I'm running into a problem where I have 4 sets of check boxes. set 1 is called Severity and there's options 1-4set 2 is called Probability and there's options 1-4set 3 is called Criticality and there's 16 options and is automatically checked based on selections from set 1 and set 2. (i.e. if you select 4 from Severity and 3 from Probability then it automatically checks 12 in Criticality)set 4 is called AEM and has 3 options.option 1 is automatically checked if 16, 12, or 9 is checked in set 3option 2 is automatically checked if 8 or 6 is checked in set 3option 3 is automatically checked if 4 or below is checked in set 3 The problem I'm running into is that if I manually check the boxes in set 3 then set 4's auto checking works. However if I make selection from sets 1 and 2 and it autochecks a box in set 3, then set 4 doesn't auto check. Here's an example of what I have for the autocheck for set 3:console.println(this.getField("Severity4").value);console.println(this.getF

I used to know how to do this, but I cannot find the feature anymore. I want to: Click somewhere on the PDFand type some words.For example, I printed a form to PDF and forgot to check a box.  Rather than re-print the form, I would like to type "X" in adobe pro, where the box is.  The form is non-responsive; there are no fields.Where is the typewriter tool?  I am on Mac.

I'm working on a new feature in an Acrobat Plugin to help with Accessibility programming.I need a way to access a tag's "Tag Elements" – this is the encoded data pairs that can be seen by right-selecting a tag, selecting "Properties...", and then clicking on the "Edit tag" button. See the attached screenshot for reference.Essentially, I need to extract the "/Headers" array, or any item value pair (i.e. <"/S", "/TD">).  I've tried PDSElementGetAttrObj, and a few similar methods, but they don't seem to provide the right (or any) data.I've looked through the SDK API docs and cannot find a function that provides read/write access to this level of data. Anyone have any ideas?

When trying to move a text box or form field using the arrows on my keyboard, the boxes are jumping 1-2 inches in each direction instead of tiny increments- I am also having an issue decreasing/increasing size of text/form fields as well, they either go from their standard size to vanishing or twice the size! This only started happening this week. Please help!

When highlighting the text it only outlines. I need it to fill in. Any idea how to fix?Please help.

I recently created a series of text-based custom stamps as previously discussed on this thread. I now need to find a way to make the background of the stamp transparent, since each stamp has a rectangular white background that blocks whatever document text it may be stamped onto. While Adobe offers an opacity function, I do not want to make the stamp itself opaque, which is what happens when I adjust the opacity after applying the stamp to a document.

HiWe use a VBA macro to populate and save Excel sheets into PDF files. In the last step we use Acrobat to merge all the individual PDF into one final PDF with the code below. This work very well but we would like the final PDF to be generated with password protection for editing (not for viewing). Is it possible to add this to the code? Sub MergePDFs(FilesPath As String, FileNames As String, ResultName As String) ' Reference required: "VBE - Tools - References - Acrobat" Dim a As Variant, i As Long, n As Long, ni As Long, p As String Dim AcroApp As New Acrobat.AcroApp, PartDocs() As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc If Right(FilesPath, 1) = "\" Then p = FilesPath Else p = FilesPath & "\" a = Split(FileNames, ",") ReDim PartDocs(0 To UBound(a)) On Error GoTo exit_ If Len(Dir(p & ResultName)) Then Kill p & ResultName For i = 0 To UBound(a) ' Check PDF file presence If Dir(p & Trim(a(i))) = "" Then MsgBox "File not found" & vbLf & p & a(i

Hey everyone,I'm having an issue with comparing documents. We're generating PDF output from DITA (XML) content using an XSL stylesheet and the DITA Open Toolkit 1.8. The output cannot be compared it seems, I get the following message:Acrobat could not compare the documents completely. Do you want to see the report anyway?The report finds 0 differences. The PDF's I'm compare differ 2 pages (71 to 73) and the Table of Contents on the fourth page is already different, but not found.Again, these are not scanned documents, they're created using DITA Open Toolkit. The compare is done with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. Any fixes for this?

I want to create a basic form that several different people will use. In this form, the user would enter a measurement in inches but when they tab or press enter, I would like their entry to convert automatically to feet & inches based on their input. Does that make sense? Example: The user puts in 115" and then goes to the next field. It would change the entry to 9.58' (the actual is 9.58333') Here is a screenshot of the form fields.

I have 30 layers that I created in InDesign and exported to PDF (multiple pages). I created a dropdown menu with corresponding item lists. I want to be able to show only the layer selected from the dropdown list (plus keep the main header layer active at all times). I found this post that almost worked for me, but it kept previously selected layers active once I changed the selection. I need the the other layers to hide if the selection changes. Thank you for your time, and please take it easy on me, this is my first attempt at Javascript!
