Adobe Acrobat X Scripting

I have found tutorials all over about writing script for dropdown population.  I KINDA, (not) understand but, WHERE DO YOU ACTUALLY WRITE AND SAVE THE SCRIPT?
Word 2011 uses VBA, you write the script in a module, you save it in that module.  I do not understand how to do this in acrobat X.
I have read about using an external javascript editor, but no mention as to what editors.
I understand VBA, to a point, but not Java
Can I get someone to come to my level and help me through this?

yep, printed 'em both out and trying like heck to understand it.
He talks about making a master list, but, I don't understand the master list.  (I know, i know)he uses oAssemblyParts to start, but I see nothing on the AcroForm with the name of AssemblyParts.  I am wondering if that is the title of the subroutine?
Then He has just Chasis:  [
I don't understand the bracket after Chasis.  I get why when starting to 'list' the Parts.  but how do you know which dd box he is referring to?  he has one dd named AssemblySelect and the other PartSelect but in his Master list nothing is mentioned.
I was hopping someone would do a bit for me so I can try to nderstand it.
and then on page 2 of 5 I see where he has a function setPartEntries
But again, not understanding the language.  What is {?  Is that start the function and then at the end } does that end a function?
sentences that start with // is that an explanation of what is happening? or going to happen?
I went to the property boxes to look at the Actions; format; validate; calculate to see what was inserted to figure out the language, but nothing is there.
LOL!  I need to accomplish this.  It worked so well in the word doc, I want it to work in the PDF form also.  (sigh)

  • 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:"?

    “All scripts are executed in response to a particular event. There are several types of events.” (Adobe, 2006, p. 40). You may want to execute your script as a console event. In this case, use the JavaScript Debugger console (Adobe, 2006, p. 21). For more information, read the manual Acrobat has provided online: Developing Acrobat Applications (Adobe, 2006).

  • Java Script Adobe Acrobat 5.0

    O Adobe Acrobat 5.0 suporta java Script?
    O que eu posso fazer com o java Script dentro do Acrobat?
    Daniel
    [email protected]

    Acrobat 5 has been obsolete for more than 10 years! It sounds as if this was an upgrade looking for an even older version.
    Let's forget that and look at the problem with Adobe Reader. What is the problem there?

  • Java script created in Adobe Acrobat not working in Reader

    Hello,
    This is my first post, so I hope I chose the correct path for it
    Let's get to the point:
    I created a java script in Adobe Acrobat according to your tutorial page:
    search.matchCase = false;
    search.wordMatching = "BooleanQuery";
    search.bookmarks = false;
    search.query("Mytxt","Folder","../My directory");
    which I found to be working as a let's call it a relative link, beacuse, after copying my file into another folder it would still work. But when I opened the same file in Adobe Reader I got a Console message:
    Acrobat EScript Built-in Functions Version 10.0
    Acrobat SOAP 10.0
    GeneralError: Operation failed.
    Search.query:4:Link undefined:Mouse Up
    Folder does not exist
    As I mentioned before the same file does return the results of the search.query in this folder in Acrobat. Any ideas? Suggestions? What might be the problem?

    Thanks to your suggestion I started digging into the directories, so here's what's funny:
    Title Page - main folder
    Page 1 - sub folder
    Searched PDFs - sub sub folder
    I open the Title Page, then using a bookmark I open a new file in the same window: Page 1. There i have site links that allow me to perform search.query()
    And now to the funny part:
    In Acrobat:
    If I open the "Title Page" and from there go to Page 1 my directory has to be:
    ../Main Folder/Sub Folder/Sub Sub Folder
    to perform the required search
    However If I open the "Page 1" manually my directory for the same java script has to be:
    ../Sub Folder/Sub Sub Folder
    otherwise I get an error.
    Anyway
    Both don't seem to work in Reader....

