Hello Adobe Community,We are encountering a cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) preflight issue while integrating the Adobe Acrobat PDF Embed API into our B2B workflow.Setup Context: Our application, Frontline Sales Consultancy (flsc.co.uk), dynamically embeds document previews generated via API. We have registered our client ID and configured the allowed domain parameters accordingly. The Issue: When the PDF View SDK attempts to fetch document streams from our backend endpoint, browser developer tools report a preflight OPTIONS failure (403 / 502 Bad Gateway). Direct API requests bypassing the SDK viewer pass successfully without CORS blocks. Does the Adobe Embed API require specific header white-listing on origin servers when handling authorization bearer tokens? Any guidance on configuring origin response headers for custom Web SDK implementations would be greatly appreciated!Thanks!
I am creating a fillable form that has several calculations in it. Some are simple calculations of sum = adding the column, where others are custom calculations. As it sits now, the blank form has ‘0’s’ in all of the fields with calculations. How do I keep all of the fields blank? The form needs to be printed blank for the one who still use paper copies. Thanks in advance
Hello,I'm encountering a strange issue with an interactive PDF form created in Adobe Acrobat.The form is designed to calculate estimated scrap gold values based on weight, purity, and current market price. Users enter their values, the calculation runs automatically, and the PDF can then be saved for later reference.However, after saving and reopening the PDF, some calculated fields occasionally display a slightly different value than what was originally shown before saving.To verify the expected result, I compared the same inputs against a scrap gold calculator available at: https://scrapgoldmeltcalc.comThe calculation is correct initially, but after reopening the PDF, certain totals appear to be rounded differently.Current setup:Interactive PDF form Acrobat JavaScript calculations Number fields with decimal precision Auto-calculation enabledHas anyone experienced similar behavior with Acrobat recalculating form values after reopening a document?Could Acrobat be re-evaluating the Java
We are investigating a significant performance issue in our Acrobat plug-in when processing very large PDF documents, particularly files in the range of approximately 7,000 to 25,000 pages. Without our plugin also adobe takes significant amount of time for saving pdf and deleting pages.The plug-in performs basic document-editing operations, but these actions take an unexpectedly long time. During processing, Acrobat may appear to be unresponsive or frozen. The issue affects workflows such as:Adding a symbol/annotationDeleting a pageSaving the documentUsing Save AsOur initial root-cause analysis shows that the majority of execution time is spent in the following Acrobat SDK APIs called by the plug-in:PDPageAddNewAnnot / PDPageAddAnnot — while creating and adding annotationsPDDocSave — during document save operationsPDDocDeletePages — while deleting pagesWe would appreciate guidance on the following technical questions:Are there known scalability limitations or performance concerns for p

I'm developing an Acrobat Pro DC plug-in (C++, Acrobat DC SDK) that adds custom annotations. On certain large, old-version PDFs (10,000–25,000 pages), the first annotation added to the document blocks the UI for 60–170 seconds. Every subsequent add is ~1 ms. It's strictly one-time per document session.Crucially, the same freeze reproduces with Acrobat's own native Stamp/Comment tool — so this does not appear to be specific to my plug-in's code, but to Acrobat's core annotation-add path on these documents.Where the time goes (instrumented with std::chrono around each SDK call):PDPageCreateAnnot : 0 msPDPageAddAnnot : 68,982 ms <-- the entire cost is here(2nd annotation) : PDPageAddAnnot : 1 msSo the cost is entirely in PDPageAddAnnot (equivalently the second half of PDPageAddNewAnnot), i.e. the insertion into /Annots plus the PDPageWillAddAnnot/PDPageDidAddAnnot broadcast — not in creating the annotation. A pure Cos-level insert into the page's /Annots array (bypassing PDPag
I maintain an Acrobat Pro DC plug-in (C++, Acrobat DC SDK) that places custom annotations. With some very large, legacy-version PDFs (roughly 10,000–25,000 pages), placing the very first annotation freezes the UI for around 60–170 seconds. From the second annotation onward it's ~1 ms. The delay happens exactly once per opened document.What makes me think this isn't my plug-in: the same multi-minute stall happens when I use Acrobat's own native Stamp/Comment tool on these files. That points at Acrobat's core annotation-insertion path rather than my code.Timing I captured (std::chrono around each SDK call):PDPageCreateAnnot : 0 msPDPageAddAnnot : 68,982 ms <-- the entire cost is here(2nd annotation) : PDPageAddAnnot : 1 msThe whole delay sits in PDPageAddAnnot (i.e. the second half of PDPageAddNewAnnot) — the /Annots insertion and the synchronous PDPageWillAddAnnot/PDPageDidAddAnnot broadcast — not in creating the annotation. If I instead insert the annotation object into the

I've been exploring different ways to speed up the early stages of UI design and recently started using UXMagic to generate initial interface concepts from text prompts and rough sketches before refining them further. I'm curious how other designers are incorporating AI into their Adobe workflow. Do you bring AI-generated concepts into Photoshop or Illustrator for further editing, or do you prefer starting from scratch within Adobe? I'd love to hear what your workflow looks like and whether you've found a process that balances speed with creative control.
I visit the sitehttps://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/library/jsapiref/index.html almost every day. Finding something specific there is quite tedious. Most of the time, Google search takes me to the right place.The search field in the top left corner of the Reference does not work for me, neither in Firefox nor in Internet Explorer nor in Google Crome.Is there a trick to making this search work? How do you do it?

