Can I balloon engineering prints in Adobe Reader or Acrobat? Create a dynamic stamp w/ Java Script?

I am trying to establish a very simple way to balloon prints with character numbers; below I have uploaded an example screen shot.  My end goal is for the user to select a dynamic stamp (a circle with a number in the center) and it start numbering with 1 and then increment by 1 yet the user is placing each balloon in its respective location, resetting for each PDF document, one addition would be to allow the balloon numbers to be edited like a text box after they have been created in case there is an error in balloon placement etc.  Is this possible? I have programming experience in other languages, but have only built a few dynamic stamps with time stamp information provided by java script code.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Yes it's possible with dynamic stamps, but the code is rather messy as it has to keep a running total.
See http://www.pdfscripting.com/public/department53.cfm for some samples (and the definitive book on creating your own dynamic stamps), and Rick Borstein's blog for some basic samples that put exhibit numbers on legal documents.

  • Borderless printing with Adobe reader or acrobat and HP Officejet Pro 8100

    Hello,
    When printing borderless with my Pro 8100 the printed pdf moves about 2mm to te left on the paper. (White vertical strip on the right side is the result and on the left side something is missing!).
    What causes the problem seems to be that the HP Pro 8100 printsoftware makes the A4-format a littlebit larger (214,55 x 300,91) than an actual A4-format (210,00 x 297,00) when you choose borderless printing.
    Therefore, I suppose that the pdf shoud be centered before printing. Adobe reader doesn't seem to have the possiblity to center the page however.
    Any tips?

    The borderless printing option is intended to print photo's on photo paper.  When printing borderless the print is slightly oversized to eliminate (or reduce) to chance for white edges due to media skey.  Depending on your operating system you may have a setting in the Advanced tab of the driver for Overspray, set this to minimum and see if it helps.

  • In Windows 8 environment--can't print from Adobe reader

    Hi there. I have problems printing from Adobe reader in a Windows 8 environment. The printing defaul is "OneNote", and I can't get to the print screen to change it to my normal printer. When you try to print (with button or Ctrl-P) the print screen opens for a split second and then Adobe reader closes.
    I would like to disable "OneNote" as the default, but can't get the print screen to stay open long enough for me to select my regular printer. I would be grateful for advice. I am sure there is an easy fix--I just don't know what it is. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe reader, so i was able to print for the rest of that one day. Nest day--back to square one.
    Thanks.

    Did all the updates thru 8.1.7.  Now it tells me to print the document I need to activate Adobe which I did when I installed it.  Under the Help screen the activation tab is greyed out.  If I did de-activate it on my old laptop I don’t think it would change the state of this tab.

  • How can a document be darkened before printing in Adobe Reader?

    How can a document be darkened before printing in Adobe Reader?

    Darken the text is what I meant by that.    When the document is scanned and emailed, the text is light in some cases but can be read when it’s opened up on the computer but once it’s printed, some of the text can hardly be read.
    I was hoping there was a way to darken the text of a document before printing it but it doesn’t sound like that is an option.
    Thanks for responding.

  • Can not Printing using Adobe Reader V9.0, OS is  Windows Vista

    Help Me Please! I can not print in Adobe Reader. This is what is happening: I select print, the status bar shows pages being sent to the printer, the printer Hicups, clicks, clangs, clunks, and Burps and nothing comes out; No error, No copy. I'm running V9.0 but the same thing happened in version 8. I thought it was something to do with the down-load. What gives?

    Sorry for disappearing; gotta make a livin'
    No, I haven't looked for an updated driver for my printer but I will give that a try. I was able to print using the "print as image" function but it really bogged my system down to pre-Pentium days. I'll let you know if the driver update works. Thanks for reaching out!

  • I am trying to print using adobe reader and i can't. this hasn't happened before and allstate doesn'

    i am trying to print using adobe reader and suddenly, i can't. please help.

    Might be helpful to have more details like, what version of Reader, where you are getting the PDF's and what "exactly" happens when you try and print (along with the steps taken to get to that point). And it sounds like Allstate has something to do with it. Might be helpful to know where they come in.

  • Installed an Windows 8.1 update yesterday; Now coputer freezes when trying to print from Adobe Reader.  Can print from MS word

    Installed a Windows 8.1 update yesterday; now computer freezes when trying to print from Adobe Reader XI.  Still can print a word document from MS Word.

    Was already running latest version 11.0.10.  Tried the re-load fix; tried uninstalling and installing a new one from the web.  Problem still exists -- cannot print any document from Adobe Reader XI.  Computer freezes when the print file is being prepared at 0%.

