How to execute acrobat javascript thorugh acrobat plugin???

I need to perform a task using javascipt...but i am not able to run javascript from my plugin...I tried it using AFExecuteThisScript method given in API but it asks for " _gAcroFormHFT"..How can i import HFT into my plugin???
Is there any other method to execute a javascript from acrobat plugin??

You need to declare a (global) variable something like:
HFT gAcroFormHFT;
Then initialise it in your plugin's PluginImportReplaceAndRegister method, something like:
ACCB1 ASBool ACCB2 PluginImportReplaceAndRegister(void)
gAcroFormHFT = Init_AcroFormHFT;
return true;

How to access Acrobat Plugin using GetInterface?

Hi
I'm trying to access a C++ plug-in written for Adobe Acrobat from a C# program. Following is my code, which I found elsewhere in this forum (LINK).
Type acroApp;
acroApp = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("AcroExch.App");
object oAcroObject = Activator.CreateInstance(acroApp);
object[] param = new object[1];
param[0] = "MyPlugin";
object pluginRef = oAcroObject.GetType().InvokeMember("GetInterface",BindingFlags.Invoke Method, null, oAcroObject, param);
Here, MyPlugin is the name of the plugin (without extension) which I've placed in the Acrobat plug-ins folder. But this way, InvokeMember returns a NULL object instead of the expected interface of my plugin.
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You don't do it that way.
You need to use standard "inter application communication" methods such as (but not limited to): COM, DDE, shared memory, shared files, named pipes, etc.

How to execute a javascript directly from a c++ plugin?

I have created a photoshop plugin. I need to execute a javascript from the plugin itself. I am able to execute the script if I write the script in a seperate jsx file and execute it using its path(filename). But I need a method to execute script if that script is there as a string within the plugin code. Thanks

Hi,
On what data 'ExecuteScript' works?
Could you develop a filter which creates layers, applies on them some actions using Photoshop's filters (Using 'ExecuteScript') and then continue to work on them?
Thanks.

How could execute acrobat plug-in in command line?

I am using acrobat plug-in to develop my own application.
But I don't want to launch acrobat plug-in feature through acrobat menu item.
Is it possible to launch acrobat plug-in(.api) with command line or outside acrobat?

There is no way to do it from the command line, but you can establish
whatever form of IAC/IPC between your plugin and your external application
as you wish. COM - DDE - IPC - named pipes - shared memory - shared files
- etc....

How to execute My Javascript code from command line or through perl or VB

Hi Forum,
I am a new bie, just 2 days old to acrobat and javascript, and I am basically a perl developer
Here with I have created a small script to merge two pdf
// Create a new PDF document:
var newDoc = app.newDoc();
// Insert doc1.pdf:
newDoc.insertPages({
nPage : -1,
cPath : "/d/sathish/1.pdf",
// Insert doc2.pdf:
newDoc.insertPages({
nPage : newDoc.numPages-1,
cPath : "/d/sathish/2.pdf",
// Save the new document:
newDoc.saveAs("/d/sathish/myNewDoc.pdf");
My code is working fine and merging properly,
Is there any way to execute this script through commandline or using some other scripting languages like perl or through VB
My objective is to automate the merging process without any manual intervention, I don't want to open acrobat manually to execute this javacript, i want to automate that process too,
Please suggest me which will be very helpful to me,
Thanks in advance
Thanks & Regards
Sathish V.

Hi Sathish,
did you find a solution for this? I am looking for the same thing. I want to write a program(perl, batch script, etc.) which could automatically convert pdf to excel without any manual intervention.
I have the acrobat javascript which could achieve this, but it can only be executed in arobat consolt. I need it to be able to get executed in a script to automate the processing.
thanks

How to execute a JavaScript associated with an interactive field?

I need to perform a virtual click from a plugin. Let's say that a set of 3 check box/radio button fields have the export values:
- Yes
- No
- Maybe
I have a script that says that the user virtually clicked on the "Maybe" button. All I have to do is find which of the radio buttons:
radioButton#0
radioButton#1
radioButton#2
contains the "Maybe" export value. So far, this task is very doable. My question is how to perform the following:
I need to call the JavaScript interpreter and execute it, using as an argument the JavaScript code associated with the up mouse even of the button.
Any help will be most appreciated...
TIA,
-Ramon

IF you are trying to do this from a plugin - I would just use Cos APIs to get the appropriate JS from the field's action dictionary and then pass it to AFExecuteThisScript().

