Creating a document script for Clock in Acrobat Professional.

Hi,
I am trying to add a field on my PDF form which shows a continuous clock.
I do not know how to add code to a document script in Acrobat Professional.
"Advaned/ Javascript/ Set Document Actions" is greyed out.
Thanks in advance,
Damo.

It sounds like you have Acrobat 9 or earlier?  And is this a LiveCycle form?
In therory, clock code is very simple. It just writes the formatted time to a text field. But the details depend on the type of form, LiveCycle or AcroForm

  • How to create a "Custom Color" for highlighting? (Acrobat XI)

    How to create a "Custom Color" for highlighting? (Acrobat XI)
    The numbers in the RGB and other fields change as various numbers are changed.
    I wanted to create a pale orange:
    Hue               13      Red      255
    Saturation   240      Green  177
    Luminosity    86       Blue     140
    I'd selected one of the orange squares in the color grid, to display the general orange area of the slider.
    I moved the slider to select a pale orange, which generated the above numbers.   Since this wasn't directly available to save to a Custom Color, I tried to  edit the numbers.  Unfortunately, the other numbers changed, making it impossible to actually create a color.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Note:  I used Techsmith's Snagit to show screen shots in a Word document.
    When I attempted to browse and upload the file, the error message said "[The content type of this image is not allowed.]"
    OK...what images *are* allowed?

    Hi Don,
    I saw Gilad answered your question in another forum post.
    Do you have everything you need at this point?
    Let me know if you need further assistance.
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • 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?

    You can create a custom dynamic stamp in Std. and Pro. and you can use the dynamic stamp in Reader as well. Here is an infographic on Creating a Custom Dynamic Stamp in Acrobat XI.

  • Creating SQL-Loader script for more than one table at a time

    Hi,
    I am using OMWB 2.0.2.0.0 with Oracle 8.1.7 and Sybase 11.9.
    It looks like I can create SQL-Loader scripts for all the tables
    or for one table at a time. If I want to create SQL-Loader
    scripts for 5-6 tables, I have to either create script for all
    the tables and then delete the unwanted tables or create the
    scripts for one table at a time and then merge them.
    Is there a simple way to create migration scripts for more than
    one but not all tables at a time?
    Thanks,
    Prashant Rane

    No there is no multi-select for creating SQL-Loader scripts.
    You can either create them separately or create them all and
    then discard the one you do not need.

  • Need Help in creating Unix Shell Script for database

    Would be appreciable if some one can help in creating unix shell script for the Oracle DB 10,11g.
    Here is the condition which i want to implement.
    1. Create shell script to create the database with 10GB TB SPACE and 3 groups of redo log file(Each 300MB).
    2. Increase size of redolog file.
    3. Load sample schema.
    4. dump the schema.
    5. Create empty db (Script should check if db already exists and drop it in this case).
    6. Create backup using rman.
    7. restore backup which you have backed up.

    This isn't much of a "code-sharing" site but a "knowledge-sharing" site.  Code posted me may be from a questioner who has a problem / issue / error with his code.   But we don't generally see people writing entire scripts as responses to such questions as yours.  There may be other sites where you can get coding done "for free".
    What you could do is to write some of the code and test it and, if and when it fails / errors, post it for members to make suggestions.
    But the expectation here is for you to write your own code.

    Here's a simple perl script that should help you get what it is you're looking for - you can add all the parameters you want to search for, I just took a few of them:
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
    use strict;
    use sapnwrfc;
    SAPNW::Rfc->load_config;
    my $rfc = SAPNW::Rfc->rfc_connect;
    my @parms = (   "login/min_password_lng",
              "login/password_expiration_time",
              "login/fails_to_session_end",
              "login/fails_to_user_lock" );
    for my $x (0 .. $#parms) {
         my $rcc = $rfc->function_lookup("SXPG_PROFILE_PARAMETER_GET");
         my $slr = $rcc->create_function_call;
         $slr->PARAMETER_NAME($parms[$x]);
         $slr->invoke;
         print "Value for $parms[$x] is: ".$slr->PARAMETER_VALUE."\n";
    $rfc->disconnect();
    And running it, you'll get:
    [dhull@397 scripts]$ ./read-profile.pl
    Value for login/min_password_lng is: 7
    Value for login/password_expiration_time is: 90
    Value for login/fails_to_session_end is: 3
    Value for login/fails_to_user_lock is: 6
    [dhull@397 scripts]$
    If you need to get your perl environment read to make RFC calls to your SAP system, check my series of blogs on how to do so here:

  • How to create a Document Template for "Scanned" PDFs? (Editing isn't necessary.)

    I have a Custom Content Type called "Vendor Invoices". It is based off the "Document" Content Type. I would like to create a "Document Template" that will support "PDFs", but the PDFs should always be added via an
    "upload" (since these are Invoices that we will be "receiving", there is no need to actually "Create" one). So, I don't need to support "New Document" or the "Drag and Drop" "New Document". I simply
    need the users to "Upload" the documents. Although, I have created several Columns for this Content Type (Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Vendor Name, etc) that the user will input when uploading the Invoice (PDF), so I WOULD like the "Document
    Information Panel" to appear. Is that only possible by using one of the Office document types?
    Any thoughts or ideas on how I might accomplish this?
    Thanks!
    Shayne

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create a pdf content type.
    We can use the PDF SharePoint Cumulative Update 1 to achieve this scenario, it allows you to create new PDF template and then deploy it as a Content Type.
    There is an article about this topic, you can refer to it.

  • Created a Document : Waiting for moderation - Status display will be a good addition

    Hi SCN Support Community,
         i had created a document a week ago, Since this is my first attempt to give back to the community , I am very impatient about when this will be published ( as its under moderation). I understand from the FAQs of Pre-moderation section that we have volunteers to moderate content and it takes roughly 3 days. I also understand that there is no way to check the status of my document till i get the relevant notification. However i feel it will be really helpful if we have in the portal where we can atleast see the status ..doesnt matter if it says "Under- Moderation" (there might be a reason why scn has opted away from this , if there isnt any, why not .

  • I need someone to write a Java Script for my Adobe Acrobat form. I do not know how to write Java Code

    I have never worked with Java coding and am in need of assistance for an acrobat form I am working on.
         - I have a form with a field identifier called BACompnayName (this is the field where they would enter their company name).

    What I am trying to accomplish:

    I appreciate any help.

  • Creating rules in script for

    I am trying to create an estimate form with backend rules script using criteria based on user selecting product from drop down menu.
    Here is sample what I am trying to do and hopefully it makes sense.
    Field1 x Field2= sum1  (which i  figured out)  Sum1 is new field
    drop down menu with 3 products:  if the user selects product1= unit price of $5.00    product2=unit price $7.00   product3=unit price $8.00(setup if then rules)
    Next:
    if the product 1 is X sum amount =>500 price is $10 or =<500 price is $15   This (sumtotal price unit ) x (sum1)  x (qty# )= total
    There are 4 qty entry boxes.
    There are 4 different drop down menu boxes.
    Can this be done in Livecycle design?
    Thxs

    If you are planning to add javascript in LifeCycle Designer here is the hint.
    You can have following event on dropdownlist to get the value.
    eventName:exit
    app.alert(this.rawValue); //which retunr the selected value in DDL.
    xfa.resolveNode("Field1").rawValue =this.rawValue or "$10";
    Hope this will help you.
