Creating a pop-up in Acrobat X that is triggered when the PDF is opened.

Hello all,
I am wanting to create  a pop-up that is triggered when the PDF is opened.
The problem I am facing is that our customers are filling out the packet , but are not using the purple "Submit" button located at the top of the page to submit the form to us. They are instead printing out the form and faxing it to us, or scanning and emailing the packet, which defeats the whole purpose of it being a fillable, distributed pdf.
The email invitation that they receive is a bit wordy so I have have pared that down as well. To be honest with the amount of "Read this first" pop ups that we are exposed to daily I think that our customers are simply not reading the instructions properly.
There was a post here in the forums but the expanation was for Acrobat 7 or 8.
Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for the quick response George. I guess a better way communicate what I need to accomplish is "how"
I went to the toolbar on the right, then "javascript", then "Document Java Scripts". That opened a window that had me name the script, then add it, then put in the scripting (see below). I do not know how to "place it in a document-level JavaScript (outside of a function definition) or in the initial page's Page Open event."
This is the script I am attempting to use.
var message = "When you have completed filling out the Tax Organizer, click on the purple "SUBMIT" button at the top of the page. This will automaticall submit your Tax Organizer for you. Be sure to print a copy for your files"
app.alert(msg,3);
If you could provide some step by steps that would be super.
I am wanting this pop-up box to open and the client will have to then click on the "ok" button to make it dissapear so that they can then fill out the PDF.
The "Submit" button is auto created for me when I choose to distribute the form, I am unaware of any way to move it.
I feel that my issue is a elementary one, I am currently working through the Adobe Classroom in a Book lessons as all my acrobat skills have been self taught.

  • Inserting soundtracks in pdf that play automatically when the pdf is opened

    Hi,
    I am trying to insert an audio to a pdf that plays automatically plays when the pdf is opened (with Adobe). I am using Adobe Reader on a PC.
    I could do it manually (Comments - Record Audio), but I cant get it to work automatically (i.e. without clicking on the audio symbol)
    Is there anything I can do in the preferences I can do to change this?
    Thanks,
    Kish

    You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
    As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

  • How do I create a PDF from ID, so that when the PDF is opened in Reader, the text is editable?

    Three different members of Adobe Support have unfortunately been unable to resolve this problem so I am pinning all of my hopes on my fellow users! Please Help!
    I have been sent a PDF by my client (created via their previous agency) which when opened in Reader (not Acrobat) enables me to edit the existing text (in the existing fonts, granted only Helvetica) and re-save it as a hi-res PDF.
    I have tried virtually everything to get this to work without success, I can create 'editable fields' but this deletes the existing text and inserts a blank box over the top which I can type into with the default 'Times'.
    What will ultimately happen is that I will design the documents in English and then they will be uploaded to an ftp for download at various offices around the world. Therefore they need to translate what we have written but retain the same document design.
    I know this is possible because I have the PDF in front of me, I also know that PDFs in essence weren't designed to be editable but apparently it is now achievable and very useful if I can get the blasted thing to work
    Very many thanks, your opinions will be most appreciated!

    Well, everything in those PDFs were form fields. You can make form fields in Acrobat - and then you can right-click on 'em and change their appearance, whether or not they'll accept rich text input, whether or not they'll scroll, and so on. It could also be done in LiveCycle Designer, for what it's worth. I wrote a now-obsolete post about this in response to yours before Mike showed up with this video.
    Probably most of your work on your designs in InDesign would need to be trashed; you'd need to rebuild the whole thing in Acrobat or LiveCycle. I have to say that, unless your targeted documents are extremely simple, that this is one of the worst document translation workflows I've ever seen in the last fifteen years. It might work - I'm trying to keep an open mind, here - but if you have any non-Latin-script languages in your target list, or if print reproduction is what you're after, or if you're expecting tracking revisions to the translations to be anything but a nightmare, I would suggest that you test this method inside and out before progressing any further.

  • We use a plugin Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in Version 10.1.2 on a Mac to get the pdf to open in a browser window. Is there a later version or other method ?

