On Windows you can print the file to the Adobe PDF printer, and then you can print individual pages from it.
On a Mac you'll need to find some other virtual printer that can do that.

> I don't want to have to search for a cracked version of the software I legitimately purchased, I just want a working way to reactivate it or a permanent unlock code for Acrobat X Pro.
I agree, but unfortunately Adobe doesn't. Activating this older version is no longer possible.

You need to use a custom Validation script for this. Basically, it should be similar to your Format script where you figure out what pattern is used and convert it to a Date object. Then you need to convert that object to your two thresholds (today's date and 01/01/2000). If it's not between them, reject the value by setting event.rc to false.
To compare Date objects you can use the getTime method, which converts them to a number. You then compare those numbers to know if one date falls before or after the other.

Assuming the text is "real" (not just an image), and consistent (appears in the same location or context), then yes, this should be possible using a custom-made script.
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. I've created probably hundreds of similar tools to this for various clients over the years.

It's not under all commands, but some:
Opening the file can modify it, if it contains a script, for example, or if it's corrupt and is fixed by the application. But saving it should make it safe to close without being prompted with a Save dialog.
Anyway, if using the script works for you, that's fine.

There are many PDF applications out there, but if you want to do it with Adobe software (namely, Acrobat), you will need to pay for it.

This does not look like a dialog of Acrobat. This is what a Save Changes dialog in Acrobat looks like:
Notice the application name at the top and the correct grammar (yours is badly written and doesn't offer an option to cancel the operation completely). Are you sure you're using Adobe Acrobat for this?

Not really. You can add the same comment to multiple files using an Action, but I'm assuming you want a different comment/mark for each file, so that won't work. Another option is to comment one file, then export the comments data to an external FDF file, and import that file into the other files. That will create and exact copy of the original comments in those files.

Strange... I would expect it to export, too. Maybe because it's on a layer it doesn't get included.
So yes, you can use a field, but you'll need to flatten it after adding it to convert it into "static" page contents. And then it will export for sure.

- Can PDFs be created with a defined reflow, depending on screen size/user agent?
> No. It's up to the viewer how to display the file. You can't force it one way or another.
You can add all the fields you mentioned, although the formatting of the text fields might not work on a mobile device. It also depends on the viewer used.

It's just "Preferences". It's the last item in the menu. And yes, it does exist in Reader. However, if you're on the new UI then Preferences will appear under Menu, as there isn't a menu-bar any longer.

Let's say the fields are called "Account1" and "Account2". Add the following code to the custom Calculation event of the first one:
var otherField = this.getField("Account2");
if (event.value=="") {
if (otherField.valueAsString=="") {
event.target.required = true;
otherField.required = true;
} else event.target.required = false;
} else {
otherField.required = false;
}

You can use a script for this, but you don't have to. Under Tools - Action Wizard you can create an Action with the Add Header & Footer command (and a Save command) that has the same settings as when you run it on a single file, and then run that Action on multiple files.

You can specify the settings once in your Action, and they will be applied the same for all files you process with it.

That's a bummer. I don't know of other ways to preserve this information, I'm afraid. It can't be exported, or imported, using a script. Maybe someone else has another idea for you...

You can add a link to it like you would to any other web-site, but it won't be "embedded" in the PDF.
To do that you need to drop it into the Attachments panel. Then a script can be used to open it when a button is clicked, or you could simply double-click it from that panel directly.

Rounding is actually a pretty challenging technical issue, related to the difficulty of floating point precision.
So the results of (1.5*0.35) in JS are actually 0.5249999999999999, which is why when you round it, it becomes 0.52, as it rounds down.

Keep the On Focus script, but remove the On Blur one. Instead, use this as the custom Validation script of the dropdown (I assumed the text field is called "Address", since you didn't specify its actual name):
if (event.value=="Yes") {
this.getField("Address").defaultValue = "Provide the full address";
this.getField("Address").textColor = color.ltGray;
} else this.getField("Address").defaultValue = "";

Try exporting a "static" version of the file from InDesign, without any form fields. Then open the old file in Acrobat and use the Replace Pages command to replace the underlying pages with those from the new file. This will keep all of your fields intact, and hopefully their tags, too. Then you just need to adjust them so that they match the new layout, but won't need to re-do all the tagging.

This kind of operation is called a Mail Merge. You can perform it in Acrobat using a script, such as this (paid-for) one I've developed that will do just what you described. It also allows you to select a custom name format for the merged files, email them automatically to the recipients, etc. You can find it here:
