Is it possible to have more than one export value populate to the same text field depending on what the user chooses?  I have 2 dropdown fields 1)Employee 2)Absence that I've put export values on to populate to a text field named Pay Type.I added the the JavaScript below to the custom calculation script in PayType which works for one dropdown field, but I'm not sure if you can make it work for both Employee and Absence dropdownsevent.value = this.getField("Employee").value;Eg. if the user chooses from the Employee dropdown the export value populates to PayType but if they choose from the Absence dropdown I'll need that export value to populate in PayType, but if the user removes the selection from the Absence dropdown I'm hoping it will populate the export value again from the Employee selection?I'm hoping if it can be done and/or I can figure out how to do the JavaScript it just might help resolve an issue I'm having with my form.  

Following problem:I have a PDF with a table of contents on page 1.Can I link every point in the table of contents to the corresponding page?If yes, how do I do that?

I don't know if this is even possible, but I'm hoping someone out there can help me figure out a solution. I have 2 dropdowns 1) Employee Name 2) Absence.  Both populate data to the same text fields, PayType and PayTypeDesc.  The user enters their name first and the data populates, and when they choose from the Absence list the data changes.  That's fine, but if the user removes the absence pay type the data clears.  I would like the data to populate back from Employee Name again if a selection is removed from Absence.  Thank you!!The following is the script I'm using: //EMPLOYEE DROPDOWN LISTif( event.willCommit ){if(event.value == " ")this.resetForm(["ID","PayType","PayTypeDesc"]);elseSetFieldValuesEmployeeName(event.value);}var EmployeeData = { "Case, Justin 3871 (Lieu)":{Status: "1",PayTypeDesc: "Regular",ID: "3871" },"Smith, Jane 3059":{ Status: "1",PayTypeDesc: "Regular",ID: "3059" }};function SetFieldValuesEmployeeName(cEmployeeName){this.getFi

I want to remove all the text boxes in my PDF but after searching a while, I didn't find any solution. I assume a script is necessary here. I know Python programming, so I assume javascript is just a syntax issue. Could someone provide some ideas about how the script should look like? Thanks! In the document it looks like this on the bottom of every page 

I have recently added the following format script to automatically populate the dropdown fields when text is entered in certain fields:  var emailList = [" "]; if(event.value){emailList.push(event.value)}; if(this.getField("EmailAddress2").value) {emailList.push([this.getField("EmailAddress2").value]);} if(this.getField("EmailAddress3").value) {emailList.push([this.getField("EmailAddress3").value]);} this.getField("PortfolioCorrespondenceEmail1").setItems(emailList); However, I believe that this code is executing upon opening the form, meaning that any values in the dropdown list that were previously saved are removed due to this code running again and resetting the dropdown list to the initial value which is " ". I am wondering how I can prevent this happening so the format script doesn't run upon the form opening and only runs when there is a change in that event field? As at the moment it is giving the impression that there was no data entered in the dropdow

I am attempting to compare two versions of a document using the Compare option in Acrobat Pro DC, V2015.006.30174.I get the message "Acrobat could not compare the documents completely.

However, the report claims "no differences":No differences were found between documents.New Document:8CD1E-15-MDA-2016-06147 pages (803 KB)6/6/2016 4:10:47 PMUsed to display results.Old Document:1CD1SP1-15-MDA-2016-01142 pages (764 KB)6/6/2016 4:10:46 PMWhat is breaking the compare?Keith

Hi,I have win 7 installed and after the installation of acrobat 11 pro and registration the application starts and then within a few seconds just shuts down. It does not appear to crash, it just closes.  This has been patched to the latest update and behaves the same way, additionally I installed reader and it behaves normally.

Hi there,I've successfully set up a dynamic stamp that automatically inserts the current date into the field, but I also need one that allows the date to be input manually, but I can't figure out how to get it to carry over to the finalized stamp.Stamp 1 is the successful dynamic stamp.Stamp 2 is the stamp I am trying to create.I've editeded stamp 2 to include a text field and date format and saved it, but when I go to use it, there is no field to type in the date.Is there some kind of script I need to enter for the date form field to carry over to the final stamp? If so, what would it be?Thanks! 

On my PDF I have three Email Address text fields - when a value is entered into one of these fields I would like the entered value to automatically be added to a combo box to allow the user to select which email address they would like to use to receive correspondence.  So far I have the following code added to the combo box:   var emailList = [" "]; if(this.getField("EmailAddress1").value) { emailList.push([this.getField("EmailAddress1").value]); } if(this.getField("EmailAddress2").value) { emailList.push([this.getField("EmailAddress2").value]); } if(this.getField("EmailAddress3").value) { emailList.push([this.getField("EmailAddress3").value]); } this.getField("PortfolioCorrespondenceEmail1").clearItems(); this.getField("PortfolioCorrespondenceEmail1").setItems(emailList);    This code does return the values as hoped, however, I am required to click in the dropdown to refresh the values in the list, this may give the impression to users

Hello, I have fields on a form where I only want numbers entered into the Clock Hours or CEUs field but not both.  How do I make this happen in pdf forms? 

