Use javascript to create a display pattern

I have a text field that is subject to parameters regarding display (color, font, posture) in the initialize, enter, and exit event for the field. With this script, using the display patterns on the object palette apparently will not work because of the code. Seems like the logical solution would be to add a pattern definition in the exit event. However, I do not know the syntax for this. I am looking to apply a US currency pattern such as num{($z,zzz,zz9.99)} to the field. I have tried things like this.font.pattern = num{($z,zzz,zz9.99)}; but that does not seem to work.
Can anyone suggest the right code?

I used your suggestion as follows:
this.format.picture.value = "num{($z,zzz,zz9.99)}";
in the enter event and it worked like a charm.
Thanks.

Using JavaScript to create reports listing security settings

Hi...I'm trying to create an Acrobat 8 batch process using a JavaScript that creates a log/report that lists the security settings for each PDF in a directory. I want to be able to periodically run this script so that I can ensure that (a)each file uses the departmental permissions password and (b) that the set of permissions (copying not allowed etc.) are set according to our standard.
I've looked at the JavaScript reference etc. but am seriously confused. There's a securityhandler object but how can I use that (or something else) to get a list of the doc's security permissions and to check that password x has been used?
Many thanks.

Using Javascript to create concatenated string from checkbox fields to one text field

Hi. I have a PDF form that I am trying to have output to a spreadsheet that matches my database schema. Here is the dilemna:
* I have a set of checkboxes for available languages (LANGUAGE_ENGLISH, LANGUAGE_SPANISH, etc.) When they export to spreadsheet, the value is TRUE.
* I need to take values from checked boxes and create a single string in a text field called LANGUAGE_DISPLAY (so my UI will not need to do the concatenation). If LANGUAGE_ENGLISH is TRUE (checked), append "English, " to LANGUAGE_DISPLAY, else append "". Then, if LANGUAGE_SPANISH is TRUE (checked), append "Spanish, " to LANGUAGE_DISPLAY, else append "". And on and on
In the LANGUAGE_DISPLAY text field properties, I am inserting a Custom Calculation script to try to achieve this, but am not getting any results. I tried teh following even trying to pull the checkboxes default values and string them together:
box1 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH").value.toSrting();
box2 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_FARSI").value.toSrting();
box3 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_MANDARIN").value.toSrting();
event.value = box1 + ', ' + box2 + ', ' + box3;
I also played with this to get the desired strings output...but to no avail:
if ( LANGUAGE_ENGLISH.rawValue == true )
box1.rawValue = "English, ";
if ( LANGUAGE_FARSI.rawValue == true )
box1.rawValue = "Farsi, ";
if ( LANGUAGE_HEBREW.rawValue == true )
box1.rawValue = "Hebrew, ";
event.value = box1 + box2 + box3;
Then I tried to simplify to see one field output so used this script...still no results:
event.value = "";
var f = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH");
if ( f.isBoxChecked() == true) {
event.value = "English";
Couple questions:
1) Am I on the right track with any of these scripts?
2) Is there something else I need to do to get the script to run before running the Create Spreadsheet with Data Files comman in Acrobat to get my csv file output? Maybe there needs to be some event to get the checkbox values read by that field in order to calculate/create the string.
Appreciate any help you can provide.