  • Can't print from Adobe Reader X

    Whenever I try to print from Adobe Reader I get the message "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close." The error signature is:
    AppName: acrord32.exe
    AppVer: 10.1.2.45
    ModName: acrord32.exe
    ModVer: 10.1.2.45
    Offset: 0005e985
    It does not matter if a PDF file ois on the web and it opens as a web page or if I open a file that is alreadty on my comuter.
    I tested printing from an older version of Adobe Reader and it does not create a problem (that version is coming up when I download files that
    are on my Cloud server.
    What is the solution, if any?

    Kindly try the workaround available at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/928/cpsid_92870.html and this should help resolve the problem

    3. Are you seeing this issue with some specific pdfs or any pdf in general? I mean have you ever able to print any pdf so far using Reader, For investigation, please attach PDF file, or you may share your email id for communication
    4. please specify the OS platform(32 or 64 bit ) details ?

  • Document Name on Print in Adobe Reader 9

  • Printing in Adobe Reader 11

    I had Adobe Reader 10 (X) on my Win 7 Pro 64 bit desktop. I can open PDF files just fine and view them, and save them. Just as soon as I got the the Quick Print button or File --> Print, the adobe reader window goes right into Not Responding. I never even get a Print Window. I have tried different PDF's, same result. I uninstall Reader X, deleted all files and registry entries, reinstalled Reader X, same problem. So I unsinstalled and installed Reader XI, same problem. It is really frustrating.
    I have an Epson NX100, with the most up to date drivers. Any ideas why this is happening? I have waited 10 minutes for it to "come back" from not responding, never does. I have to kill the process from Task Manager in order to get rid of the Adobe Reader window.

    I don't know why this is happening; "Not Responding" usually means the process is waiting for something - but what?
    If this were happening to me, I would try to observe the process with Process Monitor - this might get me an idea what resource it is waiting for.

  • How do I get the "auto portrait/landscape" option to show during printing in Adobe Reader Touch

    When I print using Adobe Reader Touch, the "auto portrait/landscape" options does not show up.  As a result, all pages in a document are printed in the same orientation even if they are not all of the same orientation in the file itself.  I don't believe this is a printer issue because if I use Adobe Reader X (v. 10.1.6) on the same computer/printer, the auto option does show up and the documents print as desired.  I use Windows 8.  As the video quality of Adobe Reader X is extremely blurry in Windows 8, I would like to be able to use Adobe Reader Touch exclusively.  How do I get the latter to give me the "auto portrait/landscape" option during printing?
    Thank you,
    Pelle

    Hello Pelle,
    Thanks for the feedback. Our printing code in Adobe Reader Touch doesn't have that capability right now, but since you mention it we should probably do what you're requesting by default. I'll put that into our backlog for a future update, but I can't say yet when it will be available.
    In the interim, if you have pages that are different orientations, you can print them in blocks manually to get what you want, but I understand that's a hassle.

  • Printing from Adobe Reader

    Since updating Mac OS X to Version 10.6.6, I can't print from Adobe Reader. I have read other recent posts with similar problems, but have not located an adequate response. I have updated Driver Software from HP. The problem is inconsistent. Sometimes one or two pages will print from a multi-page document. More often nothing will print... "Sending data to printer" Nada. Printer goes offline. It's always been touch and go with Adobe Reader, as well as printing from Safari, but never as bad as this. I used to save documents from Safari as PDF's so they would be easier to print. Not anymore! Any ideas?

    +I used to save documents from Safari as PDF's so they would be easier to print. Not anymore!+
    Why not? I only use that Reader when I'm forced to. Simply do a Command + I on any PDF document and, in the resulting window, choose Preview under "Open with:" and then click on "change all" underneath. That will make Preview the default app for PDFs and it works like a charm.

  • Decoding 2D barcode on forms printed from Adobe Reader

    We use LiveCycle Designer 8 in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro to create forms, which are then opened, completed and printed using Adobe Reader, then signed by the user and mailed back.
    We believe we can put a 2D paper forms barcode on the form, but if filled in by Adobe Reader the data gets encrypted and so cannot be scanned (though if completed by Acrobat, the data is not encrypted - unfortunately most customers do not have Acrobat)
    We heard that you could buy software or a hardware device to enable the received printed forms to be scanned and the 2D data decoded - is this correct still?
    Thanks

    In regards to the Decoder, this is a piece of software that does the actual decoding of the barcode from a printed and scanned form (or faxed). It can decode barcodes from both TIFF and PDF documents.
    If you are using a high-speed scanning solution then you more than likely have a decoder built into your solution. If not, then the decoder is an ideal add-on solution. In fact, with the new Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms ES you can not only decode but you can integrate the data right into your existing workflow quite easily.
