Questions

Hallo liebe Community! Ich brauche eure Hilfe für ein PDF-Formular! Und zwar geht es dabei um zwei Formularfelder, bei denen die Eingabe einer Mengenanzahl in das linke Feld (s. Beispiel im Anschluss) die Menge des rechten Feldes in Dreier-Schritten erhöht. Also ab einem Wert von 10 im linken Feld steht rechts eine 3. Ab 20 eine 6 usw. Der Zähler rechts daraf sich aber nur um 3 erhöhen, sobald der nächste Zehner voll ist. Bei allen Zahlen dazwischen (also alles von 11-19, 21-29, 31-39 usw.) bleibt rechts gleich. Ist das ein Fall für Javascript? Hatte vielleicht jemand so etwas schonmal als Aufgabe und vielleicht die Lösung parat, wie man das im PDF-Formular umsetzen kann? Jedenfalls jetzt schonmal dicken Dank für den Fall dass…;) VG – Alex

Had to move a virtual machine that we use to create PDF files to new hardware.    Cannot activate because the activation servers have been shutdown.   Has anyone found a work around from Adobe [abuse removed] trying to force us into a subscription model?

Hi, I've got a complex user guide that has multiple sections that repeat a lot of text and images. I'd like to reduce the repetition by using cross reference links (I'm using Madcap Flare which is similar to Framemaker) to jump to a location in the book. That works for jumping to a figure or table and then returning to the original page, but if I want the user to read multiple pages in a section elsewhere in the document and then easily return to the original page that I jumped from, I can't figure out how to make Acrobat do that without a lot of "previous view" button clicks, which would be impractical. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Is anyone else finding that Acrobat Pro breaks MacOS drag-and-drop functionality for the Desktop and Finder, under certain circumstances? When I drag an Acrobat Pro tab out of a multi-tab instance to create a second Acrobat Pro window (with its associated document), whatever Acrobat Pro does under the covers causes drag-and-drop elsewhere in MacOS (on the Desktop and in Finder for sure) to stop working entirely. The fix is (as with so many of Acrobat Pro's quirks) shutting down and restarting Acrobat Pro. Something more than an annoyance given what we pay for Acrobat Pro.

I'm trying to control the visibility of certain checkboxes and layers on my PDF form according to what is selected in a drop down menu. I've found 2 scripts; one to show/hide the layers and one to show/hide the checkboxes. I'm a novice when it comes to java scripting. How do I combine them? If "Option1" is selected from the dropdown, the layer of the same name along with Box3 and Box4 should show.If "Option2" is selected, the layer of the same name along with Box1 and Box2 should show.If "-Select-" is selected (default), none of the options above should show. Layers script:var layers = this.getOCGs();var v = event.value;for (var i = 0; i < this.layers.length; i++) {    if (layers[i].name == “Option1” && v == "Option1") {        layers[i].state = true;    }    else if (layers[i].name == “Option2” && v == "Option2") {        layers[i].state = true;    }    if (layers[i].

 We have been experiencing issues with users reporting that when attempting to open a second PDF file their app hangs for at 20-30 seconds with no response and then suddenly opens the files.  The only fix we have found to work is to use acrocleaner and then reinstall from Creative Cloud.  Not all of our users have access to creative cloud as many of them just use Acrobat Reader.  Steps we have taken include Full Removal with Acrocleaner and Revo and reinstallationRegistry edits to disabled Enhanced Security at StartupRunning program in compatibility modeSwitching to old viewAll devices experiencing issues are currently on 2024.5.20320 updateRepaired installationDisabled page cacheCleared local app data and let Adobe recreate folder We believe this is related to the current update as this was reported to be happening about a week ago, please advise.

The below error keeps appearing for my users with a full CC license. I have updated Acrobat but it made no difference. Contact your administrator Access to Adobe Document Cloud files and Acrobat online services, including sharing and e-signing, requires an update to the latest version.

bonjour, j'ai crée un formulaire avec adobe pro => preparer un formulaire. J'ai utilisé les différents outils, jai eu recours a des boutons liens, des bouton de reinitialisation de  partie de formulaire, des fonctions java de colorisation ou de calcul interactif. Tout cela fonction sur mon pc windows, mais lorsque je met le pdf créé sur tablette avec l'appli adobe acrobat, certaines fonctions comme : le calcul interactif, les bouton resets et la colorisation du texte suivant les reponses ne fonctionnent pas. Comment puis je faire svp ?

In the old Acrobat DC you would click the stamp or comment or whatever tool (circle, line whatever you are adding) and as soon as you placed the stamp or the whatever the hover of the tool you were placing would disappear, now it stays attached to your cursor and I don't know how to make it go away. I can't find anything in preferences and if I click off the page it just drops another of whatever is attached to the cursor, how do I turn this off??? Thank you. 

I loved LiveCycle.  It allowed me to do this:Now, because XFA never grew and was discontinued, I need to create this functionality in Acrobat forms. I realize that Acroforms does not have growing fields, but I really am at a loss here.  I need to figure out a way to allow users to create a page 2 (3,4, etc), while putting the signature fields at the end.   This text may be copied/pasted from another application into this form.  When the user is done, they will "print to PDF," flattening the document into a multi-page PDF document.  I am looking for suggestions.  I am pretty good with the javascript, familiar with the use of hidden templates, and have a pretty good understanding of Acrobat form.  This is why I am discouraged by the number of "can't be done" comments.   I have come close with using the fieldFull event, but it seems to be a bit flakey.  The event.change and changeex  doesn't give me accurate data about

On MacOS Acrobat Pro 2024.005.20400, I can no longer delete and insert pages on duly password-protected PDFs (we want to protect the pages' content but leaving everything else possible). It says "operation not allowed" and then crashes. Last time I managed this operation was last december. Some newer version of Acrobat Pro since then must have introduced this bug.You can easily reproduce this bug like I just did with any PDF file (protect, save, close, open, try to add a page or delete one -> pop up + crash).Please help, since some of my company's critical documentation processes depend on it.