Acrobat plugin, "external" links - how to open in _blank?

I understand that the following questions may have been asked numerous times on this and other forums previously. Knowing that software capabilities constantly change with every new release, I wanted to clarify by gaining answers directly to the following questions.
If a PDF document is displayed within the acrobat plugin in any web browser, is it possible to invoke a link within that PDF to open in a new browser window or tab rather than loading in the current window and navigating away from the PDF?
Is there a cross browser solution for achieving this outcome?
Our workflow for producing PDFs involves Indesign, is there a way we can implement this in the Indesign source by inserting Javascripts?
If the answer to (1) and (2) is "No", are there any alternative options for achieving this?
Any constructive insights/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I think part of your problem might lie in the way you are trying to use your quotation marks. It appears you are trying to have the single quotes do what double quotes should be doing.
document.write("<a href='"+imagelinks[ry]+"' target='_blank'><img src='"+myimages[ry]+"' border='none'></a>
If you want to have doublequotes appear in code as doublequote characters you can try slashing them to have them read literally... \"
document.write("<a href=\""+imagelinks[ry]+"\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\""+myimages[ry]+"\" border=\"none\"></a>

How to execute javascript code in VBScript?

I'd like to execute similar javascript code for some particular PDF files(parameters for pagenumber are quite different),such as:

this.setPageLabels(16, [ "D", "", 1] );
How to write the code in VBScript?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I try to add code but end up with error messages

If I remember right, I wrote this script a while back to demonstrate how java script can be direct executed and how you can get back the results. Didn't I wrote a commentary to that?
However the parts you need:
' // Write JS code from help file or whatever to a VBS variable:
JsFromHelp = " this.setPageLabels(0, [ ""A"", """", 3] ); "&vbLF _
& " this.setPageLabels(1, [ ""r"", """", 1] ); "&vbLF _
& " this.setPageLabels(16, [ ""D"", """", 1] ); "
' // Execute the JavaScript
Set AForm = CreateObject("AFormAut.App") 'from AFormAPI
AForm.Fields.ExecuteThisJavaScript JsFromHelp
From the rest keep only:
end if
set .. = nothing
Untested, but should work - as far as you have a little bit more then only Reader.

Acrobat plugin sdk query

Hi All,
when i use acrobat sdk plugin sample in MS VS2005, it is asking "Please specify the name of the executable file to be used for the debug the session", I am not much understand about that, could some one help for, to understand how to use the acrobat plugin sdk's.
-Thanks.

you can run the SDK by first building the project, after successful build go to the debug folder u ill find an api generated, copy the api and paste in the Plug-in's folder(you will find this folder in the source path where you have installed your acrobat software) after pasting run the acrobat.exe you will find your plug-in installed(Normally when you run the sample plug-in you will find the plug in installed in Advanced>>Acrobat-SDK)

How to execute javascript file on event..

Hi... I made a template form. After filling it, when user press the button, i want to execute a javascript code which is in a .js file. What do I have to write in the code related to the button? Thanks

Acrobat JavaScript has some unique objects, properties, and methods that are unique to Acrobat. Adobe has poset a number of documents deatiling the Acrobat's JavaScript.
JavaScript for Acrobat: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html
Acrobat Documentation: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/?view=documentation
The location of the application folder, depends upon the OS and Acrobat/Reader version.
Use or a folder level JavaScript, requires the JS file to be installed on each client computer
To impliment a counter there are a number of ways. The easiest is to use a 'global' 'subscribed' variable. See the August 2004 (issue 34) of the Acument Traing Journal, http://www.acumentraining.com/acumenjournal.html, for information about how to do this.
One can also use the ADBC, Adobe DataBase Connection or a submit to a web server script page to obtain data from a file.
If you want to read and write a file in Acrobat/Reader there are a number of restrictions.