    We use a plugin Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in Version 10.1.2 on a Mac to get the pdf to open in Acrobat and the pdf display within the browser window, as within our Online artwork Approval system we use the Acrobat Annotations server to annotate pdfs and publish to the server
    But we can no longer get this plugin to work! Is there a later version ? or is there another way of forcing the pdf to open in a Acrobat Reader application (not the Mac viewer) within the browser and not open another window to display the pdf in Acrobat?

    The latest version is 11.0.6. Whether that's available to you depends on the version of Mac OS you're running.

  • I need a Badi that is triggered when saving Sales order in both Va01 and Va

    Hi
    I need a Badi that is triggered when saving Sales order in both Va01 and Va02
    I tried with the following BADI's
    BADI : BADI_SD_SALES
    Implementation : /BEV1/SR_SALES_ORD_1
    Method SAVE_DOCUMENT
    Now when i want to put my peice of code in this (SAVE_DOCUMENT) method.
    It is asking for Access key. Which i do not have.
    Should i create a implementation and then create a method and then put my code there?
    Anybody plz help.

    You will probably not find a BADI to suit your needs.  However if you look at include program MV45AFZZ you should find two subroutines:  USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE and USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT.  You can put the code you need directly into these subroutines.  If these have not been changed yet on your system, you will need an access key to make these changes.
    Please read the documentation in the header of the subroutines for furtner information on when they are called.

    Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with  nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

    Can anybody knows the way to override the messages that is triggered in the Function module.
    Right now we are using a standard function module "SD_CONDITION_VALIDITY_PERIODS" to get validity period of a pricing condition. What happened is we have a missing pricing condition from the master so its checking the table T681 and giving the error. We want to override this condition. If anybody knows a way how we can implement this please let me know.

  • Acrobat 9.5, file corruption when combining .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document

    In Acrobat 9, when I combine .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document, there is data corruption. Some of the text appears as blank boxes when the pages are inserted into the larger .pdf, the main document. I have so far solved this by "printing" the files to .pdf, and then inserting them into the larger .pdf main document, but this creates a fatter .pdf file that is much larger than would otherwise be the case. Are there any other solutions within Acrobat 9, please? If this bug has been solved in Acrobat X or XI, please advise. Thanks.

    As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
    As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
    Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

    Hi!
    I would like to create a DVD menu that offers two languages. So the first page gives two options: Language 1 and Language 2. Then depending on which language you choose, you go to a menu that proposes different videos and a photo slideshow.
    Regardless on which language button you click on initially, you get the same content but in different languages.
    I've been looking at Premiere's templates, which I can certainly customize, but I really don't see how to create the double menu. Does anybody have an idea?
    Put the video with the first language on the timeline followed by the video with the second language.  Use chapter markers so you can have each video as a chapter in the menu.
    I use Premiere Pro, so I can't give more specific directions. Perhaps somebody like ATR will chime in.
    Also, I have another question: can I put videos from different projects in the same DVD with Premiere or must all of the videos that go into the DVD be in the same project?
    Thank you very much!!!

    They must be in the same project.

    How can I create a view for a task list using c# that doesn't display the timeline.  I want to do this using server side code but I can't seem to find a view property that will hide the timeline.  I know how to do it manually through the UI but
    I need to automate it.

    Hi Garoline,
    We can set ViewData of the view to empty to achieve your requirement. The following code snippet for your reference:
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sp2013sps/"))
    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
    SPList list = web.Lists["TaskList"];
    SPViewCollection allviews = list.Views;
    string viewName = "Test View";
    System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection viewFields = new System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection();
    viewFields.Add("Checkmark");
    viewFields.Add("LinkTitle");
    viewFields.Add("Due Date");
    viewFields.Add("Assigned To");
    string myquery = "<where><gt><fieldref name='ID' /><value type='Counter'>0</value></gt></where>";
    allviews.Add(viewName, viewFields, myquery, 100, true, false);
    SPView view=list.Views[viewName];
    view.ViewData = "";
    view.Update();
