I think it's time to take a look back at DW again.. Thanks for the heads up Nancy! edit: While at first glance I don't think it's going to work for my needs, I'll give it a try. For example, one Wordpress MU I have set up has tons of themes. Right now with Koala I can set up each theme's separate SASS folder as a separate watch folder with it's own config. I defined a new site pointing toward the entire WPMS site (that's how I work on themes in Brackets, just files/folders). Now I only appear to have a single source and destination config for the entire WPMS and all themes. In other words, it looks like it wants me to define a new site for each theme so I can get per-theme source/destination SASS mappings. Since I often use parent/child themes, I often need to access other themes files. Is there a config I'm missing that'd let me separate the SASS source/destinations? Perhaps a header declaration that tells DW how to map it. That or I need to head over to the feature recommendation page ... View more

To be honest, hire a coder. While there's several libraries out there you can find via search to do such a thing already, it would be advisable to use a system that's designed to allow you to moderate anything that is publicly posted. I know you want a system in a box solution but having witnessed more often than I'd like that people will abuse things when possible, you should have some control over the power you give to users. If you really want to step out of the designer role and become a coder as well then this library can get you started in a design-centric way. You can't replace a coders experience quickly but you can utilize libraries (that Adobe does as well) to help you along. ... View more

I can't give you the entire answer but just the preliminary answer would be that you'd likely need to get into some advanced extension creation as well as some general programming. Adobe has extension scripting and as long as the tables were marked in a way where you could guarantee a script could locate them, then they can be read. This sounds like a job for a language however. Depending on complexity, many other languages (c#, Java, PHP, JavaScript, etc) have libraries which can read PDF to varying degrees. They also have Excel exporters available as other libraries. This would make the batching much easier. Either way, there's always the manual export to spreadsheet option from Acrobat DC, although the entire table will be exported. I imagine right now you're already copying the table into a new separate PDF and exporting to Excel though. ... View more

Eventually you want to create something new and save it (unless you have a habit of sending hundreds/thousands of pages to a printer). That's what JavaScript won't help you with in any sensible way. You've mentioned you're willing to consider learning a new language to get the job done. Languages like Java, c#, c++, .NET framework, Obj-c, etc etc are all quite large. If you're willing to learn a language you should choose one that has other practical uses to you. I personally would recommend either Java for the platform (OS) agnostic approach and giant amount of available resources, or c#.NET for the same thing. Although I have a vested interest in Java for editing games with my kids . There's been recent posts here you can look for in these pages that approach reading and constructing PDFs. For example here's one that covers the reading side on c#.NET that you might want to take a look at yourself: How do I embed PDF in RTF file using c#?

The first thing I would be curious about is what you intend to do with the results. For any language to help you completely it will need that ability.

