Questions

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!

Hi,I got this script of calculation of time  on this community and i modified it to suit my form everything is working fine.. but when i reset the form .. everything should be blank or 0 but  the calculated field still keeps the last calculated value; Here is the script (run through calculate tab):   var cStartDate = this.getField("Date").valueAsString; var cStartTime1 = this.getField("IN_TIME1").valueAsString; var cStartDateFormat = "dd-mmm-yyyy"; var cStartTimeFormat = "h:MM tt"; cStartTime1 = AdjustMidnight(cStartTime1); var cEndDate = this.getField("Date").valueAsString; var cEndTime1 = this.getField("OUT_TIME1").valueAsString; var cEndDateFormat = "dd-mmm-yyyy"; var cEndTimeFormat = "h:MM tt"; cEndTime1 = AdjustMidnight(cEndTime1); event.value = 0; if(cStartDate != "" && cStartTime1 != "" && cEndDate != "" && cEndTime1 != "") { var t1 = DateTime2Min(cEndDateFormat + " " + cEndTimeFormat, cEndDate + " " + cEndTime1) - DateTime

I am creating a C++ plugin where I want to secure and open a PDF file. The plugin will be creating will be a Adobe secured PDF, which only the plugin will be knowing the password to open and modify the security parameters of the PDF. This being the case, The plugin also controls the permissions of the file while opening the document using the VDocPermReqProc permReqProc, I need to modify the following things.The "security settings" displays the set of permissions based on the PDF file and not based on what permissions are allowed as part of the callback for the permReqProc. I need to modify this.Also, there is an option in the "Security settings" to change the security method, which prompts for user password. I need to either disable this button or change the behavior to say changing the security method is not allowed as the user will not be knowing the password.  The hint I got from running through the SDK APIs is that I might be able to do this using a different P

I am creating a plugin where it creates and opens a secured PDF file. As part of opening the secured PDF file I am using AVDocOpenFromPDDocWithParams and specifying callback for the permissions. The other options for disabling the print and save, seems to work fine as part of the callback. However, I am unable to disable the email button by denying "'PDPermReqOprUIemail'' as per the logs this particular permission was never requested. Is this feature broken or am I doing something wrong? On similar lines, starring this document is also uploading this document to the cloud, how can this also be disbaled? Thanks in advance.    params.usePermReqProc = true; params.permReqProc = pPermReqCallback; PermReqCallback(AVDoc doc, PDPermReqObj obj, PDPermReqOpr opr) { // Deny permission to enable the email button if (PDPermReqOprUIemail == opr) { return 1; } //Handle other permission request cases.... } &nbsp

I have 7 dropdown lists with custom text. I would like to some how populate the selections from these drop down lists (with the custom text) into a single text field in a list format. However would it be possible to exclude certain drop down list selections from being populated into the text field. Each drop down list has the following slections:" ", "N/A", "C1", "C2", "C3"When either "C1", "C2", "C3" are selected. I would like this to be copied into the text field along with the custom text.When either " " or "N/A" are selected. I would like these not to be populated into the text field.My Javascript knowledge is very limited so any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hi community, I am trying to redact my pdf using the following method, this.addAnnot({type: "Redact",page: myPage,quads: myQuads}); It can successfully white out the area that I want it to be redacted. But I wonder, is there any properties that can be used to color the area instead of white it out? Or can someone please share the related API document? Thanks:-) 

Hi everyone! I'm not too hopeful about this one, but is there a way to retrieve a list of installed fonts available for use in Acrobat via JavaScript? Something similar to app.fonts in Extendscript? I know this can probably be done with a Java library like PDFBox, but I wanted to make sure there's no way to achieve this with JavaScript before I go down that wormhole. I realize this might not be possible though. Any push in the right direction is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

I am currently building a scoring chart that can hold a max of 100 people. Each person is then graded on up to 8 criteria fields for a total score. However, when I used the built-in sum formula, it made my form lag and take around 10 seconds to click between boxes. So now I am looking into creating a button that once the form is filled out, the user can click the button to then calculate the sums of the 100 candidates' scores. So first of all, is this possible to create and will it help remove the lag? The list of boxes that need to be added for the first candidate are 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, and 81. Then the second candidate has 12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72, and 82. This goes on until the 100th candidate who has the boxes 1100, 2100, 3100, 4100, 5100, 6100, 7100, and 8100. Then the boxes for the sums are titled TotalScore1, TotalScore2, up to TotalScore100 respectively. I was able to figure out how to adjust a script to my needs in a previous form, but I don't know how to

Hi,i use Acrobat XI/Windows.- the methods used are app.trustedFunction. The script generates a pdf doc through the Adobe PDF printer to be used subsequently in the same script, however, despite seeing how it has been stored in the local folder, at runtime app.openDoc () does not recognize it as [doc object]: JavaScript Debugger console returns "Invalid location. The file or folder does not exist". The Adobe PDF printer settings allow you to display or not the printed pdf document. I have tried both ways. When it shows it, I try to select it with app.activeDocs, but it doesn't detect it either. I am being forced to break into two action button scripts with user intervention (so the script works correctly), when I want the process to be completely silent and unattended. I hope my question catches your attention.Thank you.

When using this script I get the error message when I enter in like 3 of the nine numbers I need,But if i do put in the afterward the 9 numbers the error message does not go away it stays.
