> but you can simply click into the fields of the form Acrobat displays and fill them in. You can't, actually. Those fields are set as read-only and I believe an error in the code is preventing them from becoming visible when they are needed. This issue needs to be reported to the institution that created the form. There's nothing the end-user can (or should) do about it.

The trial version of Acrobat is fully functional. It has exactly the same features as the full version.

Do you mean that if the first field shows "10.23" then the second one should show "Ten and twenty three hundredths" or something like that? If so, it's possible using a script, but it's a pretty complex task... If you're interested in hiring a professional to create it for you, feel free to contact me privately by clicking my user-name and then on the blue "Message" button.

You can change it manually via the Options dialog of the Combine Files command: Make sure that box is NOT ticked.

Are you using an application or a web-based service to do it? And which one?

This will happen if the files can't be combined to a single PDF, for example if one of them is secured, digitally signed or was created using LiveCycle Designer.

I tried the other drop-downs in both Reader and Acrobat and they worked fine. Please upload a full-window video that demonstrates the issue for further help.

What kind of signature is it? A signature field? A comment? An image? Something else? And what application are they using when they apply it?

There's nothing you can do in JS to fix this, as JS can only create JS-based actions. What you can do, though, is convert those actions to "Go to a Page"-type actions, but that requires using an external tool, like this other (paid-for) tool I've developed: https://www.try67.com/tool/convert-javascript-links-to-real-links Once you do that you would be able to use the built-in split commands, and that tool can process a file in seconds.

Are you adding the form fields in Acrobat? If not, then it's possible the application that created them did not do so correctly.

Where did you place the code? Are there any error messages when it is executed? What exactly happens when it is executed?

Post a screenshot of what you're seeing with a file open, and share that file, please.

try67 · ‎Apr 01, 2025

You need to open a file first...

It does it automatically when you edit the text. It's not triggered through that command.

try67 · ‎Apr 01, 2025

Because that command doesn't actually execute the bookmarks. It looks at the action associated with them, and it can't handle a JS-based one properly. To do that you would need to split the file using a script, like this (paid-for) one I've developed: https://www.try67.com/tool/acrobat-extract-chapters-by-bookmarks

What don't you see?

try67 · ‎Apr 01, 2025

No, it never did, until recently.

This is not the same file as in your screenshot. The "Shipping Carrier" selection in this one is a radio-button group, not a drop-down.

The scrolling option is not related to the zoom setting. You can fit to page and still have it scroll one page or a time, or not. But you can enable the Fit to Page option by pressing Ctrl+0. If you also pin the "Enable Scrolling" icon to the toolbar (by clicking the thumbtack icon next to it), you'll be one click away from changing it.

try67 · ‎Apr 01, 2025

Do you mean you want to use the same string for both fields, and be able to edit it in one place, and have it automatically apply to all of them?

try67 · ‎Apr 01, 2025

Very hard to say. Email addresses can be faked. If this is a real message it should also appear when you log in to your account on adobe's website. Open the website yourself, though. Do not click any links in that email that supposedly take you there.

try67 · ‎Apr 01, 2025

Another option is to mimic a drop-down using buttons with images. One can be the trigger to show all the options, and the others will "close" the menu when clicked and store the selected value somewhere. This will require the development of a custom-made script, though.

What PDF plugin is used in the browser when this happens?

try67 · ‎Mar 31, 2025

Pages 76-78 contain a forward-slash in the page name, which is causing it to fail. There might be other issues, but that's the first one I've encountered so I stopped there. I recommend you add this line before the extractPages command, so you could see where it got stuck in the loop: console.println(p); Remember the page numbers are 0-based, so if it shows "75" it means page 76...

Any type of image in a PDF file can be easily copied. Use a digital signature field for something that can't be. You can have it display your "wet" signature as its appearance, but the important bit is the validation process of that field, which can only happen using the public key you can share with others.

If you're using the old Acrobat UI, click on Tools - Prepare Form and then on "More" at the right-hand side of the window and then on "Revert to Acrobat Form". If you're using the new Acrobat UI go to Tools and search for "Prepare Form", then click the "three dots" icon next to "Prepare a Form" on the left-hand panel and then on "Remove e-signing options". In the future, when creating the form for the first time do not tick the box that says "This document requires signatures", as it converts it to an Adobe Sign form, which has limited functionality.

The issue is not with the original file name, but the one you're trying to use to save the pages, that is, the page label. If you could share the file I would be able to provide further help.

try67 · ‎Mar 31, 2025

You need to make sure that: - The new file-name is valid, ie. doesn't contain any characters that can't be used for a file-name, such as: / \ * : For some reason, a script also can't save a file-name with a comma in it. You must remove all of these characters from the string before you use it as the new file-name. - The new file-name is not the same as the one of the original file, if you're trying to save the extracted pages in the same folder.

try67 · ‎Mar 31, 2025

Go to Preferences (under Menu in the new UI, or Edit in the old one) - Security (Enhanced) and tick off everything there.

try67 · ‎Mar 31, 2025

Not possible. What you can do, though, is disable all of these texts and create your own image, but it won't contain any of the dynamic information that is a part of the signature, like the date.