If you'd like to access the library then it can be a little complicated "looking" but it's possible. The normal way to make a library item appear on stage is just open the properties on any library element, go in properties and check off the "Export for ActionScript" while giving it a valid "class" name (letters, numbers, try to stick with that). For example if I named my library item in Export for ActionScript to "myClip1" then to display it I would: // make a new clip 'instance' of 'myClip1' from the Library var clip1:MovieClip = new myClip1(); // add it to the stage to be visible stage.addChild(clip1); Here's a shot including the properties panel. A few things to note. The drop-down in properties is set to make it a MovieClip as is the "Base Class" setting, so I must set the type in ActionScript (as you see highlighted) appropriately. In the code above the only extra thing is the stop() so it doesn't keep repeating the frame code. Also note that in the code I am only using the "Export for ActionScript" name, not the name of the library item. Run that and you'll see your clip appear. To grab something dynamically based on a variable like you're doing makes use of the getDefinitionByName() function so you can use variables to specify the name, like in the loop where it uses an index on the clips array and returns the string: clips. Since getDefinitionByName returns a class you typically convert it to the proper type as well. Like so: So your loop will look similar to this, assuming you have 3 clips in the library "clip1", "clip2", "clip99": import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName; stop() // keep track of the current clip  var lastClip:int = 0;  var currentClip:MovieClip;   // filling an array with instance names on the timeline to choose between  // add as many as you like  var clips:Array = [ 'clip1', 'clip2', 'clip99' ];// assuming on the main stage    // assign button handler, season name to taste  changeClipbtn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, changeClipHandler );       function changeClipHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {      // assure clips contains something to assure no infinite loops    if ( clips.length == 0 ) { return; }// no clips, do nothing      // stop current clip   currentClip.gotoAndStop(1);     // only a single clip? play it again    if ( clips.length == 1 ) {       currentClip.gotoAndPlay(1);       return;    }      // if we get here we at least have 2 clips      // rand generate a number pointing to a spot in the array     var nextClip:int = Math.floor( Math.random() * clips.length );      // if the generated number is the same as the last number, generate again    while ( nextClip == lastClip ) {      nextClip = Math.floor( Math.random() * clips.length );    }       // track the new loading clip    lastClip = nextClip;      // remove existing clip from the stage   stage.removeChild( currentClip );     // get a class reference to the new clip from the library   var clipClass:Class = getDefinitionByName( clip[ nextClip ] ) as Class;     // no class? do nothing   if ( ! clipClass ) { return; }     var currentClip = new clipClass() as MovieClip;     // add to stage   stage.addChild( currentClip );     // play clip   currentClip.play();   }  You can see the getDefinitionByName now. The class is retrieved from the library via the name you put in the array at the top (clip1, clip2, clip99 etc). If it finds a class via that name it is instantiated and added to the stage, and then told to play. It might look a little complicated but you should be able to tinker with it. It might give you an error (I did it off the top of my head, no Adobe Animate on this system at the moment) but I'm sure you can figure it out if it's just a typo. Season to taste. ... View more

This isn't that useful but I believe it'll end up being a 2-stage process that you may need to use a 2+ libraries to perform the various steps. Don't get me wrong, there's OCR libs for c# that read pdfs full of images, and no doubt you saw the price was over $4k for a developer license haha. There's a few. I'm assuming you want to avoid that. There's tools like Xpdf and others that you should find and try just so you can read the PDF images themselves. After you get those images, you might need to convert them to a different image format, and them feed them into an OCR library. Google manages a project Tesseract OCR which you may want to look at. I believe it only compiles to C++ but you know there's ways to use a C++ library with c#. A lot of work to do, but that's probably why they made their direct PDF Image -> OCR Text plugins so expensive. ... View more

This is just a quick frame script assuming there's timeline clips named 'clip_1', 'clip_2' and 'clip_99', just for examples. It just has an array you can add as many clips to that you like (named anything) and it'll stop all other clips in the array while starting a different random clip that won't be the same clip. This is the easy way so it should be easy to follow (there's a million ways to do it). Again assuming those clips and 'changeClipBtn' was the name of your button, just change to suit your needs. This is a script on frame 1 of the main timeline: // keep track of the current clip var lastClip:int = 0; // filling an array with instance names on the timeline to choose between // add as many as you like var clips:Array = [ 'clip_1', 'clip_2', 'clip_99' ];// assuming on the main stage // might want to iterate though clips turning their visible off, etc // assign button handler, season name to taste changeClipbtn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, changeClipHandler ); function changeClipHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {   // assure clips contains something to assure no infinite loops   if ( clips.length == 0 ) { return; }// no clips, do nothing   // we at least have one clip, stop all clips   for ( var i:int = 0; i < clips.length; i++ ) {   root[ clips ].gotoAndStop(1);   }   // only a single clip? play it again   if ( clips.length == 1 ) {   this[ clips[0] ].gotoAndPlay(1);   return;   }   // if we get here we at least have 2 clips   // rand generate a number pointing to a spot in the array   var nextClip:int = Math.floor( Math.random() * clips.length );   // if the generated number is the same as the last number, generate again   while ( nextClip == lastClip ) {   nextClip = Math.floor( Math.random() * clips.length );   }   // just showing you the values   trace('nextClip:' + nextClip + ', lastClip:' + lastClip);   // track the new loading clip   lastClip = nextClip;   // here you can just play the clip or return the value, I'm asking it to play   root[ clips[nextClip] ].gotoAndPlay(1); } ...

