Division Script in Acrobat 5

Just trying to get a simple division script to work
var a = this.getField {"Loan Amt"};
var b = this.getField {"Comp5"};
event.value = a.value / b.value
keep getting this message
SyntaxError:missing; before statement at Line 1
help is appreciated
Thanks

You're using curly braces where you should be using parentheses. Also, you should make sure the denominator value is not zero before you do the division:
(function () {
    // Get field values as numbers
    var a = +getField("Loan Amt").value;
    var b = +getField("Comp5").value;
    // Perform the calculation
    event.value = b ? a / b : "";

Help with Custom calculation script in Acrobat 8

Hi all, I am using acrobat 8 on OS 10.5
I am trying to add certain fields (numbers) and then subtract another field value to give an end result.
I don't know anything about Javascript, would anyone be able to help with any info on how I achieve this result? I can only see Add, x and average etc... nothing there for subtraction
Thanks for any help in advance
Swen

This should get you started:
>if (event) {
// get values from two text fields
var a = Number(this.getField('Text1').value);
var b = Number(this.getField('Text2').value);
// subtract the values and show it
this.event.target.value = a - b;
Place this in a 3d text field, as a Custom Calculation Script.

Java Script Adobe Acrobat 5.0

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?

CloseDoc is interrupting a batch run script in Acrobat X

I am using a batch script to split a PDF file and then process (send via email) the individual pages. Because extractPages opens the new page each time it's called, I had inserted a closeDoc referencing the new doc object so that I didn't end up with multiple open pages or crash Acrobat. The script below worked fine when tested in Acrobat 8, but in Acrobat X I get a Dead Object error, so I've commented this out. The script below is just a snippet from a larger script, but it does work in A8, all of those variables are defined and have values within the process.
I checked the API and it says:
In versions of Acrobat earlier than 7.0, a document that closes itself by executing this.closeDoc
terminates any script that follows it. In Acrobat 7.0, the script is allowed to continue and to terminate
naturally. However, if the Doc of the closed document is referenced, an exception will be thrown.
I am not referencing the document object called 'send_document' after this call except in if statements that won't be run, is this still an issue, that the doc object is referenced at all? Would it help to use a different variable name for the doc object in each section of my if/then statement?
Right now I'm being forced to work around it because I can close all the open documents at the end, but Acrobat crashes if we open more than 50 docs, and we do have multipage PDFs with more than 50 pages we need to process. Does this seem like an error I should report or an issue with how I'm implementing closeDoc?
     send_document = this.extractPages(cnt, cnt) ;
            send_document.mailDoc(
                bUI: false,
                cTo: send_to,
                cSubject: subject_line,
                cMsg: message_text
            send_document.closeDoc(true) ;
Thanks ahead for any clues/help,
JP

Since you're not specifying the cPath parameter of extractPages it does not
return a Doc object, but null, according to the reference file.
Edit: My mistake, it's the other way around...
I've run your code and it seems to work fine (although it didn't go completely smoothly as I still had to manually allow the appliction to email the files).
Have you tried debugging it to see where the "Dead Object error" occurs?

'flatten.txt' script for Acrobat 9 Flatten Document Menu Item

Hello,
I was following the steps in this blog (Add a Flatten Document Menu Item to Acrobat) to add a Flatten Document menu item in Acrobat 9, and the link the 'flatten.txt' script is dead. The page directs you to this link: https://acrobat.com/?d=KlVeiP4I1SXCRcTpRh-2wQ, which is just the Adobe Document Cloud webpage. Does anybody have a copy of the 'flatten.txt' script? I've used this before on my last computer, but since re-installing I have not been able to add this feature to Acrobat 9. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

You need to contact Rick Borstein to update the link for the missing file. See his blog entry In case files are missing. Adobe has closed Acrobat.com and started a new service for Acrobat DC.
There are any number of scripts to provide add this feature with some options.

Template generating script crashes acrobat x application

Hi,
I am fairly new to acrobat scripting. I have been beating my head against the wall on this one and have come to ask the collective. The following script works if numberPages is set to 1 (one new page is generated based on the template). When I change numberPages to 2 or more, the application crashes. Any suggestions?
This is on acrobat x, windows 7
Thanks,
Roland
var mypath = "Template1.pdf";
numberPages = 1;
this.insertPages({cPath: mypath, nPage: -1});
t = this.createTemplate({cName:"signoff", nPage:0 });
t.hidden = true;
// spawns number of pages
for (i = 0; i < numberPages; i++){
t.spawn(i, true, false);

Looks like I finally figured it out. It was something quite silly. Apparently, hiding the template before spawning it is a bad idea (at least under certain circumstances...when there are comments in the source file and a form in the template file). This script seems to work just fine so far:
var mypath = "Template1.pdf";
numberPages = 6;
this.insertPages({cPath: mypath, nPage: -1});
t = this.createTemplate({cName:"signoff", nPage:0 });
// spawns number of pages
for (i = 0; i < numberPages; i++){
t.spawn(i, true, false);
t.hidden = true;

Java Script in Acrobat

I am trying to make a popup Menu under a button in Acrobat X. For this I added a Javascript in the Button menu.
I get the impression that there is a limit to the amount of lines Acrobat can manage because I get error messages that are not logical and when I delete a random line everything is ok.
Is there anybody with experience in this matter?

