I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0...

I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0 in order to compare pages, delete the same pages and mark pages from first compared document with new and mark pages from second compared document with original. I downloaded the SDK for adobe 9.0 but now I am not sure how to continue? Do I need Visual Studio or can I use another program that is a freeware? What other program do you recommend? How can I open an .api file in order to see the code? Do I need to place the SDK files in a specific place?

1. You will need Visual Studio. Getting your first plug-in to compile can be an ordeal, be sure to use a sample project and work with it exactly.
2. API files are the work of other programmers. You cannot look inside, and to try to do so is a breach of most software licenses.
3. API files are installed to the Acrobat plug-ins folder.
4. You will not find samples or code to copy/paste. You should be an experienced C/C++ programmer, you should be familiar with the basics of the PDF file format ISO 32000-1, and you should be prepared to read thousands of pages of documentation.

Problems in Windows 8 creating PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

I am running Windows 8 with the latest version of MS Office (version 14) and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. I was not having any problems making/printing PDF documents until about 30 days ago. The only things that I can think of that have changed during this time period is 1) I updated my Office Suite to version 14 from the previous version and, most recently, 2) my Adobe Acrobat Reader program was automatically updated to the latest version. I ended-up uninstalled Adobe Reader becuase the new program became my default for openning all Adobe PDF files, even when I tried to force my computer to use Adobe Acrobat Pro as the default (becuase doing so allows me to edit docments with features not available in the free Reader version). When I go to print a Word document, for example, to Adobe Acrobat, the process stalls/stops at the point where you are supposed to choose a location to print/safe the new PDF document file. All I get is the Save-As Screen with most of the buttons and folder tree blank (see example below). After 5-10 seconds, "not responding" shows up in the title of the Save-As Screen and I have to click the "X" box in the upper right corner to abort. This problem seems to have first started when trying to print pictures from the Windows picture viewer. After a while long, I noticed that the same problem occured when printing from my internet browser (Firefox), but I coudl still print from Word or Excel. Now, as of the last couple of days, I can't print from any program except the basic Paint software program. I think this may actually be a Windows issue because when trying to toublshoot this problem, I re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro and it did not help. I also tried making PDF documents using the free PrimoPDF software and had the exact same problem. I have no idea where to go from here. All I know is that I desperately need to create PDF documents and cannot! Please help!!

You're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

Need to edit a form created in Adobe Acrobat Pro X

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro X but now I can't edit the form questions, I know I'm missing something obvious but its driving me nuts right now.

here is a link to the file:
Wikisend: free file sharing service
I want to be able to edit the following:
I Squared R, LLC
Meeting Attendance Form
1-901-0001-00001 Revision 1
and pretty much everything else... I created the file a while ago but I cant remember how to edit the file and I really don't want to have to redo everything again. As far as i can figure out the file isn't locked or anything. Any ideas?

Security matching between Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader

I've created a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro that requires information to be filled out in boxes as well as signatures to complete the form. I've tested the form on different computers that bring it up in Adobe Reader. I'm trying to make them compatible. My Security options on Pro for the document show that everything is allowed (printing, changing the document, signing, etc.) but when it is opened up in Reader it shows most of those as Not Allowed. I need to change that but I'm not sure how. I need the form to be compatible for Reader so that others can fill out the information needed and then submit via email back to me. Please advise on what to do to make that happen, if possible. I need details! Thanks!!

You can enable certain features in Reader, such as digitally signing and saving, by Reader-enabling the document in Acrobat. Exactly how you do this depends on what version of Acrobat you're using:
A9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
A10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
A11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)

Issue with Submit a form in Adobe Acrobat pro XI

I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am using a submit form button. I want the body of the email to display a html version of the PDF, however, instead it attaches the file as a *.tmp file and does not show up in the body. What am I am missing? (also, outlook blocked access to the file and claimed it to be a potentially unsafe attachment, but trying with other e-mail editors i still had no luck)
Also, is there a way to do this in javascript? if so, how?
(I would like to know how to do it with and without javascript if available - im learning)

not really, someone else mentioned that it could be done and they said they saw it before. I've been beating myself up for a while trying to figure out how to get it to happen. Is there an easy way to get the content of the pdf form into an email body with plain text when pressing a submit by email button?
Such as...
<label name>: <txtfield content>
First name: <txtfield content>
...etc..

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro. Do I need to purchase Forms Central separately?

