Are there in Acrobat JS Api command  - confirm() - like in native JS?


You can use the alert method for that. For example:

 

if (app.alert("Do you want to print the file now?",2,2)==4) {

    this.print();

}

Hi There,

 

Thanks for reporting this.

We provide a JavaScript tool inside Adobe Acrobat, which can be used to any additional content like page number on the PDF file.

 

Regards,

Swapnil Srivastava

    Hi there. How can I bring up a modal window in Acrobat? I want that after sorting by page size, a modal window appears with a print request, if agreed, it should call the printer and plotter, depending on the size of the sheet. Somebody can advice me?

    Look into the print method of the Document object and especially into the various properties of the PrintParams object.

    Here's a simple example of how to print pages 1-5 to one printer and pages 6-10 to another:

     

     

    var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.printerName = "My Printer 1";
pp.firstPage = 0;
pp.lastPage = 4;
this.print(pp);
pp.printerName = "My Printer 2";
pp.firstPage = 5;
pp.lastPage = 9;
this.print(pp);

     

    Edit: Small mistake fixed in the code.