  • Script needed to translate 3D PDFs in Adobe Acrobat 3D v8

    OS: Windows XP
    I am trying to automate via command line the translation of 3D Catia CAD models (CATPart, CATProduct) to 3D PDFs. I would like to run this script so it translates each Catia file in a selected folder to a 3D PDF.
    There are 2 ways to do this via GUI access. However, I am having difficulty determining how to emulate either way via API calls.
    1. Execute the Print command, which is accessed in Adobe Acrobat 3D v8 via the Advanced | Document Processing | Batch Processing |Batch Sequence | Print command.
    2. In windows file explorer, select the CAD filename to be translated, click the right mouse button, and select "Convert to Adobe PDF".
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

  • Using Java Script in Adobe Acrobat

    I am attempting to create input forms using Adobe Acrobat. I've got the form created, and most of the functionality works. The only issue I'm having is that my end users need to be able to fill out the form, click the Submit button, and the form data needs to be sent to an e-mail address for processing. I don't need the form to be saved and sent as a PDF attachment, I just need the form data to be submitted as the BODY of an e-mail. I was told I needed to write a Java Script for this, but I don't know the first thing about that. Can anyone help me out with a Javascript they already use? I've got a week to make these forms work.

    Most web hosting services will have a mailform type script installed and available for use. If you're running your own web server, such scripts are freely available. The form just needs to be configured correctly to work with the server script. When the form is submitted to the web server, the server-side mailform script reads the incoming data and generates an email that includes the name/value pairs in the body of the email. There are literally thousands of such scripts available, to you'd have to refer to their documentation for information on setting up the form to submit to the script you want to use.
    No scripting is necessary in the form in order to submit to the web server, thought the submitForm method can be used and offers a bit more flexibility. For example, you can use a script to check the form for completeness/correctness before submitting and abort if something is wrong.
    A major advantage of submitting to a web server is it is generally far more reliable than the alternative of relying on the user's system to send the email. It can also be secured relatively easily with HTTPS/SSL, though that just covers the form submission and not when the server sends the email.

  • Working with percentages in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    So, I have a quick question. I am new to working with forms in acrobat, and am having a hard time figuring this part out. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it!
    So I have a form that I've created in acrobat 9 pro. Below I have listed "individual 1:" and then "percentage allocation". The "percentage alloctions" are the different form fields for the percentages I've created. For each form field, I limited the values to not exceed 100%. I want individuals filling in this form to be able to fill in the percentages by each of the names without the TOTAL percentage value (of all three together) going over 100%. But...the trick is, I don't have a separate "Total" form field, there's no room for one. So is there a way to make it so the total of the three equals 100% without having a "total" form field?
    individaul 1:  percentage allocation
    Individual 2: percentage allocation1
    Individual 3: percentage allocation2
    Please let me know if this makes sense,

    Try67,
    Thank you for sending me that reference guide, that will help. This is extremely frustrating for me. Thank you for the field visible or hidden script...I did end up finding those yesterday, just didn't know how to incorporate them to become visible if the total number is less than 100.
    I ended up creating another text field right next to the total, and called it "statement". I marked this field as "hidden" through the general properties option in the adobe acrobat dialog box. And , I set up default text to read, "Total value must not be less than 100%". All of this, I did through the properties dialog box.
    Individual 1: 30
    Individual 2: 20
    Individual 3: 10
    Total:  60%             "statement" text field is here.
    I figured what I could do is add another "if statement" to the validation script I put in for the "Total" text field I already had (below)..don't know if that was a stupid thing to do or not, but didn't know how else to do it. And where it says getField, I added the "statement" text field (the one that is hidden), thinking it would just get that field, but it's not working, what did I do wrong?
    var total = Number(getField("individual1").value) + Number(getField("individual2").value) + Number(getField("individual3").value);
    if (total>100) {
        app.alert("The total of the beneficiary fields must equal 100%");
        event.rc = false;
    if (total<100) {
    this.getField("statement").display = display.visible;

  • 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);

  • 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!

