Re: Lost Activation Code

Your question is not very clear at all. What are you trying to do, and what exactly is the problem?A You should be registered on Adobe.com, even if you purchased Acrobat as a part of a "student plan".

try67 · ‎Aug 30, 2016

Acrobat version? OS version? Exact error message?

try67 · ‎Aug 30, 2016

Acrobat 9 is also not compatible with Windows 10. You need to get Acrobat XI or higher.

You posted your question in the wrong forum, but I can tell you there there isn't a Flash Player available for iPads.

If you run Text Recognition on the file it should get deskewed. Alternatively, you can use a script, like this one I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Deskew PDF Pages

Sure. Before your submit command add an Execute JavaScript command with this code: this.getField("SubmitDate").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM", new Date()); Adjust the field name and/or date pattern as required.

Very odd. It's certainly not expected behaviour, but looks like some kind of corruption in the XMP Metadata. Are you able to export the metadata to an XML file and inspect it? You can output it to the JS Console by running this code: this.metadata That might help locate the problem, although it's a long shot...

Acrobat 7 is a very old version and not compatible with Windows 7. It's time to get a newer version.

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

Acrobat 8 is a very old version and not compatible with Windows 10, so problems are to be expected. One thing you can do, though, is try the installer from here: Download Acrobat 8 and Acrobat 9

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

That's not so simple to implement, especially the part about sorting them (based on what?) and adding bold text (that would require using Span objects the Rich Text Formatting option)...

Chrome uses its own internal PDF viewer plugin, unrelated to Adobe. If there are problems with it you should report it to the developers of that plugin.

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

OK, that's quite easily done. As the button's MouseUp event, select "Execute JavaScript" and then enter this code: event.target.buttonImportIcon(); When you then click the button it will open a file selection dialog, and the selected file will be displayed as the button's icon.

It can be done using a script, but it's a pretty bad idea and it doesn't work very well. Look for a different way of achieving it.

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Windows 10, nor Office 2016. You need to upgrade to the latest version.

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

You can only do that if the script is installed on the user's local machine. And of course, you need to know the full path of the image file. Otherwise, the used will need to select it manually.

There used to be only one track, until the two-track system was introduced with Acrobat DC. Personally I think that Adobe should include all the same features in both versions, maybe with a certain delay in the Classic track (since it's updated on a quarterly basis), or rename them so it's not so confusing for users.

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

Do you know how to use Actions to process multiple files in the same manner?

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

Reader is a stripped, free version of Acrobat, but in this case it has features that your version doesn't...

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

It happens because your invoices contain form fields, and fields with the same name in a single file will always have the same value. The solution is to flatten the files before merging them, converting the form fields into static content. If you have Acrobat Pro then you can do it using a simple Action. Otherwise you'll need to do each file separately.

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

Acrobat is not the same as Reader... In Acrobat this option is only available in the Continuous (Subscription) track, not the Classic track.

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

So the formula is not: stddev = sqrt (sum (sampleXRow1 - average)^2 / (n-1)) But: stddev = sqrt (sum ((sampleXRow1 - average)^2) / (n-1)) So the code should be something like this: var avg = Number(this.getField("AverageRow1").valueAsString); var sum = 0; var n = 0; for (var i=1; i<=8; i++) { var v = this.getField("sample"+i+"Row1").valueAsString; if (v!="") { sum+=Math.pow((Number(v)-avg),2); n++; } } if (n==0 || n==1) event.value = ""; else event.value = Math.sqrt(sum / (n-1));

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

I also think there's something wrong with your formula, because it seems to me that the sum of all the values minus the average will always be zero...

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

Never mind, got it now... The field names you provided were not accurate. Open the JS Console and you'll see an error message about the "Average" field. The actual name seems to be "AverageRow1", so adjust it accordingly in the code.

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

Are you sure? It seems like you sent an email to the forum, instead...

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

If you want JavaScript to capture the mouse coordinates, you'll need to cover the entire page with a button field which may not be practical. Not true. You can use the mouseX and mouseY properties, as I've mentioned. Edit: Unless you mean that the button will also trigger the script itself, in which case you're correct. But it can still be done using the keyboard if the button is added to the application menus.

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

Yes, it does, actually. It's called Adobe LiveCycle Designer, and it also generates PDF files, but the technology behind them is very different to that used by Acrobat.

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

There's no such option in Acrobat forms. You can try to do it using a script, but it's quite complicated and will probably not work very well.

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

You can use the document's Will Save event to do that. You'll find it under Tools - JavaScript - Set Document Actions.

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

The actual PDF file. You can either send it to me directly (try6767 at gmail.com) or upload it to something like Dropbox and post a share link here on the forum.

try67 · ‎Aug 29, 2016

You need to upgrade to Reader DC to have this feature.
