Acrobat pro scripting guide

Anyone know if such a thing as an 'Acrobat Pro applescripting guide' exists? I'm trying to select all the text in a PDF and save to a text file or select the text of a PDF document line by line i.e.
select first line of front document
or something like that but no luck??
thanks.
pedro

You can just pass conversion option strings to the 'save as' command…
save front document to file NewFilePath using conversion "com.adobe.acrobat.plain-text"
save front document to file NewFilePath using conversion "com.adobe.acrobat.rtf"
save front document to file NewFilePath using conversion "com.adobe.acrobat.accesstext"
Where 'NewFilePath' is a variable string of the target new file…

Scripting and using Acrobat pro X

Can anyone point me in the direction of help and support specifically for a total beginer on acrobat pro X. I have worked through various help files for other versions but some things just are not clear. Perhaps it is a installation error? Creating a simple word file in either Word 2011 for mac or pages will not convert with text recognition into pdf. This is just the start of an array of issues. automatically changing the text in a text box dependant on the value of combo box etc.
please help...
A simple 3 day project is turning into a month of fustration....

Let me try again.
I have created a number of documents in Word 07, or in Pages. The documents have been saved as pdf as you described using cute pdf or print and pdf. The problem is that when I try and recognise the text in acrobat X I get a message about the font not being supported. I have tried using different fonts that do exist in Pro X, but get the same message. How can I overcome this. I want to edit the pdf after using the wizard to add the fields etc.
Secondly, when I write a simple script to display certain fields dependant on a choice in a combo box, the script fails to run, or that is how it appears. I was supported by another user who wrote the script for me, I cut and pasted this and it still did not work. However when I copied and pasted their fields into my document and renamed everything, hey presto. The settings/properties where all the same, I put both docs next to each other and checked the field properties one at a time working through each tab. I thought about using the debugger and looking at the values of key variables to see if things were changing or being accessed, but I was unable to set watches.
Hence I'm looking for a reference guide to pro X and a suitable debugger to check syntax etc because I just cannot understand what is going wrong here. I also noticed that on the debugger, the combo box for script, console sometimes is only 1/2 visible.
I have used PASCAL in years go by and an used to a set by set debug, is there something available for javascript for free?

Need help with Java Script to perform a calculation in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 form

I have a form (test) that I am creating in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
I need help creating custom Java Script so I can get the desired answer.
1) There are several questions in each group that require a numerical answer between 0-4
2) There is a total field set up to sum the answers from all above questions
3) The final "score" takes the answer from Step 2 above and divides by the total possible answer
Any help on what Java Script I need to complete this would be greatly appreciated!
I've attached a "spreadsheet" that shows it in more detail as well as what formulas I used in Excel to get the desired end result.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried the "The field is the average of:"?

Java Scripting in Adobe Acrobat Pro

Company that I work for wants to create a form using Acrobat Pro with Java Scripting that allows access to data source. Is that possible? It is only being sent out to 350 people. Would we have to purchase LiveCycle still? Would really appreciate any input. Thank you

Depends on a couple of things.
Do you have Acrobat X Pro or Acrobat XI Pro?
If you have Acrobat X Pro then you also have Adobe LC Designer and can use an XFA based form with OLEDB to connect to your data source.
If you have Acrobat XI Pro then Adobe LC Designer is no longer included and you would be creating an AcroForm. In that case then "No" an OLE database source would not be directly available. But you could use a webservice to achieve similar results with Acrobat JS if you were using a web server.

Can I create a custom-scripted dynamic stamp in Acrobat Standard or do I have to buy Acrobat Pro?

I am researching options for the company I work for to take it's invoicing system paperless and I need to know if I can create a custom-scripted dynamic stamp in Acrobat Standard or is that possible only in Acrobat Pro?

Thanks for your response. I have 2 quantities and 2 Unit price for each code, I know a simple sum in calculation it works for 1 unit price and quantity. Can you please let me know how to do it? One of the expert sent m this:
//change field names as needed

var up1 = this.getField("up1").value;

var up2 = this.getField("up2").value;
event.value = (qt1 * up1) + (qt2 * up2);
I put this in total text field (calculation tab , Custom script) , but it did not worked.
I appreciate it if anyone can help or give me suggestion.

