Questions

Here's a stumper for you. I have been trying to create a form which can have certain fields resize to handle additional input. There are 3 different fields that can be resized by the user and then the form spawns or deletes pages to show the fields at the sizes the people have chosen. In all, there are 27 different field combinations. In order to accomodate this, I have been trying to use nested if statements. The options are simply "Small Size", "Medium Size", and "Large Size" for each field. The problem I'm running into is that the beginning option when the form loads is "Small Size" and the page shows the appropriate size field. When I choose "Medium" though, "Small" stays. Then when I choose "Large",  "Medium" shows up. Then when I choose "Small" or "Medium", "Large" will show all with the proper accompanying pages. The form is showing the fields and pages of the last option that was chosen when you click the next option. Gosh this sounds insane and I hope it's not too co

The below statment will not check my checkbox3 once checkbox1 && checkbox2 are checked it will only work with the || (or) statement, what am I doing wroung?  Document Level Control function cbControl() {// Get a reference to each check boxvar f1 = getField("checkbox1");var f2 = getField("checkbox2");var f3 = getField("checkbox3"); // Check cb3 if cb1 and cb2 was selectedif (event.target === f1 && event.target === f2){ f3.value = "Yes"; return; }} Mouse Up Event on each checkboxcbControl();

Sorry, I know this may be a weird question: I know how to loop through sequentially to hide all buttons. This is what I've used:for (var i = 1; i < 54; i++) { getField("Button" + i).display = display.hidden; } and that works fine for me. Where I'm stuck is I'd like to use an if statement to cycle through a random list of the buttons to check if they are visible or not visible. I know you can declare array variables, but I have no idea how to implement all of this. I know I could type it all in, but I'd like to reuse this with maybe different button numbers at some point, so i'd just like to change the array. Say for sake of argument I'd like the if statement to check if Button2, Button3, Button5,Button9, Button18 and Button 46 are visible and that all the other buttons up to 53 are hidden. Is this possible without doing the following and having to type it for every button:if(this.getField("Button1").display=display.hidden && this.getField("Butto

Hi all, I would like to have a check on the script for my checklist. It has 16 categories and for each category there are 4 options: 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 (for all the options the value is alike, so 0 =value 0, 1 =value 1, etc.) at the bottom of each option there's a field: subtotal now I've added the following code to those fields:  event.value=(this.getField("Top_0").value+this.getField("Vest_0").value +this.getField("Broek_0").value +this.getField("Panty_0").value +this.getField("Schoenen_0").value +this.getField("Haar_0").value +this.getField("Makeup_0").value +this.getField("Bril_0").value +this.getField("Oorbellen_0").value +this.getField("Ketting_0").value +this.getField("Sjaal_0").value +this.getField("Armbanden_0").value +this.getField("Ringen_0").value +this.getField("Nagellak_0").value +this.getField("Riem_0").value +this.getField("Tas_0").value) event.value=(this.getField("Top_1").value+this.getField("Vest_1").value +this.getField("Broek_1").value +thi

Hello, all you wonderful people who know far more than I do about scripting and everything else. Completely upront, I know nothing about computer language or Javascript, but I can follow directions and figure some things out. At work, I get a single pdf with about 500 pages of information. Each page needs to be extracted and then renamed based on the content of the file in two locations on the page, which I am currently doing manually. These two locations, the position number field and the employee name field are in a consistent location across all the pages. I was hoping that someone might have a script that I could use to automate this process, being it's so time consuming and tediuous. I tried to get the Evermap Auto-Split plug-in approved for use, but requisitions for new software won't be open until June of next year. If anyone can help me, I'd be eternally grateful. I'm sure it's not a difficult script, I just do not speak the language, and after trying a few times to f

Hello All, I have created a Wholesale Pricelist that has all of my SKUs listed, dealer cost, MSRP, QTY that you want to buy, then I have a column for the total per item, that will later add up to an expected grand total.

I'm running the following code and my for loop is aborting at  *  n=42  *Can anyone see why? var f = this.getField("cbEdit");var n = 0for (var n=16;i<=112;n++){app.alert(n);if(n<70 || n>71){{s=n+"";if(f.isBoxChecked(0)){this.getField("CBR"+s).display = display.visible;this.getField("CBV"+s).display = display.visible;this.getField("CBM"+s).display = display.visible;this.getField("Post"+s).display = display.visible;}else {this.getField("CBR"+s).display = display.hidden;this.getField("CBV"+s).display = display.hidden;this.getField("CBM"+s).display = display.hidden;this.getField("Post"+s).display = display.hidden;}}}}

I have a PDF form that has 5 lines. 4 of those 5 lines are hidden. If the user wants to add a line, I would like them to click on the button that says "add line". When the user clicks on the button, a new form controls is visable. Right now I have the 5 form controls in the form and 4 of them are hidden. I'm just not sure what the javascript is to allow 1 button to be clicked multiple times to do the same action. Can someone help me with this please?