I was messing around in the Format->key validation area doing the onkeypress but that kind of validation seems to have some issues. One specific item is when a field has a value deleted, the next keypress reports the fields current value as the previous value that you delete. So if you had 9 in the box which is out of range, then deleted it so the input is empty, on the next keypress in the empty box it reports the value as 9. So to get around that and the annoyance of being constantly told I'm wrong while typing I just did a onblur script which merely fires after the user clicks off the percent input. Then the user is only told a single time that the value is invalid. I added that to the Actions->On Blur area (note the actual "Actions" portion below states On Blur" despite the "Add an Action" states Mouse Up, don't get confused, it's an On Blur event): With a pretty simple script that just allows the user to enter anything they like, and then validates once they click away. It's looking for a 1 digit followed optionally by a decimal point and 2 more digits. In the end it parses the number to display a float with 2 decimal precision. If you enter something invalid (not a number or negative numbers) it will set it back to 0.00 and make it red. If the value is acceptable then it will be formatted as mentioned above and be black with no errors. It's using event.target so it doesn't matter what you name your input box when you apply this script to it. Here's the script so you don't need to type it. Just add an input, give it a name, right-click, hit properties, hit actions and do as you see above. This, I'm sure, is just one of many ways to do it. There's a validation area as well, but this seemed simple. var val = event.value; var err = 'Percent value is out of range (0.00 - 3.00)'; // is it following #[.##] format? if ( ! /^\d{1}\.?\d{0,2}?$/.test( val ) ) {   // invalid format, alert user   app.alert( err );   event.target.textColor = color.red;   if ( isNaN( val ) || parseFloat( val ) < 0 ) {     event.target.value = '0.00';   } } else {    // format is valid   var num = parseFloat( val ).toFixed(2);    // is a valid range (0.00 - 3.00)?   if ( isNaN( num ) || num < 0 || num > 3 ) {     // range is invalid     event.target.textColor = color.red;     app.alert( err );     if ( isNaN( num ) || num < 0 ) {       event.target.value = '0.00';     }   } else {     // range is valid, set text black and set value to formatted number     event.target.textColor = color.black;     event.target.value = num;   } } Season to taste. That's as much time as I have for now and again, I don't really do any PDF scripting so this is just a stab at it. Note also that the '1' and '2' are in the errors just to help you get your feet wet with which validation error is occuring. It's in the screenshot but I took it out of the pasted code. ...

I do get what you're trying to do now and when I complete my work I'll try to fit in an example PDF for you, or post the steps to reproduce here. I do very little scripting on any Adobe app but I know all the languages and don't feel it'll be that much of a challenge. That said, I really think it's better form if you do not append the % to the actual input number. I think you should leave that outside the input box as static text, and reduce the width of the input, so it looks generally like this: [ 1.5   ] % Many users are very used to seeing this kind of input and it's one less thing you need to worry about. That said, the code to find a % in the existing input and make sure not to duplicate it isn't going to be that hard either. I just need to finish my work and I'll see what I can do. AB PDF JS may not be exactly like JavaScript as mentioned (I'm not sure about it) but the basics are sure not to change.

The drop-down definitely won't work unless you had a small, fixed amount of values to choose from. At least it's not practical. I only did a few things in PDFs regarding JavaScript for validation but before I open up a PDF and try what you're attempting, I'd like to really understand why you feel you need to divide the users input by 100 (e.g. 3 = 0.03)? You can calculate that at a later time and leave the users inputted number so it makes sense to them. If they put in [ 1.5 ]% and it instantly turns to what I think you're doing,  [ 0.15 ]%, that can be confusing to users. Do you merely need this value to be used internally in your calculations or is it actually important to show the user the number divided by 100? What if they see their input divided by 100 and then the next time they use it, they put in 0.15 and you divide that by 100 again? I'm trying to get to the behavior you really seek for this input. ... View more
