It is the operating system and/or the general system settings which determine how numbers are treated in the sorting order. Probably the easiest would be to rename the fields, so that a sufficient number of leading zeroes are in the name (such as "001", "002" etc. if the biggest ordinal number is less than 1000). HTH. ...

For always rounding up to the next integer, you would use the Math.ceil() method. Your code may work, but I strongly suggest to stay with complete syntax, as it makes your code more readable and understandable. It would then look like this: var VOL = this.getField("VOL").value ; var CFM50 = this.getField("CFM50").value ; if (VOL == "" || VOL == 0 || CFM50 == "") { event.value = 0 ; } else { event.value = Math.ceil(CFM50 * 60 / VOL) ; } Note that I also test for VOL to be 0, because that would cause a division by zero, which would lead to infinity as event.value. You may also take into consideration whether event.value = 0 is a legal value if one of the input values is not (yet) defined. Hope this can help. ... View more

So, you want to display the number in "hundredths of percents". The easiest way would be to multiply the field's value with 100. If you need the preceeding zeroes, you would use the util.printf() method to format the number with preceding zeroes. You may also need the Math.floor() method to cut off remaining decimal digits. And that should do it. Also, in my understanding of the replace() method, you'd have to separate the Regular Expression and the replacement string with a comma. And, in this situation it is better to use the valueAsString property, as already mentioned by Karl Heinz Kremer. ... View more

The CameraRAW plug-in is NOT scriptable. There are some ways to remote control it; we are using it in our image optimizing tools, but it is not for the faint at heart, and requires quite a bit of external programming. The CameraRAW filter is indirectly scriptable, by using the Scripting Listener, and then noodle around in its result (warning: there are many, many options…). ... View more

The .DS_Store file is a OSX system file, and contains desktop information for the according folder. If you want/need to ignore this file, you might either test whether it is visible (convention says that when a file name begins with a period, the file is invisible), or you would use some other mechanism to create the list of files you want to copy. You might also look for file extensions and select accordingly. If you can use Applescript, things get quite easy, because there you can create a list of files from a folder without invisibles. ...

In my experience, this error message means that there is a syntax error. As a first step, you might search in your code for "Get" (capitalized), and check whether this is correct.

I am doing quite a few (Photoshop) JavaScript calls out of Applescript, and I explicitely state that it is a POSIX file, and I also set the file spec in parentheses. Your example would then look like this: tell application "Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.5"   do javascript (file (POSIX file ("/Users/davidebarranca/Desktop/pippo.jsx"))) end tell and this is stable. If Photoshop CC 2015 is not installed when CC 2015.5 is present, I can even tell the application "Adobe Photoshop CC 2015" to do stuff, and it will do that correctly. ... View more

The value of "unchecked" of a checkbox or radiobutton is "Off". This can not be changed.

JavaScript in general consists of the Core, and application-specific extensions. Web browser client-side JavaScript consists of the Core and webbrowser-client-side-specific extensions. Server-side JavaScript consists of the Core ans server-specific extensions. Acrobat JavaScript consists of the Core and Acrobat/PDF-specific extensions. ActionScript consists of the Core and Flash-specific extensions and so on… So, for scripting in Acrobat/PDF, you have to know about the Core, the Acrobat/PDF-specific extensions, as well as the PDF document object model. IMHO, the best reference about the Core is Flanagan's book "JavaScript, the definitive Guide (now in its 6th edition), published by O'Reilly. The reason why it is my favorite, it makes a clear distinction between Core and (well, probably the most common use) webbrowser-specific extensions. But because the distinction exists, it is easy to ignore the non-Core stuff. And for Acrobat/PDF JavaScript, you will have to get the Acrobat SDK documentation, where you will find the Acrobat JavaScript documentation. Hope this can help. ... View more

Note to the administrator: this thread could be moved to the German section. Das Ganze lässt sich konzentrierter und kontrollierter abwickeln, indem ein Script erstellt wird, in welchem die ganze Logik (welche Box angeklickt, welches Feld zugänglich, welches Feld nicht zugänglich) enthalten ist. Dieses Script wird dann als Calculation Script einem unsichtbaren und schreibgeschützten Textfeld zugewiesen, welches irgendwo im Formular platziert werden kann. (in diesem Script können auch weitere Berechnungen etc. konsolidiert werden). Ein einzelner Block könnte dann so aussehen: if (this.getField("myCheckBox").value == "Yes") { this.getField("myAssociatedTextField").display = display visible ; } else { this.getField("myAssociatedTextField").display = display.hidden ; } Damit wird die Arbeit einfacher und konzentrierter.

The "PDF barcode form fields" article is irrelevant for this issue here, because it covers only 2D-barcodes. And it also has nothing to do with JavaScript (but good for you, as JavaScript is one of the forums I follow). 1D barcodes can be represented with special fonts, and therefore, you would find a font for your symbology, set up a regular text field, specify the font, and then have your logic add the right string; depending on the symbology, you may have to do some fine-tuning. Hope this can help. ... View more

You can do it using JavaScript. However, the protection would be very weak, and could easily overcome. One approach would be placing a cover field over every page of the document, and have a pageOpen script on the first page (usually the page at which the document opens), which checks for the date range, and hides the cover fields if things are OK. In case of a dumb PDF viewer, the cover fields won't hide, and the document would not become visible. ... View more