Is there no option to create action to split PDF by top level bookmark and use bookmark names for file names? It's just button clicks on a built in feature in acrobat. nothing fancy. 

Have a form that I use for signing up contractors for a yearly program. While the yearly signup begins 3/31/xxxx, I may sign them up during the year and it is a prorated fee based off the difference of what date they signup before that 3/31/xxxx date. Also we deduct one extra month from the time period and that is their fee. Example:3/31/2021 - 9/10/2020 = 6 months - 1 month = 5 monthsBoth dates have a place on the form along with the final 5 months which shows as a number. Looking for the code to do the math on my form. Tried some Java Code i know and it isn't working out.Thank you for looking at this and any help you can contribute.

Hi all and thank you for looking.  I'm experiencing a peculiar issue with a custom validation script where anytime event.rc is set to false upon validation failure, the page switches to the first page in the document.  Background:5 page document, relatively field heavy on all pages except the first one (intro, instructions, etc).There are a series of date fields each of the subsequest pages.  Each one has the exact same generic validation function (event is passed into it).  Upon failure of date validation and when the function sets event.rc to false, the document returns to the first page (always).  Oddly enough, this only happens from the second page in the document.  When the same validation script sets rc to false on pages 3, 4, and 5, the document stays put on that page. I've removed any calls to functions from custom validation and simply set "event.rc = false".   Sure enough, when this is done on page 2, the document scrolls up t

Hi! I am looking for code that I can put in the "Custom Calculation Script" section of the Text Field Properties in Acrobat Pro DC. Part of the form I am creating has six fields:String 1 - No.String 2 - No.String 3 - No.Total StringsString 4 - No.String 5 - No.String 6 - No.Total Strings I need to know how many fields get used, not the sum total of what's in the fields. For instance, if the user types:String 1 - No. = 8String 2 - No. = 10String 3 - No.String 4 - No. = 12String 5 - No.String 6 - No.I need to know how many the first three strings are used (2) and how many from the second three strings are used (1).String 1 - No. = 8String 2 - No. = 10String 3 - No.Total Strings = 2String 4 - No. = 12String 5 - No.String 6 - No.Total Strings = 1

Hi all dear accessibility experts,I have footnotes on master page which contains cross reference links, I want it to be clickable, but not showing in tagged annotations-failed error, is it possible?(I have made the footnotes artifacts, but I want the link stays in the footnotes)I'm thinking maybe I can process PDF in acrobat preflight, but if I remove all links annotations it will also affect the index and TOC I created, so I can't...I have been doing research but can't find anything related to my question.Any help would be appreciated!!Thanks in advance!

I have sifted thru posts, but can't find a solution ...I want to execute a script from a button that will evaluate many image fields to determine if an image is assigned to the field.  The purpose is to clear a hidden text field of the original path of the imported icon in each. I have tried:var isIcon = this.getField("Image17_af_image").value;which returns "null"var isIcon = this.getField("Image17_af_image").buttonGetIcon();which returns [object Icon]var isIcon = util.iconStreamFromIcon(this.getField("Image17_af_image").buttonGetIcon());which returns [object Stream]Is it possible to get a "Yes"/"No" response? 

I'm using Java Script to convert Image to string and store in the field value. As we can see the below Javascript:// Getting the Object var oFile = this.getDataObjectContents("Test1"); //object into the string var cFile = util.stringFromStream(oFile, "utf-8"); // storing in the field this.getField("Text2").value = cFile;I'm reading all the field On the pdf and I'm able to get the field Value, but when I'm trying to write it, in the Server/Local machine I'm not able to write the image. I'm using the below code.byte[] br; // (cc.Value)// value of the fieldbr = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(cc.Value); //br= imgToByteArray byte[] pdfdata = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(cc.Value); Stream streamed = new MemoryStream(pdfdata); Stream InputStream = streamed; byte[] result; using (var streamReaderWE = new MemoryStream()) { InputStream.CopyTo(streamReaderWE); result = streamReaderWE.ToArray(); File.WriteAllBytes(fileNameEEEE, result); } Thanks

I have multiple text fields on each page of a document.  The text fields can be populated through a generic script, from a list of predefined narratives (unique for each group of "x" fields >> i.e. the fields are in groups of three that share narratives) or can be edited in place.  The document highlights the "active edit" text field by changing the background color for the user.Problem:When user leaves the page, the highlighted field is not visible.  If the user selects from one of the narratives in the list for the (now) visible group, the event will overwrite the text in the last field selected.I want to "de-select" the field if the user scrolls away from it being visible.I understand that there are no page change events.  Can a scroll event be used, and where?  Looking for suggestions.THX!