It gives diverse SyntaxErrors. Missing spaces or other things in diffenet lines. There is really no logic in that. And when I reduce the ammount of lines, no matter what line I delete, it functions.
I can give you the script on a point where it doesnot function anymore. The thing I added last was the second submenu. And thank you for reacting!

Is it possible to simulate a table for reference in the "Custom Calculation Script" in Acrobat?

I am attempting to simulate a table in a Acrobat form where the formula looks at the number or name from another field and looks through the code for the name or number reference and returns the value associated with the number or name. Is this possible in Acrobat forms?
Bruce

Yes, it's possible. You can get the name of the field that is being calculated using event.target.name, and then you can manipulate that name to get a row number (for example) and access other fields in that row.

Future Date Script in Acrobat, 6 months after current date

Hey guys I have been working on this for hours and I am not sure why I cannot figure this out. I am looking to have 1 field box in the form auto populate the current date and another field box to auto populate a date 6 months from the current date. My current date code is attached, I have been playing around with so many variations that I do not want to confuse anyone with my other ugly code fragments.
var bFirstTime=1;
var f=this.getField("todaysDate");
if (bFirstTime=1) {
f.value=util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy",new Date());
bFirstTime=0;
//app.bFirstTime);

Have you tried a document level funtction that runs when the PDF is opened. The following script fills in today's date if the field has not been field in and computes the date in 5 months using the parts of the date and the value of today's date.
// one time use document level function
( function () {
// update fields only if balnk
if(this.getField('todaysDate').defaultValue == '') {
// get current date time object
var oNow = new Date();
// get some date parts
var fYear = oNow.getFullYear(); // 4 digit year
var fMonth = oNow.getMonth(); // get zero based month
var fDate = oNow.getDate(); // get date of month
var sFormat = '%,302.0f/%,302.0f/%,304.0f';
// fill in field
this.getField('todaysDate').value = util.printf(sFormat, (fMonth + 1), fDate, fYear);
// make permanent
this.getField('todaysDate').defaultValue = this.getField('todaysDate').value;
// compute date 6 months from today
fMonth += 6;
var oNew = new Date(fYear, fMonth, fDate);
// get some date parts
fYear = oNew.getFullYear(); // 4 digit year
fMonth = oNew.getMonth(); // get zero based month
fDate = oNew.getDate(); // get date of month
// fill in field
this.getField('newDate').value = util.printf(sFormat, (fMonth + 1), fDate, fYear);
// make permanent
this.getField('newDate').defaultValue = this.getField('newDate').value;
// debugging aid
app.alert('dates updated', 2, 0);
} else {
app.alert('dates not updated', 1, 0);
} // end not empty
return;
} // end function
() // call funtion
); // end document level function

Script for Acrobat Reader to save as read only after filled out.

Hi
I have created a work proposal form to be filled out with an estimate of work to be done and the cost.
Is there a script that will then let me save the form as read only so recipient can not make any changes?
Ron A

Thanks GKaiseril
I found this in the forums from a previous post by try67
It works perferctly.
However in his post he left off the last bracket }
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
if (f!=null && f.type!="button") f.readonly = true;

How to do Script in Acrobat reader pro * Monthly Payment*

Hallo,
I hope somone can help me with script.
I need an editable PDF file that have two text field. text field1 have price, text field2 shoud be calculate automaticly monthly payment,
Example:
if the price in filed1:100-300 $---------------shoud be in field2 $10/monthly.
if the price in filed1:301-349 $------------shoud be in field2 $11/monthly.
if the price in filed1: 350-399 $------------shoud be in field2 $12/monthly.
if the price in filed1: 400-449 $------------shoud be in field2 $13/monthly.
thanks

For the "field2" custom calculation script, one could use:
// get the value of "field1"
var nPrice = this.getField("field1").vallue;
// set monthly payment base on the range of value of field1
switch(true) {
case (nPrice >= 100 && nPrice < 301) :
// price is greater than or equal to 100 and less than 301
event.value = 10;
break;
case (nPrice >= 301 && nPrice < 350) :
// price is greater than or equal to 301 and less than 350
event.value = 11;
break;
case (nPrice >= 350 && nPrice < 400) :
// price is greater than or equal to 350 and less than 400
event.value = 12;
break;
case (nPrice >= 400 && nPrice < 450) :
// price is greater than or equal to 100 and less than 301
event.value = 13;
break;
default:
// all other prices
event.value = "";
break;

How do I run scripts in Acrobat.

This is simple I know but my only experience is with Indesign and there is an SDK and a pallette that the user selects from. I am not sure if acrobat shares any similarities. Any help or direction would be appreciated.

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

I was able to do all steps in 4 different action wizard scripts in Acrobat XI. How can I access them in a LiveCycle process?
If this is not possible, how can I access preflight corrections into a LiveCycle process to achieve the same?
Thanks a lot!