Hello everyone,  I'm trying to sign documents with my certificate through a acs smart card reader on the Adobe Acrobat. The card reader model is ACR39U-NF. It has been working flawlessly until recently.  Recently, I realized that it doesn't work and when I checked, there is no attached module under the Preferences > Signatures > Digital IDs > PKCS#11 Modules and Tokens.  By the way, other application can detect the device ACR39U-NF and the card with certificate in it successfully.  So, I can not click on the Attach Module, it's greyed out and passive. Please see the attached screenshot.  I'm not sure but this happened after a update (Operating System update or Adobe Acrobat update or Java update, I'm not sure.) I'm also attaching my operating system details in the attached files section.  Thanks for your help in advance. 

I'm trying to utilize scripts to calculate the LTV, LTARV and LTC as percentages in this pdf. It's not returning values for LTARV and LTC. The LTV calculation is only returning an error if the TransactionType field contains "Purchase" and the PurchasePrice field is left blank (which is correct). I've attached the form for reference. Here's the formula that chat gpt advised for the LTARV: // Get the values from the fieldsvar loanAmount = this.getField("LoanAmount").value;var asRepairedValue = this.getField("AsRepairedValue").value;var loanType = this.getField("LoanType").value; // Initialize the LTARV resultvar ltarvResult = ""; // Check the LoanType and calculate LTARV or set the value to "N/A"if (loanType === "Bridge w/ Rehab" || loanType === "Ground Up Construction") {    if (asRepairedValue != 0) {        ltarvResult = loanAmount / asRepairedValue;    } else {        ltarvResult = "N/A";    }}

I work with large PDFs, which I have to prepare for economic printing, therefor I have to duplicate some pages or sequences of pages, because the printed pages to to several people. Let's say my pdf has 9 pages (123456789), then I final print-out need to have e.g: 123456789 123 123 123 555 666 777 Formerly, I am (cursing removed) sure I could easily copy and paste single pages (555, 666,777) as well as sequences of pages (123) This is not possible any more. The option is greyed out. This is really annoying!!!

Patch not installing properly on about 10% of devices. We just reinstalled Acrobat across the org because of the broken April update and again, we're having issues patching. It doesn't install automatically when users run it and when I try to push the patch with /qn, it gives error 1603. Logging in directly on the PC and running the patch works on some but we can't keep having to do this each month on 100+ devices. What can we do to fix this so we can install remotely via powershell, SCCM, etc without the constant errors? If there was something wrong with how we're running it, it wouldn't work on the rest of devices so it tells me there is something else Adobe doesn't agree with.  LogCollector shows:New file object: AcrobatDCx64Upd2400220965.mspMVF259Newer version ARM update is not availableNtReadVirtualMemory read_peb failed, error: -2147483635NtQueryInformationProcess failed, error: -1073741790NtReadVirtualMemory read_peb failed, error: -1073741790NtQueryInformationProcess

As the title suggests, the Fill & Sign feature is completely missing on a freshly installed system.This feature works perfectly on my other devices, yet for some inexplicable reason, it refuses to appear on this one. I was genuinely unaware that such a fundamental function—one that countless users rely on—could be so utterly broken for so many people. I have exhausted every conceivable fix: changing language settings, tweaking registry values, installing every possible update, and yet, nothing. At this point, I am genuinely at my wits' end. Why should something so basic require this level of troubleshooting? More importantly, why is it broken in the first place? I can access Fill & Sign on the cloud, but that is completely useless for my needs. I am paying for a service that cannot even provide its core functionality. What exactly is my subscription fee funding? To make matters worse, Adobe’s support system is a masterclass in frustration. No matter what time of

I initially noticed that having both Adobe Acrobat and Creative Cloud installed was causing Adobe Acrobat to slow down significantly. Seeking a solution, I followed a suggestion from the Adobe community to download a standalone version of Adobe Acrobat that operates independently of Creative Cloud. After installing this standalone version, I found that it performed well and resolved the slowdown issue. However, this version was outdated and lacked the functionality to add signatures, which I needed for my work. To regain this functionality, I updated Adobe Acrobat to the latest version. Unfortunately, after the update, I began experiencing the same problem where Adobe Acrobat would become unresponsive and display a "Not Responding" message after some time of opening any PDF document. This recurring issue has been frustrating, as it hinders my ability to work efficiently with PDF files. The image below depicts a clear understanding of our problem. This issue has been severely affec

When I Save As PDF or when I use the toolbar and Create a PDF from word, I often lose an image at the bottom of the page. Here is a screenshot from my Word doc.  The -10 + 8 is missing from the PDF file.  If I try multiple times, occassionally it will work, but not always. This has been driving me crazy for a long time. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Quando uso a ferramenta de comentário, sempre que tento sobrescrever um caractere, assim que eu clico em "publicar", o texto passa para subscrito de forma automática. Não sei mais o que fazer para ajustar isso. Nada parece resolver a questão. Já desinstalei e reinstalei o Acrobat e atualizei para a versão mais recente, mas não foi resolvido. Estou usando a última versão disponível e não há mais atualizações a fazer. (Segue vídeo em anexo mostrando o problema).
