Acrobat 8 Professional - Drop Down Calendar

Is there a way to add a drop down calendar in Acrobat 8 Professional that will export the data in MM:DD:YYYY format?
I can add a form in LiveCycle Designer that is a drop down calendar but I can not seem to find this option in Acrobat.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Is there any way to add a drop down menu to select a date from a calendar in Acrobat without completely destroying the forms created in Acrobat? Plugins? LiveCycle?

Drop down calendars inside sub form fields.

Good afternoon. My company recently purchased a license for Acrobat 9 Pro and it came with LiveCycle. So, I am trying to use it to create a form in which I need the date to be a drop down calendar. However, I have a huge subform field covering my pages so that I may place my fields where I want to in an easier fashion. But, when I use the date/time field inside the subform, the pop up calendar doesn't work,nor can I enter it manually. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Plz help!

Acrobat Professional shuts down

User is experiencing problem with new Acrobat Professional 9.1 version.
Error "has encountered a problem and needs to close" Please see attached screen shot
This is a recurring problem. This happens when the user copies text from commentary from one document to another document. But it also happens from other actions. Re-installing also did not help.
Any inputs will be very helpful. Thanks,

I am also having the same problem. I also have a problem that has been on going for over a year. I keep getting a pop up " Invalid Annotation Object" and cannot get rid of it. Others have had the same problem as I said for over a year.
Has Adobe made any patches for resolve the problem. I am using Acrobat 9 Pro Extented. XP Pro and have 4gigs Ram.
If Adobe has not fixed the problem is there another way to fix it. Others have uninstalled and re-installed the program without results.
Thanks Rocky

How to insert date picker from drop down calendar in forms

I want to insert a calendar to select the date from in the 'Date of Training' column in my forms instead of manually typing in the date each time - how do I do this please?

There's no built-in calendar component in Acrobat forms. There are some third-party ones, though. The main ones are a free one that uses fields by FormRouter and a paid tool which uses a dialog object, developed by Max Wyss.

Drop down Calendar

Hi I wanted a dropdown calendar for date fields in acrobat standard XI, any suggestions would be greatly appeciated.

There is no built-in calendar or date picker. Some use the one provided by FormRouter: http://www.formrouter.com/tools/
and another uses a JavaScript-based custom dialog, but it's not free and I don't have a link to give you, but you can try contacting Max Wyss who is a frequent contributor at http://answers.acrobatusers.com

No Drop down Calendar Window when entering a date for a new event.

Hi
Hope someone can help with this annoying problem.
In ICal when entering the date for a New Event a little window would pop up showing the month that you were creating the event in, you could then click on the date you required in the calender and it would then update the 'From' date field in your event. You could then do the same for the 'To' date field this was all very neat and fast, you could create event verys easily.
However since upgrading to Snow Leopard this has stopped working and I can't see why.
Does somone have answer ?
Currently this works OK when using ICAL in MobileMe.
Before I updated my iMAC to Snow Leopard recently but it seems that
NOw when am s

Have you figured out a solution to this? I am frustrated as well by lack of this feature.

Drop down month calendar for iCal

One thing that annoys me when entering new iCal events is I have to always to type dd/mm/yyyy and can't use a dropdown calendar in Outlook?
Ofcourse moving the events by just dragging and dropping is cool, but still there are at times I feel a drop down is faster.
Is there a plugin or something to get a calendar popup?

Ferd,
Yes this is fine. What I am looking for is, say I clicked for an appointment for this Wednesday (normally my cal will be in week setting) and when I enter the information, I decide I want to move this event to next Wednesday.
So I have a drop down calendar, I don't have to calculate what the day is for next wednesday or have to switch my week view momentarily to month view to drag it.
Just to enhance user experience!!