LiveCycle Designer has shipped with all Acrobat Professional versions since the "Professional" version was introduced with version 6.
You do not let us know want results you get in the field or the JavaScript console.
Using:
box1 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH").value.toString();
box2 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_FARSI").value.toString();
box3 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_MANDARIN").value.toString();
event.value = box1 + ', ' + box2 + ', ' + box3;
returns "Off, Off, Off", when no box is checked and returns "Yes" for the appropriate box being checked when the default value is used for the creation of the check box. So if one would make the 'Export Value' of the box from the default value of 'Yes" to the appropriate language, one would get a more desirable result. But for each unchecked box the value would appear as "Off". So one needs to change the 'Off' value to a null string. But one is still left with the separator when there is an unchecked option.
Using the following document level function:
// Concatenate 3 strings with separators where needed
function fillin(s1, s2, s3, sep) {
Purpose: concatenate up to 3 strings with an optional separator
inputs:
s1: required input string text or empty string
s2: required input string text or empty string
s3: required input string text or empty string
sep: optional separator sting
returns:
sResult concatenated string
// variable to determine how to concatenate the strings
var test = 0; // all strings null
var sResult; // re slut string to return
// force any number string to a character string for input variables
s1 = s1.toString();
s2 = s2.toString();
s3 = s3.toString();
if(sep.toString() == undefined) sep = ''; // if sep is undefined force to null
assign a binary value for each string present
so the computed value of the strings will indicate which strings are present
when converted to a binary value
if (s1 != "") test += 1; // string 1 present add binary value: 001
if (s2 != "") test += 2; // string 2 present add binary value: 010
if (s3 != "") test += 4; // string 3 present add binary value: 100
/* return appropriate string combination based on
calculated test value as a binary value
switch (test.toString(2)) {
case "0": // no non-empty strings passed - binary 0
sResult = "";
break;
case "1": // only string 1 present - binary 1
sResult = s1;
break;
case "10": // only string 2 present - binary 10
sResult = s2;
break;
case "11": // string 1 and 2 present - binary 10 + 1
sResult = s1 + sep + s2;
break;
case "100": // only string 3 present - binary 100
sResult = s3;
break;
case "101": // string 1 and 3 - binary 100 + 001
sResult = s1 + sep + s3;
break;
case "110": // string 2 and 3 - binary 100 + 010
sResult = s2 + sep + s3;
break;
case "111": // all 3 strings - binary 100 + 010 + 001
sResult = s1 + sep + s2 + sep + s3;
break;
default: // any missed combinations
sResult = "";
break;
return sResult;
And the following cleaned up custom calculation script:
box1 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH").value;
box2 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_FARSI").value;
box3 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_MANDARIN").value;
if (box1 == 'Off') box1 = '';
if (box2 == 'Off') box2 = '';
if (box3 == 'Off') box3 = '';
event.value = fillin(box1, box2, box3, ', ');
One will get the list of languages with the optional separator for 2 or more language selections.

Using Javascript and ScriptUI to create a form that brings in a symbol from library

Hello everyone,
I've been trying to pull together the right info to use javascript to create a form to bring in particularsymbols from the symbol library based on the variables taken from the form. I've taken bits and pieces from various sample scripts and tried to make this work, but my problem appears when I try to use conditionals.
This is a limited version of what I want to do, but it is enough to get the point across.
1. I want to select a script that has various dropdown boxes. I would like the first dropdown to give me 3 options: 10, 13, 18
2. I would also like another drop down box that gives me three more options: single needle, double needle, and knife edge.
3. I would then like it to have an "ok" button and "Cancel" button.
4. From here when I click the ok button, a symbol is brought in from the library depending on what parameters were given to the form.
ex. If I selected 10 in the first drop down and double needle in the second, I would like "SYMBOL A" to be pulled from the library and centered on the artboard.
ex. If I selected 13 in the first drop down and double needle in the second, I would like "SYMBOL B" to be pulled from the library and centered on the artboard.
I've gotten the UI to pop up and it works as planned as well as bringing in a symbol, my problem comes when I try to incorporate conditionals and functions.
Here is my script. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var Pallette = new Window ("dialog", "Create a Shell");
Pallette.add ("statictext", undefined, "Fill Opening in Inches:");
Pallette.orientation = "row";
var myDropdown = Pallette.add ("dropdownlist", undefined, ["10", "13", "18"]);
myDropdown.selection = 1;
var myButtonGroup = Pallette.add ("group");
myButtonGroup.orientation = "column";
var btnCreate = myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "OK");
MyFillSelection = myDropdown.selection
btnCreate.onClick = function () {
    if ( MyFillSelection = "13") {
               symbolRef = myDoc.symbols["SYMBOL A"];
        symbolItemRef1 = myDoc.symbolItems.add(symbolRef);
       redraw();
var btnCancel = myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel");
Pallette.show ();
If anyone has any input, it would be much appreciated.
thanks,

MyFillSelection = myDropdown.selection is outside the function, so it will always read "13", nothing is making the value change.
move that line into your function and add the text property to it...MyFillSelection = myDropdown.selection.text;
then do your if comparisons, that will do it.

