The answer I found here: https://answers.acrobatusers.com/Help-adding-number-increment-instance-reset-button-q96703.aspx was beyond my technical knowledge. I'd like to know first how to create a form reset button and then have it increment the previous number on save and close.Where/how do I add the Javascript code?

I am creating an Adobe Form for the managers to use to create contracts. Basically, on one of the pages, there is an equipment list that they have to select from dropdown lists. At the end of the document, there are pages based on the selection on this list that outline more details on the equipment. What I would like to happen is: They select the equipment from the list, and it auto- adds the page at the end. 

Hello,  So in my form, I have a checkbox that toggles show/hide of an input text field. If the box is checked the input field gets hidden and when its not checked user can input text. But when I check the box and click the reset form button i have added on my form, the input field stays hidden and does not reset to be visible again. How to I set it back to be visible once I hit the reset button? I have created the reset button by creating a button and adding an action to it to reset the form. Can anyone please help me with this Thank you!

Hi - I have a button on a form which will change color based on a selection from a pop up menu activated by clicking the button.  So, click the button, select one of the 5 options and depending on the option selected the entire button will fill with a set color. I have been able to create the pop up menu as I need it, but I cannot get the resulting action (color change) to work.  New to this so would appreciate your help getting the final piece to work.  Thanks. var c = {'Home':['1,0,0'],'Motor':['0,176/255,80/255'],'Marine':['84/255,141/255,212/255'],'Commercial':['246/255,132/255,38/255'],'Home Essentials':['1,128/255,1'],}var n = new Array('Type of loss:');for (var i in c) n.push(i);var result = app.popUpMenu(n);if (result) {this.fillColor = ["RGB",c[result]];}

Hello, I am working on an Adobe PDF Form and believe I need a custom script for a calculation table. I have no JavaScript experience at the moment and am hoping someone can help me with a formula so I can complete a project. We have a table in a form that is supposed to calculate a discount. The field for the formula in question is a rebate field with a maximum value of $4,000. The field calculates the # of blocks multiplied by $1,000 with a maximum rebate of $4,000. How do I write a formula that returns the rebate amount if it is less than $4,000 (e.g. $1,000, $2,000 or $3,000) and only displays $4,000 if the rebate amount is equal to or greater than $4,000? I hope this is understandable and please forgive my ignorance. Thanks!

I have already created a Form, but the issue here is that the form has to be sent to many people for Approval. Each Approver has a specific clearance Section of the Form. the Query here is that they need to fill their sections with the required comments and email the form back to the sender. the sender has to then send the form to the next Approver. is there a way that if the approver fills certain fields they get Auto readonly while the other fields that are not filled remain fillable. Note All the Approvers have only Adobe reader so cannot use Create and Distribute. Whats the best way in acrbat because if I use buttons any one can click the button and it get readonly is there a better way

I have a page with a grid of checkboxes -- columns and rows.  I'd like a field to the right of the row that gives me just a total of the number of checkboxes checked across the row (checkbox1, checkbox2, checkbox3, checkbox4, checkbox5).  I realize if I want to total up the row's checked boxes the calculation would be the same as if I checked a column's checkboxes, the only difference being how I indicate which fields are being counted conditionally.  Anyone that can help me with this? Thanks in advance! 

I am writing a plugin that makes uses of the redaction capability in Acrobat.I am able to create the redaction, and apply the redaction.Currently, I can change the overlay text, and the color shown once the redaction is applied. Is there a way to change the color of the overlay text in the C++ SDK? Notes:- I am using the PDRedactParams struct to specify the annotation properties (Acrobat _t_PDRedactParams struct documentation )

Acrobat Pro DC on a MAC running OS X 10.11.6I have a form that is mainly set up in Indesign (it works for us - I know others prefer to set forms up purely in Acrobat).I have a script I can run via Action Wizard (execute a javascript) to change the font in all the text form fields. But being a script-novice I can't figure out how to create a similar script which will change the font used by Combo Boxes (created in Indesign). Can this be done by a script?I know I can do it manually via Properties but if anyone can give me a pointer to figure out how to do it with a script that would be amazing!Thank you

Is there a way to get the name of the own field itself where the code is written, in the code that writes in the field? For example, if I have a field named "ABC".    var x = this.getField ("ABC");    event.value = x.name;It will be "ABC", Is there a way to avoid to writing own field name ?    var x = this.getField ("ABC") ;

It's actually a little more complicated than the subject line implies.Making an interactive PDF form.Can get a short text string to appear or a short text field, using mouse enter action to display a text field.However, it only dispalys a part of the text in the field and there is no formating.I would like/need to include in my pdf intructions that will pop up when mouse enter (hover) over a hidden button.   The instructions are usually 6-12 lines long and being able to format them, even just to bold the step numbers in the list, would be good, as well as control the font type and size. I can't think of how to do this except with a mouse enter action that runs a Javascript.   I'm willing to do that, but have no idea the script commands to use (and not finding them on-line).   Can someone provide an example script or point me to a free informational resource?   

I am a complete newbie to JavaScript and this is my first post. With the help of various snippets of script I have found on the web and Thom Parker's book "all about pdf stamps" I have created a custom dialogue to populate several text fields and tick boxes of a dynamic stamp. The stamp works well but it could be better. I would like the input fields on the custom dialogue to display default values rather than blank white space. I can get one field to display as I would like, but only the last of 7 fields does this. If I copy what I did in field 7 to the others it doesn't work for the others but field 7 does work. Can you help? I have 7 lines like this:strField1: "", initialize: function(dialog) {dialog.load({"fld1":this.strField1});},These lines are repeated with strField1 and fld1 replaced by  strField2 to strField7 and fld2 to fld7 followed by the following script:commit:function(dialog) {var data=dialog.store();this.strField1=data["fld1"];Again this is repeated for the ot

Hi there!I'm looking into removing specific bookmarks (repeated) from a bulk invoice PDF which is generated by our e-commerce platform automatically (300 invoices in one PDF file).    As you see there are two top level bookmarks in each invoice, I'm trying to figure how to remove all the "Ordered products" bookmarks with a script, so that I could use the Split function to split all 300 invoices by Top Level of Bookmarks. I know: this.bookmarkRoot.remove(); would remove everythingand I have tried:this.bookmarkRoot.remove("Ordered products"); which did not work Anyone could please help me the novice here ? 🙂 Thank you so much in advance!