Scripting bugs and anomalies in Acrobat Pro XI

I've downloaded the trial version of Acrobat Pro XI and starting testing it out with various scripts and actions. The results are far from good, I'm afraid.
Here are some of my findings, so far:
1. The Action Wizard is very cumbersome and un-intuitive. It took me several minutes to figure out how to change the default setting to a specific folder, and I still can't find where to select the input file types to be processed. Also, what's the relation between the "Default option" and the Add File and Add Folder buttons? Very strange UI decisions there. I don't care about panels and dividers, but I do want the actual commands to make sense*.
2. Another very bad decision is moving the Save command to a different section. What's the point of making it just another "tool" in the list? If you want to use it, you'll want to use it at the end of the process, not somewhere in the middle... And as it stands now, if you don't add it explictly, the changes are not saved at all.
3. After running an Action, some of the files remain open in the window. I was looking for a Close File command, but couldn't find any such thing. Is this a bug?
4. I'm running a script that processes some files. After finishing, the files are automatically saved and overwritten, even though I haven't added that command yet to my script. Very serious bug!
5. After running some scripts and actions, working with hidden files, I've tried to access app.activeDocs. The result was an infinite loop of this error message:
After a while I had to close down Acrobat from the Task Manager.
I must say I'm very disappointed with this release, so far, and would not recommend anyone to upgrade to it.
* Speaking of commands that don't make sense, what's the point of the Document JavaScripts command in the Action Wizard? All it does is open that window... This doesn't make sense at all in an automated action. It should have given you the option to automatically embed a piece of code in a file, not let you do it manually.

Hi there,
Your feedback is interesting as this is the very first time we receive some negative feedback about Actions in Acrobat XI.
First of all what do you mean by "what's the relation between the "Default option" and the Add File and Add Folder buttons" ?
If don't have the time to go through the help nor documentation here a brief answer:
- Default option allows the author of an action to specify the behavior and settings for the command. In the case of Add File and Add Folder it will drive user running the action about the type of location the file(s) should be retrieved from: a scanner, cloud repository, a specific folder, etc. This is a bit of improvement over Acrobat X, but not a significant change in the behavior.
I hope this is what you were questionning about.
"Another very bad decision is moving the Save command to a different section"
While this may not be convenient for you, I don't think it's enough to state that it's been a very bad decision since most users like it. It's also more flexible and more powerful. It makes it possible for instance, to save a document with a different naming convention at different points of the action which is an important improvement for some users. I am sure that after you've played with it a little bit more you will agree with that.
"After running an Action, some of the files remain open in the window"
Files that have been loaded by the Action playback should be closed, unless that have something special. Otherwise it could be a bug.
" I'm running a script that processes some files. After finishing, the files are automatically saved and overwritten"
It can only be because the JavaScript contains instructions to save the files, or the Action does. Otherwise it would be a bug and I'd be curious to know more about it as Acrobat is VERY robust about this.
Please provide the files in question I'll be happy to spend time debugging the case.
"After running some scripts and actions, working with hidden files, I've tried to access app.activeDocs. The result was an infinite loop of this error message:"
This is out of my scope and will ask around me how it's supposed to work. Hopefully we'll get an answer from the script folks quickly.
Please share files and way to reproduce the issues you meet, considering that you are the first person to provide such negative feedback there might be some misunderstanding somewhere.
Best,
Luc Leroy

[28/01/15 15:59:25] Help And Support: Can you please check for existence of file "com.adobe.PDFAdminSettings.plist" at the following locations:
1. /Library/Preferences/
2. ~/Library/Preferences/
This file might be already present on your machine if you have any other version of Acrobat installed. You need to rename this file or move it to some other location and then try installing Acrobat 11 again. Please let us know if you are able to install after following these steps.
It’s only there in /Library/Preferences
I deleted com.adobe.PDFAdminSettings.plist from /Library/Preferences/ with admin privileges
still the installation fails
Any other suggestions.
I also tried installing with an Admin account, still fails!

Permission error in opening word 7file in acrobat pro

I can create a pdf from within word 7 but can't open the file from within acrobat pro 9. When I sent the document in they said it wasn't run through distiller. When I open distiller and open the file I get a non-standard error, content flushed, no output. My word 7 documents are saved as docx - do they have to be post script?? I'm totally confused with acrobat. I've read the help files - but when I follow the instructions nothing changes. I don't have any passwords or permissions set - why does it say I don't have permission to open the file? I'm the only person using this computer and program. I bought this program specifically to "distill" my word files and can't seem to figure out how to do that.
Thanks!

I submitted an acrobat pdf from the pdfmaker in word. Was told it didn't look like it had been distilled. I think I'm pretty clear now on the extent of the pdfs and the distill is to ensure everything is print ready. I naively thought a pdf was a pdf and it took everything and"boxed" it so it printed out on the other end just like it did on my end.
Let me see if I'm following you now. I prepare a document in word 7. Print it to the adobe pdf printer. When it opens in acrobat, ctrl D gives me the information.....acrobat distiller 9.2.0, PScript 5.dll ver5.2.2. This document has been "distilled", right? As opposed to the same document made into a pdf by using the acrobat pdf maker in word. When I open it in acrobat, ctrl D gives me this information.....Acrobat pdf maker 9.1 for Word, Adobe pdf library 9.0, pdf version 1.5. This document has not been "distilled", correct?
A doc, docx or one saved as a pdf file using the adobe pdf maker cannot be opened in distiller?
In Acrobat Distiller I found a couple of help guides that look to be more informative - though complicated to understand. I had a couple of transparancies - I assume these were the images where I had erased the background and put them on a transparent background -- or the text boxes I've since learned not to use. Transparancies are addressed on page 38 - but over my head. Is there an easier explanation to be found someplace on how to preprare non-text items?
And one more if I may. Some of my images were converted using RGB, convert to BW, instead of grayscale. I see several "colors" came up. Using Preflight can I convert all these to grayscale within acrobat or should I redo every image in grayscale individually?This is an instruction manual so is image heavy.
Thanks for your patience, I really want to learn this if I can find instructions I can understand

How to round numbers using javascript in Adobe Acrobat Pro?

How to round numbers using java script in Adobe Acrobat Pro?
For example:
1.2 becomes 1.0
1.7 becomes 2.0
Thank you.

Assuming you've already set the field to a Number format category and limited it to one digit to the right of the decimal, you can use the following custom Validate script:
// Custom Validate script
event.value = Math.round(event.value);

Acrobat Pro XI fails installation on Mac Pro with Mavericks 10.9.3

I've downloaded the Acrobat Pro XI Trial installation package twice. Each time I run the installer it fails. As the installer proceeds I see the following messages:
Copying Files
Running Scripts
Validating Packages
As soon as the "Validating Packages" message appears it is replaced by a message indicating that the Installation Failed.
In the PDApp.log file I see a number of error messages like the following:
Sun Jul 27 09:29:50 2014

Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro updates for 11.0.10 being pushed out through SolarWinds Patch Manager are not being recognized as applicable.

I am trying to update our Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro to 11.0.10 using the default MSP packages with SolarWinds Patch Manager. All of the systems keep reporting as 'NOT APPLICABLE'. All of the workstations have Reader11.0.09, with about 10% still on 11.0.08 (due to the fact that the reader 11.0.09 package only patched about 2/3 of the systems). All systems that have Acrobat Pro are 11.0.09.
In SolarWinds I am using the "Adobe Systems, Inc. Packages" node.
Adobe Systems Acrobat 11 Catalog
Adobe Systems Reader 11 Catalog
and the SW Patch Manager downloads the msp's straight from Adobe.
I have checked the msp's manually and they will update at least back to 11.0.07 in Reader, and 11.0.0 in Acrobat Pro. (I had an old stand alone system that still had Reader 11.0.07, and I did a new install of Pro and went straight to update 11.0.10)
The SolarWinds Tech said, "Okay. That content is produced by Adobe. Any questions concerning applicability logic or diagnosing why a package reports as NotApplicable when that's not expected would need to be directed to Adobe, as they are solely responsible for that content and its behavior".
I am new to SolarWinds Patch Manager, and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you are attempting to use the SCUP catalogs outside of the MS solution. I can almost guarantee you that Adobe didn't test it if it's not referenced in the ETK: 11 SCCM-SCUP — Enterprise Administration Guide
That being said there "should" be logging available in any deployment solution. Since I am not familiar with Solar-Winds particular solution I can't say if it logs errors and how verbose those logs might be. If you have logs then post the output and the forum members "might" be able to assist you.

CS4 suite serial number does not work for Adobe Acrobat Pro

Hello,
I am looking for a solution for the serial number issue I am having with Adobe Acrobat Pro. All of other programs within the suite open fine, but when I open Adobe Acrobat Pro it asks for a serial number. When I type in the serial number, I am given a red "X".
I have called customer support, but they haven't been able to give me any information that will resolve my issue (uninstalled 4 times now). I have Vista and have looked online and on the Adobe website to find a solution. It looks like others are having the same issue from what I can tell while searching. I have run the script too and then reinstalled, but still nothing.