Using javascript to change styles and such

I want ot use javascript to change the "display" style of a
div tag
whatDiv.style.display = "block"
This works fine if the div tag has an inline style defined:
<div style="display:none"> ...</div>
But if the tag has a class attached to it and the display
:none is attached
to that class, then it doesn't work
<style...>
div.hidden{ display:none; }
</style>
<div class="hidden"> ... </div>
... how can I remedy this?

Nope. That's not what I'm saying. Regardless of whether
you're using a
class or not, if you get an object reference using an ID, you
can change
the properties. Consider this example:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"

<html lang="en">

text-align: center;

width: 500px;
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
var bg="#009";
function changeColor(x){
o=document.getElementById(x);
bg=(bg=="#009"?"#900":"#009");

Is it possible to use JavaScript to search a directory of PDF files?

A company I am interning for is looking for a solution. They want to allow users to search within their PDF user manuals by typing a string into a search field and returning the PDF document link or page link. Is this possible? How would I accomplish this? I have only been programming for 1 year.
Can adobe reader use javascript to create a link that we attach the directory to? If not how or what would you do?
Thank you.

Ideally, I would like a link to Adobe Reader or Acrobat that only allows users to "Search Our Manuals for Help". The user types in "Commission Invoice Inquiry" and in return gets links etc. to the PDF's in our directory of files containing that inquiry or "string".
User scenario: User gets new software from company but needs to look in manual on how to get "commision invoice inquiry". So user goes onto my company's website and finds this said application I am looking for and types in "commission invoice inquiry" and hits enter. The application then searches through the company's directory of PDF files (manuals) for "commission invoice inquiry" and returns any page links within the PDF that have that "commission invoice inquiry" on them. It can open inside of Adobe Reader or Acrobat or whichever. The company is even willing to pay for said "plugin" or application.

How to create new subsite while adding new item to the list by using javascript?

hi,
I hav a task ie, when I add item to the list then subsite will create with that list item title and description . So By using javascript, I have to create subsite while adding new item to the list.
Help me to solve this.
Thank you,

Is your item getting added through Javascript client object model ? If yes, you can write in the success delegate of your list creation method the logic to create the subsite.
function CreateListItem()
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('List Name');
var itemCreateInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();
this.oListItem = oList.addItem(itemCreateInfo);
oListItem.set_item('Title', 'My New Item!');
oListItem.set_item('Body', 'Hello World!');
oListItem.update();
clientContext.load(oListItem);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.CreateListItemOnSuccess), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
function CreateListItemOnSuccess() {
var subsiteTitle = oListItem.get_item('Title');
//Logic to create a subsite
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
I have added a sample flow for the above scenario. Have a look at the following lnk for how you can craete a subsite using ecmascript.

Create link using javascript or other relevant automated process

i have multiple PDF which i have combined using Acrobat pro... the table of content for this pdf does not have link as i had generated it in Word using RD fields. Now, my main concern is it possible to create links using Javascript or any other process.. i am aware of link tool however my document is very huge and the TOC comprises of around 25 pages.. it will be very cumbersome to manually add for each topic and will be difficult to maintain as we keep updating the document content..i would really appreciate if any one could help me in this as i really stuck up in middle of project...

thanks a ton for your prompt response..As i had mentioned earlier, i have around 13 sub documents. i have generated a table of contents for these document using RD fields in a seperate document and saved it as TOC.doc. As these are fields are referring to topic outside the current document, the links are not availabled in word.. i am not aware of any possible method in word to retrieve links for these topics just like how a standard TOC in word works. as i saw it PRO, there is an option to create link, i was wondering if there is any way i could automatically link these topics as in PDF, the topics are in the same document where as in WORD these are different documents.If you could suggest some work around, i would be glad

Otto,
We have forms created with bindings as well as document (word document) are being (merged)/populated dynamically.
After it has been compiled I need to do a search for "string" and where the first "string" is matched I need to add a bookmark to that particular page. Bookmarks are used widely in Acrobat and there is a JavaScript to create bookmark available but the code for Adobe LC/ SAP Adobe Form is different. So I need help if someone knows how I go about do this.