Acrobat 8 Professional 8.1.2 crashes When selecting "Rotate Pages" from the "Document" drop down men

When selecting "Rotate Pages" from the "Document" drop down menu Acrobat 8 Professional 8.1.2 crashes. Every time, no error mesage. Have run "Repair Acrobat Installation" with no success. Any suggestions? Thanks

I am also experiencing the same problem only recently. I have used the program for almost a year without any problems except now. Adobe Acrobat 8 standard, ver 8.1.5.
Whenever I insert pages or rotate, I get an immediate shut down window, “Adobe Acrobat 8.1 ahs encountered a problem and needs to close.
I am no longer able to use this program. Abobe Acrobat 5.0 still works fine. Does anyone have a solution? I already did a repair and reloaded the program.

I have a new computer with Windows 7 professional, Office 2007, Adobe XI. I have just created a word document and tried save it as a PDF but the PDF option doesn't appear in the drop down menu. Any ideas please? Thank you.

What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed.

Acrobat 9 pro designer -- how to populate drop down list

I down loaded the acrobat 9 professional trial version and have been trying to see how I can create a drop down list where I can input 500 names. I created the drop down list but the problem is the following. To enter the names in the drop down list I have to type each one and hit enter then enter in the next. I have about 500 names to enter and doing one at at time is not efficient. I tried to copy all the names and paste it into the drop down list but it will only paste the first name.
Does anyone know how I can enter 500 names all at once into a drop down list box?
I need a simple solution that can be made without some complicated code.
please email me [email protected]
thanks
Will

thanks you for the response. I am not tech savy when it comes to javascript or form calc any chance you can give more details

Acrobat 8.1.2 Stops Working When Opening a Drop-Down Dialog Box

Whenever I try to open a drop-down dialog box in Acrobat the application stops working and Vista requests that the application be closed and that I will be notified of a solution when one is available. I've experienced the problem for six months. I must now solve this problem.
I've already tried repairing the Acrobat installation without any improvement. What should I do next?

Thanks, seems to solve some of the problem, perhaps I need to uncheck more in this dialogue box... May be 'a' correct answer but not the complete solution. Anyway if all I need to do is uncheck a choice in a dialogue box then it must be a bug or driver incompatability as there seems to be no reason why I shouldn't be able to use 2D graphics acceleration.
Works if you highlight several PDFs in File Manager and then right click and 'Open with Adobe Acrobat', the error still occurs if I drag these files into an open instance of Acrobat beyond two files. Also seems to be more of a problem if one of the files is a 'colour document ' or 'greyscale document' scanned by Acrobat itself.

Why Adobe Acrobat XI Pro is not in the drop down menu?

I tried to activate Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (Windows) in a Windows 7 Virtual Machine in Parallels in my MacBook Pro, but it isn't available in the drop down menu that is shown to activate the product. My serial number is correct. What can I do?
I installed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro in Boot Camp within the same computer, but I couldn't used it any more as I had a major failure with Windows 7 in such partition. Therefore, I couldn' deactivated it before reinstalling it in the Parallels virtual machine. In any case, there shouldn't be a problem with the License as the new installation is the second one, and I can't used the first installation anyway.
Thanks.

It makes perfect sense. Thanks.
It's not part of a Suite, but thanks for your comment.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
I downloaded & reinstalled my previous versions of Acrobat and the problem was solved. Thanks again.

How do you Make an Interactive Drop Down Menu in Adobe Acrobat Pro That Uses Hyperlinks?

Hi first off let me point out and apologise in advance for my ignorance and possibly my misuse of the correct terms, I'm new to this.
Anyway here goes, my best attempt to try and explain myself. Using Adobe Acrobat Pro I am trying to create a drop down menu that lists a set of documents. Once you click an item in the drop down menu it then opens up the corresponding document. So far example the Menu reads "Documents" and below it there is three options "Dogs" "Cats" "Hotdogs" when you click on "Hotdogs" you open up the document for hotdogs etc.
I have actually done it once before using Javascript and a combo box and I think basically you buried the links to documents in a series of bookmarks, the Javascript code then was basically a shortcut to activate those bookmarks.
So in short, could someone please tell me the code I would need to make this happen? I have looked extensively for the right forum post to see if my question has already been covered but I couldn't find anything and I possibly could have been using the wrong search terms.
Please ask me to clarify anything to help you understand what it is I'm asking.
Thank you in advance for all your help.
Elliot.