  • Create a dynamic dropdown field in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

    Hello all. I am trying to create a field in one of my forms using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I have a dropdown list of "main" items, and based on what is selected in that list, I want a second dropdown list to give different choices. I have searched and searched and have javascript that I thought might work, but maybe I am have a mistake or I am placing the javascript in the wrong place, becasue it is not working. I know very, very little about javascript, so any help would be so much appreciated.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I added a "new field", and selected "dropdown". The field name is ProvType. The dropdown options are:
         Inpatient
         Outpatient
         Physician
    I have the "Commit selected value immediately" selected.The field is not validated. The format is "none." There are no actions or calculations associated with it.
    I then created another dropbox, and named it SubProvType. Under Actions, I selected the trigger as Mouse Up, and then selected the Action "Run a JavaScript." I selected the add button, and typed this in the JavaScript editor:
    switch (ProvType.rawValue)
        case "Inpatient":
            this.setItems("Hospice,Hospital,Nursing Facility");
            break;
        case "Outpatient":
            this.setItems("Adult Day Center,Home,Other");
            break;    
        case "Physician":
            this.setItems("Surgeon,Family Practice,Neurologist");
            break;    
    What I want to happen is:
    If "Inpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
         Hospice
         Hospital
         Nursing Facility
    If "Outpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
         Adult Day Center
         Home
         Other
    If "Physician" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
         Surgeon
         Family Practice
         Neurologist
    However.... when I close the form editing and try to select a different option in the ProvType field, the SubProvType field remains blank and there are no options available. There are also no errors.
    I must be missing something, but I have no idea where to start. Thank you in advance for any help anyone can provide.

    dbettis2.... Please understand that everything I am about to tell you is ONLY thanks to the help I received from Gilad D. I don't know if this will help you or not, but I want to try and pass it forward.
    If what you are looking to do is have two dropdown fields, and the second one (concentration) be a list determined by what was chosen in the first one (newMajor) then this will work, if you are using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    Create a dropdown field and name it newMajor. In the "options" tab. Make sure that you enter all of the items that you want in that list AND that they match the javascript (or this will not work.)
    In this case, I believe you want the initial list to be:
    - Select One -
    BA - Communication (BACOMM)
    BA - History (BAHIST)
    BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)
    After you create the dropdown field and enter all of the options, go to the Validate tab, chose "run custom validation script", then copy and paste the following:
    switch (event.value) {
        case "- Select One -":
            this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["-----"]);
            break;
        case "BA - Communication (BACOMM)":
            this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Mass Communication (MCO1)","Theatre (THEA)","Communication Studies (MC02)"]);
            break;
        case "BA - History (BAHIST)":
            this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Teacher Certification (HIS1)"]);
            break;
        case "BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)":
            this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Supply Chain Management (SCM)","Hospitality Management (HSMG)"]);
            break;
    Then create a second dropdown field, and name it Concentration. Nothing further needs to be done with the second dropdown field (as far as entering options or any javascript.)
    It should work. I have created a form using this code and field structure, and it is working. I hope this helps you, if in fact this is what you were trying to do. (I do not know how to attach a file to this post or I would send you the PDF that I made so you could see the fields. If you message me, I can send it to you.)

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Extended Web Capture Problem

    There are three different ways to convert a web page to .pdf that I am aware of.  I have used the first for several years but it has stopped working.  The second now has corrupt fonts.  The third still works.  I have repaired Acrobat to no avail - does anyone have an idea of what might have happened?
    1.     When right click web page and convert to pdf:
    An error has occurred in the script on this page
    Line:       11
    Char:      3
    Error:      Permission denied
    Code:     0
    URL:       res://C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroIEFavClient.dll/AcroIECapture.html
    Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
    Yes         No
    2.     When right click and print to pdf converts OK but fonts scrambled
    3.     When select web capture from within Acrobat it works fine

    Since there were no answers, I will take a stab at a reponse. For the 2nd method, I suspect you could simply select the print or press job options to get the desired results or turn off "use local fonts" in Acrobat. If you check the font list, the fonts are probably not embedded and that is likely the problem.
    I noticed that you have both Reader and Acrobat installed and that might cause some conflict, but should not be the issue here. If you were to uninstall Reader, you would have to repair Acrobat. The conflict here is that you might have problems with the one opening when you want the other. If it works for you, then don't worry about it.
    For technique 1, I suspect you may be using IE 9 that has apparently been a problem since it came out. I have refused to install it. However, it may simply be that PDF Maker does not work correctly with your browser, or got deactivated and needs to be allowed to run in your browser (IE I am assuming).