I use Take a Snapshot to make mailing labels. Today this option isn’t working. When I select Tak and Snapshot screen turns gray and cursor is followed by a white teardrop. If you try and select the label address it makes a white box which disappears as soon as I let go. Obviously have something set wrong, just don’t know what. Have tried rebooting multiple times.
Our college is looking for a system to digitize and automate the internal submission and approval process.Currently, submissions need to be reviewed and approved by multiple departments and managers before they are finalized. We are looking for a solution that can:• Allow users to create and submit forms electronically.• Route submissions through multiple approval levels/workflows.• Track the status of each submission in real time.• Maintain an audit trail showing who approved, rejected, or commented on a submission.• Send notifications to the next approver in the process.• Provide reporting and visibility into outstanding and completed submissions.• Integrate with Microsoft 365 where possible.Has anyone implemented a similar workflow within the Addu ecosystem? If so, which module or solution would you recommend, and what has been your experience?

Hi everyone, We're excited to announce that a new Adobe Community experience is coming this January. A little bit about the update: The new experience will be simpler to navigate, make it easier to connect with other creatives and Adobe experts, and is designed so you have a say in the evolution of the Adobe apps you use each day. In the meantime: Adobe Community will remain active. Keep using it as usual—there will be no interruption in access. In fact, you’ll notice even more Adobe Experts on deck to provide faster responses before, during, and after the update. No existing content will be lost in the update. Every single post, reply, solution, feature request, and bug report you’ve made will be transferred to the new experience. You won't need to recreate anything. Existing content will reappear in two phases. At launch, posts created on or before November 16th will be available immediately. A few weeks later, you’ll see posts created between Novem
Hi everyone,I'm trying to convert a YouTube video into a PowerPoint presentation and would love some advice. The video contains useful information that I want to summarize into slides for a class discussion and internal team training.What is the best way to turn a YouTube video into a PPT? Do you usually create slides manually from key timestamps, use the transcript to build the presentation, or follow another approach? I'd also appreciate tips on organizing the content, choosing the right number of slides, and highlighting the most important points without making the presentation too text-heavy.Looking forward to hearing your suggestions and experiences. Thanks!
I'm writing because I haven't been able to solve this problem.I'm generating a DOCX file using Microsoft Word.I need to insert hyperlinks to specific pages in several PDF files stored on my computer's local drive.When I click a hyperlink, the PDF opens at the location where I left it during my last viewing, but it ignores the page number I specify at the end of the link using the #page=12 syntax (where 12 is the page that should open immediately).
Hi everyone,I'm working on a PDF timesheet form in Acrobat where employees enter their daily start/end times and breaks. The form calculates total hours worked and exports the results to CSV.The problem is that Acrobat JavaScript calculates everything in HH:MM format, but our payroll system requires decimal hours (for example, 7:30 should become 7.50). I've noticed small discrepancies when users manually convert the values before importing them into payroll.For testing, I compared Acrobat's output with an external work-hours calculator that handles HH:MM to decimal conversion and overtime calculations: https://mauricettecalcul.fr/Is there a recommended Acrobat JavaScript approach for accurately converting worked hours to decimal values before CSV export? Ideally, I'd like the PDF to generate payroll-ready figures automatically.Thanks for any guidance.

I am trying to do one operation during pdf close and trying to persist it Using PDDocSave. The problem is all other unsaved things also gets saved due to this which I don't want. So is there a way to save only a particular change while closing? Or should I avoid save operation during the pdClose call back all togehter

I had a legitimate copy of CS 5.5 installed on my old iMac, which I use sporadically. Not frequent enough to justify an upgrade to a paid subscription anyway.After I had to re-install this iMacs OS (High Sierra, 10.13.6, last available for this iMac), I had to re-install the applications as well.Adobe site, after log in, gives me my software key as well as an option to download the installation files. Nice!After download, clicking on install.dmg opens the installation wizzard, but clicking install returns a message: “install” can not be opened. You need to remove the disk image. Same message after open with/contents/MacOS/Install.Is there a way to open the installation file and get installation going? Obviously all files are present.Thanks!
I'm developing an Acrobat plugin (C++) that needs to automatically remove specific custom stamp annotations (calculator tape annotations) when the document is closed, based on a user preference setting.The requirement: When the preference "Clear Calculator Tape on Save" is enabled, any calculator tape annotations should be removed from the document when it is closed, so that upon reopening, the tapes are no longer present.I’ve tried few things like:1. AVDocWillCloseNSEL with PDDocSave: I registered for AVDocWillCloseNSEL, removed the annotations in the callback, and called PDDocSave(doc, PDSaveIncremental, ...) to persist the removal. This works when the document is clean (no unsaved changes). However, when the document has unsaved non-tape changes (e.g., an unsaved symbol annotation) and the user clicks "Don't Save" on Acrobat's prompt, my PDDocSave call still writes to disk — effectively overriding the user's "Don't Save" intent for the other changes2.PDDocWillSaveNSEL (no explicit s
I have a sub that opens a PDF, adds a couple signature fields to it, and then saves the file. All works well if I save the file to a different name, but I need to save the file using the same file name, but it's not working like it used to. Thank you.Code:Sub AddSigFields(docName As String, SignLeft As Boolean, SignRight As Boolean) Dim AcroApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp Dim pdDoc As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc Dim avDoc As Acrobat.CAcroAVDoc Dim JSO As Object Dim SignField As Object 'I omitted the code that defines the SigCoord arrays. Not the problem. Set AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App") Set avDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc") If avDoc.Open(docName, "") Then Set pdDoc = avDoc.GetPDDoc Set JSO = pdDoc.GetJSObject If SignLeft Then Set SignField = JSO.AddField("SigFieldLeft", "signature", 0, SigCoordsLeft) End If If SignRight Then