Hi, New here and to Javascript too. I'm looking to create a 'submit' button on a form which interrogates the form for the email addresses and populates the To address with 1 email and the Cc address with 2 emails from the form. I've managed to get it working partly but am struggling to get the second cc email address to be included. Code so far below (without the third email field name which is "Line Manager's email address"). var cToAddr = this.getField("Staff Email 2").value;var cCcAddr = this.getField("Area Admin email").value;this.mailDoc({bUI: false,cTo: cToAddr,cCc: cCcAddr,cSubject: this.getField("First Name 2").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("Last Name 2").valueAsString + " " + "LDR Report" + " " + this.getField("DateField_af_date").valueAsString,cMsg: "Please find attached your LDR Report.\n" + "Save the form for your own CPD records."});

Hi all. Is there a way to automate (e.g. JS button) the process of extraction from table in pdf (entire pdf layout is created in Word, than saved as pdf and made fillable with Acrobat) to designated cells in Excel, where the table layout is different from the one in pdf?Something like; first table field (top left) in pdf is text field named "Text1" and its' value has to go in C5 cell in Excel spreadsheet and so on. Any help and guidance is much appreciated.Thanks

What does the blue shield icon mean? (It seems to be disabling my 'organize pages' tool.)   - I saved the pdf to my desktop.  -Version that I am currently running.  - tool that is being disabled/ missing.  -Other pdfs. on my desktop that don't have that blue icon seem to have the organize pages tool.  

I'm paying a montly fee to use a tool that consists of slapped together framework tools and helpers (NodeJS.exe and tons of other nonsense) constantly running in the background of my VPS desktop environment, eating up valuable resources, instead of a single application that does the task it's supposed to do whenever I start it up. All this nonsense just to be able to stamp a "signature.png" onto a PDF to prevent printing, signing, scanning and shredding. It's just horrible. I'm switching to something else as soon as I find a viable replacement.

I have a numeric field in a pdf file that needs an If Statement which will do the following:    IF Field A is greater than Field B then display the number from Field B in this Field C. Can someone help me to do this in javascript or is there an even easier way?? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Background:We are an agricultural company that is finally going paperless.  We have a requirement from HR, to get all of our I-9s, W-4s, employment applications, health insurance forms and banking forms digitized.I have created all the digitize forms in Adobe Acrobat DC (version 12), with all the check boxes, radio buttons and signature/date blocks required.HR will be using a Microsoft Surface Pro 3, with a connected Wacom Intuos Pen & Touch, small (CTH-480) to sign documents. Problem:Currently, when I click in the signature block, Adobe brings up the Sign Document dialogue box and in the Sign As: dropdown box, allows me to select New ID...If I select the option for A new digital ID I want to create now, I can go through the whole setup and create a new "digital signature."This isn't what we want.I want to be able to click the option for a new digital ID and be able to actually sign the document electronically, from the Wacom signature pad. Question:What do I need (Software- o

Using acrobat x proI'm using a bubble like sheet where on top is a box to enter 0-9 then underneath are bubbles(text fields. I am try to say if enter 1 in the box then bubble field 1 is black filled.  If 2 then bubble field 2 is black filled.... so on and on...  can anyone help?

I have a need for the following.A date field (FieldA) needs to be auto populated on the current date when the signature field (SignA) is populated.  I wrote this code to accomplish this, and its placed in the Custom Calculation Script in the date field (FieldA).  It works.event.value=(this.getField("SignA").valueAsString=="")?"":util.printd("m/d/yyyy",new Date()); There are 4 different signatures requried on this field, hence all 4 will have the same requirement.However, I did not take into account that the form will be signed on different days.  Once the first date is populated after the first signature, and a day(s) passes, when the form is modified, it recalcuates and updates the already populated dates to most current.  I want to lock the date once SignA is signed and FieldA is calculated for the first time, with no further updates to that date.  I hope this makes sense. Thanks,

If I enter a number in the drop-down list, it will be displayed as text in the field. Is there no choice but to create another field and use it to convert it to a number ? Is there any way to solve it by entering the formula in the dialog of the dropdown list ? When migrating data with FDF, I am having a problem that the destination field that is set as a numerical value is not read. And are the available methods Number(), parseInt(), parseFloat()?↑↑↑I'm sorry. Above is insufficient information. I can format the dropdown list with numbers by my Acrobat pro DC. However, it seems that the Chinese person who uses this file is the Chinese version, and he says that Chinese version does not have an official setting in the drop-down list....

I have a form with two date fields, "certDate" and "expireDate" (both set to mm/dd/yyyy format). Once a date is entered into the first field, "certDate", the date entered into the second field, "expireDate", can't be more than two years later than the first date. It can be less than two years later than the first date, but can't be earlier than the first date. How should "expireDate" be scripted?