Hey I think I found a solution to my own problem I made an "OK Button" right click>properties>actions>select action>run a javascript>add - and executed this code:
function searchBookmarks(bkm, nLevel, bkmName)
if ( bkm.name == bkmName ) return bkm;
if (bkm.children != null) {
for (var i = 0; i < bkm.children.length; i++)
var bkMark = searchBookmarks(
bkm.children[i], nLevel + 1, bkmName);
if ( bkMark != null ) break;
return bkMark;
return null;
function bookmarksAsPopUp(bookmarks)
   if(bookmarks && bookmarks.children)
     for(var i=0;i<bookmarks.children.length;i++)
bookmarkName = bookmarks.children[i].name.replace(/\s{2,}/g,' ');
while (bookmarkName.indexOf(String.fromCharCode(11)) > 0)
bookmarkName = bookmarkName.substring(0,bookmarkName.indexOf(String.fromCharCode(11))) +" "+ bookmarkName.substring(bookmarkName.indexOf(String.fromCharCode(11))+1)
popUp = popUp+"{cName: '"+bookmarkName+"', cReturn: '"+bookmarkName+"'" ;
if(bookmarks.children[i].children)
          popUp = popUp + ", oSubMenu: [";
   bookmarksAsPopUp(bookmarks.children[i]);
   popUp = popUp + "]";
popUp = popUp+"}";
if (i != bookmarks.children.length-1)
popUp = popUp+", "
   return popUp;
var popUp = "";
bookmarksAsPopUp(this.bookmarkRoot);
var cChoice = eval("app.popUpMenuEx(" + popUp + ")" ) ;
bkm = searchBookmarks(this.bookmarkRoot, 0, cChoice );
if ( bkm != null ) bkm.execute();
Then you can just add your own bookmarks and they populate the pop-up menu automatically (including the hierarchy sub menu structure, you nest bookmarks within a main book mark.) which is a more efficient way than the one I used before.
I take no credit for this by the way my source is here PDF Bookmarks as a PopUp Menu | The Practical:PDF Blog
I hope this helps anybody looking to do the same.

Acrobat X Pro Drop-down Fields Do Not Appear on Adobe Reader for iPad. Help!

Hello,
I am having a problem getting drop-down fields to appear on Adobe Reader for iPad. Basically, I need to create a form that includes drop-down fields, with the end result being a form that can be viewed and completed on an iPad, using the Adobe Reader app. Above all else, the end result needs to be viewable on an iPad.
I created a form using Acrobat X Pro within which drop-down fields work flawlessly. However, when I try to open this form on an iPad, the drop-down fields do not even appear. I have done some investigating on the Web (including these forums) and come to understand that this has to do with javascript limitations on Apple products, but have yet to discover a solution to my problem.
To summarize: does anyone know how to make drop-down fields appear in Abobe Reader for iPad app? Or, does anyone know a workaround in which I could have a drop-down menu (or something similar) in my form and have it work on Adobe Reader for iPad?
Thanks in advance for the help. I took on this project from my boss' boss, so I'd really like to get this done for him.

Hello GKaiseril,
Thanks for the reply. I experienced the issue running the most recent version of the Adobe Mobile Reader app. I'm not sure I can convince the client to use anything else, but its worth a shot.
All I need is a simple drop-down list (multiple fields in the document) with 4 options that the user can select and submit as a form. Is this something EZ Pdf reader can do? Also, is EZ Pdf Reader free? (the reason I ask is I am an Android user and do not readily have access to a iPad).
Thanks again.
