Support for Acrobat 8.0 ended Nov 3, 2011. I am surprised that it runs on your system. By running such an old and unsupported application you are running the risk of a hack attack on your system. It is a good thing that you are running a much newer version of Adobe Reader and it is not interfering with Acrobat. To remove the message, you need to update your version of Acrobat.

Date calculations are done using JavaScript custom calculations or actions. Date calculations or formatting cannot be done in the Simplified field notation or any of the "field value is the __________ of the following fields. All string date values need to be converted to thed JavaScript Date object. Adobe has provided some documentation about Using the Date Object and performing Date arithmetic.
It is easiest to convert date strngs to a Date object by using the util.scand method. This method will report an invalid date string by returning a null value. One can use JavaScript to manipulate date objects and extract data from the Date object. One can get the fullYear, month, day, hour, minute, second, and milliseconds as well as set them.
Taking all the above, one can use for dates with the format of "d-mmm-yyyy".
// custom calculation script for EndDate; // get start date string; var cStartDate = this.getField("StartDate").valueAsString; // convert date string to date object; var oStartDate = util.scand("d-mmm-yyyy", cStartDate); // set date time to midnight by setting seconds and milliseconds to 0; oStartDate.setSeconds(0, 0); if(oStartDate == null) { app.alert("Date Converstion Error start date " + cStartDate, 1, 0); } // get length of agreement in months; var nAgreementMonths = this.getField("AgreementMonths").value; // set end date to start date plus lenght of agreements in months; var oEndDate = oStartDate; oEndDate.setMonth(oEndDate.getMonth() + nAgreementMonths); // set field value to formatted comuted end date; event.value = util.printd("d-mmm-yyyy", oEndDate);
Note JavaScript does not use the last day of the month but the number of days in the start month.

You will need to assign a unique object name to the second PDF when you open it. This can only be done using the app.openDoc() method. You will have to make sure the this.disclosed property is set in the second PFD.

It sounds like you have data on the page that is being used for the template. I create a termplate, spawn the first page, hide the template page, and then rename the fields on the first page from "P1" to "P0". Your first page has the exact field names that appear on your template.

The Windows OS is issuing this message to inform you that a file named "john" is being opened and Windows does not know which application to use. The window has a list of possible programs from which you need to select one to open the file. Acrobat just happens to be the first application listed. I would find the file and delete it.

Each OS has a number of restrictions on file and naming conventions. Also Word may be limiting you to certain safe directories. Since Word is issuing this message, it really is a Word problem. What OS are you using?

To remove the password with the password PDF opened you need to select "File => Properties" and then select the "Security" tab in the pop-up window. Select the option to change the security to "No Password". You will be prompted for the current password of the file. You must supply the correct password to remove the password. This is how PDF password security has worked for many versions.

You can use JavaScript to set the items of a drop down field using the setItems() method. This is custom JavaScript coding so you will need to provide more detailed information.

Can you provide a linko to this great offer? Unless you down loaded from a page on the Adobe.com site, I suspect you were scammed. Contact your credit card company and cancel the payment and block any more payments from that vendor. You might not be able to do this if you used a debit card.

Using the "Custom calculation script" along with hierarchical field names one can compute the field names if a row if the fields are created using "Create multiple copies". var cFieldName = event.target.name; var aFieldName = cFieldName.split("."); var cRow = ""; if(aFieldName.length > 1){ cRow = "." + aFieldName[aFieldName.length - 1]; } event.value = this.getField("Monthlyestimate" + cRow).value * 12; Note the script can tell if the field does not have multiple levels. This helps in testing the calculation.

T/here is no guarantee that even if there are searchable words on a page that all word images on the page can be searched. A PDF can consist of word and images and images can have words with them but those words will still be an image.

No. you the possibility of 2 divisions by zero.. caw could be zero and wov could be 52. I would use something like: event.value= ""; if(wov != 52 || caw !=0) { event.value = (fg / (52 -wov)) / caw } Of course you will need to load the values into the variables. If wov or caw is conputed you may need to the try catch statements to trap divisors near zero.

When you have the "Preview" turned on in File Explorer/Finder the OS opens the PDF and displays the preview jpeg of the PDF. The file is therefore considered open the the OS. You need to turn of the "Preview" option.

Acrobat/Reader stores the results of calculations in 16 digit floating point numbers but calculates using binary numbers. This results in having a slightly different answer than when the computation is done with paper and pencil. Remove all formatting from the result field and observe the resulting value. Also the displayed value as set by the Format tab is the rounded value of the results of the computation. If one uses the custom calculation script then one can force the result of the calculation using the Math.ceil or the Math.floor methods to remove any rounding or use the util.printf method to round the result to an given number of decimal places. One can also create their own rounding script.

1. What results are you getting? 2. Have you checked the Acrobat JavaScript console for errors? It is best to use the util.scand method to obtain the date object for a date in a string format.

The arithmetic operators are "+" for addition or coordination, "*" for multiplication, "/" for division, and "-" for subscription. I would leave the value of the field alone and use the custom format script to dispaly tne "-" for the missing data.