After some stupid upgrade in my computer (who knows as Microsoft is always doing something), my Acrobat 9 in CS4 stopped working. The error message said to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat. So I went through the control panel and uninstalled it. I then loaded the CD and reinstalled. However the reinstall would NOT accept the orginal serial number. I called Adobe and they gave me a different serial number. Before I let the guy nof the line I tried the number and it did NOT work! So then he gave me another number which asked for the previous verison- apparently it was an upgrade number. Luckily I had my old CS3 software and I gave it that number and then it accepted the install. The program now works BUT there is no longer any ADD/REMOVE choice in the CS4 suite in the control panel. There is no way to automatically remove this program anymore! What a mess.
After reading some of the installation problems others have had and no solutions, I count myself lucky! At least I was able to get the program running.
Therefore my advise on the serial number problem is to get Adobe on the phonen and get them to give you a number that will work, and don't hang up until you know the program is working!
If anyone knows how to add the Acrobat to the the add/remove functions in the control panel, please let me know!

Trying to install Acrobat Pro XI on Windows 2008R2 VM

Our desktop guys ordered Acrobat Pro XI for some 32-bit Windows 7 VM's.
We also have some server applications running 64-bit Windows 2008R2 that need it and I'm attempting to create a silent install for. I used the customization wizard provided by Adobe and when I attempt to run the command line msi installation, my 64-bit Windows 2008R2 VM blue screens and reboots.
After I bring the VM back up and attempt to run Acrobat, I get the error message "Please uninstall and reinstall the product .. . . Error 1". Not real informative, so not sure where to go from here.
The desktop guys sent me the media and gave me a license key.
Question 1: Do I need a 64-bit version of Acrobat Pro?
Question 2: Will a desktop license suffice on a server?
Question 3: I have 7 servers that require this installation, do I need a different key for each?
Question 4: Do I really need to license each one via the internet?
Please help!!
Thanks
Mike

You actually need more answers than you asking for. . . . That is to say you should start with the Admin Guide: Acrobat-Reader Enterprise Toolkit Home.
You probably need a volume license. Read up on the server doc, look up the right EULA for virtualized environments, and read the section on granting offline exceptions/serialization/installation. Check out the Wizard Guide as well.
Error 1 doesn't sound like an Acrobat error, but it could be. Make sure you have a clean uninstall before retrying. There's a cleaner tool on LABs.
32 Bit is ok.

Setting trim box bug in Acrobat Pro 7 & 8 - try it...

I have filed this bug a few times with Adobe over the past months but there doesn't seem to be any movement. I'd download the trial of Acrobat 9 Pro to check but alas us Mac users are not deemed worthy of that.
I implore anyone who can to try out the following:
- Open up an existing PDF or create a new, blank one. Zoom out to a point where you get a good amount of "no-man's land" gray around your document.
- Go to Document->Crop Pages... and pick "trim box" from the drop down menu.
Now start moving the right-hand constraint of the trim box using the "up" arrow widget and see what happens in the main document window. For me and the users that I support, the guide that represents the right-hand trim box constraint will start coming in from the right-most side of the document window, that is, inside the gray out-of-bounds area. In addition to the guide being in the wrong place it also doesn't get redrawn every time the right-hand margin is moved by the standard .125" step by clicking the "up" or "down" widget. As a result there will be a whole mess of black vertical guides left on the screen, obscuring the actual position of the guide regardless of whether or not it is placed on the screen in accordance to the right-hand trim box constraint setting. Similarly, the main document can be zoomed in to fit to window but the guide will still be drawn incorrectly and exhibit the same "ghosting".
All of this has remained the same between versions 8.0 and 8.1.2 of Acrobat Pro and in one of my discussions with an Adobe tech rep who was testing it on his side I was told it also exists in Acrobat Pro 7. It is an issue because the small preview window in the Crop Pages window is not very useful when working with large document dimensions that need precise trimming adjustments beyond a standard eight or quarter inch all around.
Hopefully someone else can confirm this issue while I try to find out whether Acrobat 9 still exhibits the same behavior.
Thanks.

This has been a problem since version 8 on the mac. Acrobat 7 on the mac worked fine with the right side trim but not on the PC.
We are still having this problem with Acrobat 9.4.0 on the Mac & PC.
This has now been an issue for 2 versions of Acrobat Pro.(8 & 9)
Being in Pre Press and having to constantly set the trim for jobs, this is now taking up too much time and costing money.
Please fix this Adobe.
and on another note. how hard would it be to display the trim (if set) next to where the page size is?
If the trim is set it should display it! why should we have to go to document/crop pages>trim.
Im in a busy Pre Press Dept and the amount of times you have to check a trim size is stupid.
I always set prefs to display crop / trim / and bleed boxes and this helps but it should display it if its set.
Thanks
Hope this is resolved soon.