I've created a form using Adobe Acrobat Pro, now I want to distribute the form but it keeps asking me to subscribe for the monthly service. Is this not included in the Pro version?

Formcentral service is not included in the perpetual license of Acrobat XI. It must either be purchased separately or it is included in the subscription version of Acrobat.

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 (version 9 and X): creating limitations in a group of fields.

Hello,
I am building a fillable questionnaire form using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and X.
Within 1 question, I want to set 3 fields, each representing an answer that can only be answered once.
I know about Radio Buttons but, I need to have some text written instead of a checkbox.
How to set a limit onto a field to direct person filling in the form to answer only 1 of the 3 fields within the same question?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Win_win

Thanks for your explaination although I am aware of both functions and thats why I chose one over the other.
I can understand that with more experiences with scripts or the software, you can 'play' with the function much easier and better than I could as I'm quite junior to all of these. So I appreciate if you can bare with me as I try to explain what troubles I have and ways I had tried to solve them.
The trouble I have, is Radio buttons have pre-set options and thus would not allow end user to write down their own value. But what I need, is the value and the limitations that the end user could only choose 1 of the 3 options from a group. (Note that I am not using any scripts so I'm using the softwares' function as-is.) In other words, if the group for 1 button has answers as A, B, or C. I want to know how much of A. And not a pre-set value of A. If the end user chose A, then B and C would not be chosen. As it's either the quantity of A, or B, or C.
Also, what I did not understood from your message earlier today was what is a 'nullstring' in a text field and how to create that?
It seems from your response earlier that I could solve my problem with either Radiobuttons or, Checkboxes.
If I were to use checkboxes, then how can I 'add a control to make the text field read-only when one of the checkboxes has been selected' as you've suggested?
Is one option better than another? At managing responses received?
I will have to repeat this for quite an amount of questions I have for the form, so whichever that is easier to achieve and would produce minimum problems /errors, would be preferred.
I hope I have explained myself clearly.

Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

Hi,
the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

Issue attaching files in Adobe Reader from a form created in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Extended

Hello all,
I am having issues- big ones- please help!
I have created a simple form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 extended version that will be made available in a local drive for our salesmen to open not online or in html format- fill in and send back to their manager and the factory- there are 2 e-mail submit buttons on this form and the user selects which one to send to.
This form also has a button for save and for print. Everything works great except that the attach a file button I created. It works in Adobe Acrobat, but not in Reader. When you click the button in Reader it compresses but nothing happens.
I have tried many different things- including extending the rights to adobe reader.
Also, this form has a password protected security and I have given permission to print, to fill in the form and sign existing signature fields. When adding the security I made sure it said compatible with Adobe 3.0 and later versions.
I know I have to do the security before I extend the rights to reader and not the other way around.
Don't know what else to do.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
A.

I've attempted using Acrobat Pro to do the conversion, but it simply won't allow it. Are there easier ways to have an online or fillable form, created in an Adobe program, such as LiveCycle or Acrobat Pro, sent or saved in a pdf format?
For example: I make a form using an Adobe Program and put it online for people to fill out. They fill it out and click a button to email it to me. When I open it, is there a way to see it as a PDF document?
Thank you for your help thus far. It has been much more informative than many of the forums I've attempted to decipher.

Creating a basic list portfolio in Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.2 and higher

All,
I am trying to create a basic portfolio in Adobe Acrobate Pro X 10.1.2; however, I only have the following layouts available:
Click-Through
Freeform
Grid
Linear
Wave
None of these layouts seem practical. I just need a standard list portfolio, similiar to the "list with file preview" layout available in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. Is there a similar list portfolio available in later versions of Adobe that I am just not aware about? I really don't want to have go looking for a custom-portfolio to download.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
To be complete on this, first make sure JavaScript is enabled:
Edit > Preferences, JavaScript category
Check "Enable Acrobat JavaScript".
To open the console, you can hit ctrl-J.
-Or- to use a tool button to open the console, do the following:

View > Tools > JavaScript
2. Click the arrow on the JavaScript heading to show the tools beneath it.
3. Click "JavaScript debugger". to show the JavaScript console/debugger.

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.

Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am having problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD. Printing other PDF created by MS Word works well. Had a similar problem in an earlier version of Pro. The fix I figure out then was to print the PDF file as another PDF. Using the second PDF to print to a plotter typically worked. It does not work for Adoabe Acrobat Pro XI.