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2015.010.20059 on a PC running Windows 7 Professional. I have scanned documents on our work Xerox machine. I use the Enchance PDF tool to run OCR. This works perfectly fine. Afterward, I can search and find text in the document, so it is clear that the OCR process worked. Additionally, if I run Edit PDF, it will recognize text and allow me to type/edit text in the document. Again, clearly demonstrating that the program has recognized the scanned text. However, in about 70% of all cases, when I try to ensure the OCR has recognized text properly by using the "Correct Recognized Text" tool, I get the message "The document does not contain any suspects." I have files that have the exact same format and were produced the exact same way (paper documents scanned on a Xerox machine), but )one file will allow me to correct recognized text and the other won't. I've spent far too long with Adobe's less than robust support (Case 0187502999 and 0187491863). The answe

Hi, I looked through Acrobat JavaScript reference but couldn't find a way to set this option: Document Properties > Initial View > Show > Document Title So I'm asking just in case I missed it... Is anyone aware of a way to set it with JS?  Thanks,Leo

We purchased Adobe acrobat for reporting purposes we used the month free trial and all went well. Since purchased this has not worked we had to produce our last monthly report using another system. I have since been in contact several times, shared my screen twice and have asked for a complaint to be raised. During sharing of screens there were loads of changes made to my PC. Now when I use Adobe the tab VIEW - TOOLS now has nothing in it I have to type in search to organise pages. I can no longer drag a page into my report I get a circle with a line through it, I now have to click insert from file which takes a little more time. Every time I open Adobe or go to insert the page I get a pop up asking for permission to allow Adobe to make changes. Part of my initial complaint was every time I went to do something I would get a not responding message and the screen would then freeze, Now it just freezes and does not move I have to check task manager to confirm what I already now that it i

Dear all:-) I never thought it could be so complicated to put an simple If/else statement in a pdf form 😉 Initial situation: - There are 3 columns in a table: target, actual and delta.- All associated fields are formatted as "numbers".- The user enters amounts in the target and actual fields, the delta is calculated automatically. Task: - Adding a column 4 called "Delta> 3%"- Whenever the (calculated) delta is> 3% of the target value, a "x" should be written in the column, otherwise do nothing (or rather overwrite an existing "x"). My considerations:Var A = this.getField("delta1").value;Var B = this.getField("Target1").value;Var C = this.getField("delta1").value / this.getField("Target1").value;If (C > 0.05) { this.getField("deltabigger5").value = "×";}else {this.getField("deltabigger5").value = "";} Unfortunately, when I enter that, nothing happens. The field remains empty, regardless of which values ​​I enter in delta1 or Soll1. I also d

I have a circular PDF chart with text at many angles.  I want to edit the text and need to know if Acrobat can do this.  Or is there something else I could use?  Here is a sample pic of what I'm talking about:

Hello Adobe Community. Long time reader, first time posting here. I have a List Box that I am using to change information in a large number of text fields via a function containing an array in a Document Script. These fields pertain to the spec values for different products (voltage, amperage, weight, etc), so whenever we stock a new product to the list, this has been extremely easy to add the info to the array and as an option in the List Box.  Here's an abbreviated version of the script as an example:var modList = { LG420: { module: "LG LG420N2W-V5", wattage: "420", voc: "49.7", vmp: "42.1", isc: "10.63", imp: "9.98", ptc: "386.9", length: "79.7", width: "40.3", weight: "47.81", POmod: "505", MaxinDC: "17.5", MaxinV: "83", MaxoutA: "15", Maxoutv: "85" }, LG400: { module: "LG LG400N2T-J5", wattage: "400", voc: "49.7", vmp: "41.5", isc: "10.22", imp: "9.65", ptc: "366", length: "79.7", width: "40.3", weight: "47.81", POmod: "505", MaxinDC: "17.5", MaxinV: "83", MaxoutA:
