untouched. How do I do this in Javascript?

Hey, I need help to use values from two different textboxes and show the result in the third box.example: Box1: 15 (adjacent)Box2: 115 (hyptotenuse)Box3: I need the sin angle Anybody that can help me with the "Math.asin" code for this? Thank u in advance!! 

I created a form with 3 pages. I tried to have pages 2 and 3 as Templates and hide them. But when I create templates and hide the one related to page 2, I have an Adobe pop-up error "Paramètre erroné" and even if I click OK it won't disapear.I already tried to combine my PDF with a blank one and then delete the extra page but it didn't work. (Solution I found in Adobe Help)Since it took me 2 weeks to create my form and it has a lot of JS calculations, start again is not a solution. What are you proposing  ? 

Hi. I've got a problem. I'm looking for a way to make a two different font styles in one box. I managed to make a fillable form that has a default text like:[  company name ]when the user writes down his company's name the text disappears, or when he clears his data, the default text is back. That works fineWhat I try to do is to make a default text in italic style, while the user written text would be in bold style.Is it possible to achieve through some Java script? To make two different font styles in one box?Thanks in advance 😉 

I have a batch of stamps I use for marking up documents in Acrobat, and see I can only do one at a time. I'm running the latest release of Acrobat on my Mac (Cataline). How can I add more than one to the Stamps palette? Is this possible?I'm more than comfortable running a Terminal command or dredging through the Contents folder. Thanks!

Hi,  Is there any on-premise server side solution available to compare PDF files similar to the Acrobat desktop application ? 

I am studying the Acrobat DC SDK Documentation, which states that I should register a four character prefix with Adobe for my plug-in.  How is that done?  Whom should I contact?

Hello Everyone,I need to implement a decision tree in a pdf.  We need to ask a series of questions where the next question is dependent on the current answer and there are ten different question paths.  At the end of a question path I’d like to send an email containing the user’s answers. Rather than using a pdf form to ask the questions, I’d like to present the question on a page with the answers displayed as images that when clicked takes the user to the next question.  I was hoping to somehow capture each image clicked (i.e., the answer to each question) then email them to myself. I am trying to determine how to best build this solution this using Acrobat Pro.  People would be answering the questions using Acrobat Reader. Could I call a javascript function when an image is clicked that saves a value (i.e., the answer) to an array then at the end send the contents of the array as an email? Or, perhaps I could use a hidden form whose field value

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to create fillable forms and collect responses. I have collected a large handful of forms and only half of them are importing properly into the response file. The other half give me this error message "Acrobat could not collect data from the file [FileName.pdf] into this response file. Either it is not a valid form that was completed and returned to you, or you don't have access rights to it.When I open the PDF itself in Acrobat Pro, I have not problem viewing the contents. However, it seems like it is not recognizing the sections of response fields that have text in them. I am not sure if that makes sense.I think there may be issues with some people filling out their forms on Mac and I am using Windows, but I need a solution that will allow me to meet everyone's needs.If anyone can suggest troubleshooting options or provide support, it would be most appreciated.Thanks!

We have several custom dyanamic stamps that our users use on PDF documents.  They usually come out to be about 524x244pixels or 1.747x0.813inches, which is the page size of the stamp pdf itself (the 2nd page, first is 8.5x11 as per most stamps).  Sometimes however, when placed on a incoming PDF they are sized down to a speck and have to be manually resized.  Almost all of the time they get placed without issue at the default size... so it is difficult to readily replicate or identify the root cause.  I checked the javascript on the stamp itself and the only code there is for the dynamic events (name & date).  Nothing to indicate size, orientation, or placement coordinates.  I haven't been able to find any other articles with the same issue. Thanks, if anyone has seen this sizing issue or knows how to prevent this going forward.

Hi,I am trying to validate a number field. The validate range function is great, but I have two ranges that a number can fall between. I need to validate the number as being .75 or in the range from 2.25 to 6.00. I have ZERO idea how to even start that custom validation script in Java. I've searched the community to see if there is something similar, but I am at a loss. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!Scot Motzny

I need to create a javascript in form fields so that my page numbers will change automatically depending on number of pages i.e. Page 1 of 3

We use javascript on our PDF documents that print today's date. Last week the javascript stopped working and prints the date the PDF was created instead.Here is the javascript we use:var f = this.getField("DatePrinted");        f.hidden = false;        f.value = "Printed on: " + util.printd("mmm dd, yyyy", new Date());These are our company's legal documents and the printed date is very important, as the documents are uncontrolled 24 hours after printing.Could anyone provide assistance to this?Thank you.

Hello, I am using Acrobat X and am noticing an issue when using Internet Explorer to view a PDF with a bookmark panel. This issue is new to me.The PDF document in question resides on an in-house server. The bookmarks panel in this PDF looks fine if I navigate directly to the server where the PDF resides and open the PDF. All of the bookmarks are properly displayed in the pane.However, we have an in-house web-based application that opens this PDF when you click the application's Help button. When I open this application (using IE as my browser) and click Help, the PDF opens, but all I see in the bookmarks panel is the first bookmark. The rest of the bookmarks after that are not displayed. I've never seen this happen before.Now, if I right-click the PDF while I am viewing it in IE, and I save it to my desktop and open it, all of the bookmarks appear in the bookmark panel as expected. So it's only the IE browser view that is missing all but one of the bookmarks in the panel.Any ideas what

I'm having trouble with my code (I think). I have a dynamic stamp created and have added 2 text fields. One to enter the document # and one to prompt the user to enter the Revision. The code for the document # was easy thanks to this board.event.value = event.source.source.documentFileName.split(".").shift();However, I cannot figure our the code to promt the user to enter the revision. The code i have is:if ((event.source.forReal)&&(event.source.stampname == "#GHhz9-BkcmvhZfa7GtQxrA")){event.value("Revision").value = app.response(cAsk, cRevision);}But it does nothing. Any help for a novice would be awesome.

I have found many posts abouting autopopulating dates/times into fields.... but what I am looking for is the following... I have a field titled "incident_date",  I want the users to be able to click a button, or a link that says "Today" and it will input the current date.I have a field titled "incident_time",  I want the users to be able to click a button, or  alink that says "Now" and it will input the current time.If they don't click one of the links/buttons, I want the users to be able to input a different date (in case they are doing their reports on a a differnt day)Having it autofill with todays date/time all the time does not work for my situation, as it can be different, and the pdf gets opened often by different users, and I need the date/time to stay the same.  For extra credit, I have check boxes that are titled "am" & "pm" and would like them to be automatically checked in the appropriate check box based off of the current time when the abo

I'm building a user-editable form and I've noticed that when values are added, some fields don't update until another field is altered. It doesn't matter what filed. It's as if they're calculating one step behind.  For instance, if I have a field 'output', which displays the sum of input1 and input2. With nothing filled out, output displays '0'.I enter 3 to input1, but output still displays '0'.I enter 5 to input2, and output displays '3'.I delete the value in input2, and output displays '8'. It just keeps going round and round, one calculation behind. This is just a simplified example to illustrate the behavior. My actual form is using javascript to handle the calculations. I can't seem to figure out why it's doing this. Is there some limit on the number of fields on a form, before it starts to act funny? Anyway, much appreciation for any direction.

I am hoping for a solution using the Action wizard only for the following problem. I am pretty new to Acrobat so I am sure there are many options I have not yet considered for my task. I am working with a large series of typewritten forms that were scanned. These forms contain information that should be read semi-automatically. The same information is in the same area on every page and every page has 6 "areas of interest" that contain said information. The rest of the page is different from page to page so OCRing entire pages would create different levels of noise depending on the page. That is why I want to OCR only those areas of interest and get the output as plaintext. (The goal of the data is in Excel so I will try to get the output in there as directly as possible by VBA, although reading from exported files in VBA is possible, too.)I was able to create an action that lets the user crop every page down to one of the aforementioned areas and then run OCR and output the text a

Hello - thanks for hopefully attempting to answer my question.  I'm trying to set up formatting/auto functions in fields in forms using Adobe Acrobat calculations. What I am wanting to do is have around 4 - 5 fields in a form which all add up. Pretty simple so far (ie go to properties in the form and add etc). However I'm wanting the fields that I enter a number into and then the final "calculator field" in the form to be formatted with an automatic "+" or "-" depending on what is entered.  Two examples both using 4 fields that I enter data into in the form and one "calculator field: EXAMPLE 1: What I enter: Field 1; "4",  Field 2; "10",  Field 3; "-5",  Field 4; "25", Final "Calculator field"; "34"What I would like to see in Example 1:  Field 1; "+4",  Field 2; "+10",  Field 3; "-5",  Field 4; "+25", Final "Calculator field"; "+34" EXAMPLE 2What I enter: Field 1; "10",  Field
