If statement in PDF form

Problems getting an if statement to work under the custom calculation
TOTAL HPI text field is counting the number for options selected for checkboxes hpi1-8
I want the text field BRIEFHPI to display X if if the TOTAL HPI is >=3
I want the text field EXTHPI to display X if the TOTAL HPI is >3
I've tried various different ways - not working!  any help appreciated!!!!

What ways?
Do you know how to access objects in Acrobat JavaScript?
// get TOTAL HPI field object's value as a variable;
var TotalHPI = this.getField("TOTAL HPI").value;
// reset or clear fields that could be adjusted in case they are not adjusted;
this.resetForm(["BRIEFHPI", ]);
// test the value of TotalHPi;
if(TotalHPI >= 3) {
// greater than or equal to 3;
this.getField("BRIEFHPI").value = "X";
if(TotalHPI > 3) {
// greater than  3;
this.getField("EXTHPI").value = "X";

  • Webpage PDF states This file is a PDF form when no form fields in actual pdf

    I have an acrobat.com account, and when uploading and displaying pdf's in a webpage, even when there are no form fields in the pdf it states that "This file is a PDF form, please download and fill in"
    Even creating a new pdf this state seems to now be the default in Acrobat Pro 8 on my Mac, how do i reset back to defaults so this does not happen?
    See https://acrobat.com/#d=5p8gk446VqZNgeNfbRc8-w
    For what i mean...there are no fields in this pdf....when saving an existing pdf or creating a new one this now happens.
    many thanks

    That's not the only problem looks like adobe.com has problems as well. IF the same site is spoofed with FF useragent, works perfect.

  • PDF forms and how they work with different Reader versions

    I'll start this off by giving a little background information and describing a workflow scenario. I work as an InHouse designer for a company that keeps the majority of the employee population always a few versions behind. Fortunately, for us designers they keep us updated, but it doesn't always play nicely when you're saving your PDFs for older versions of Acrobat Reader.
    What happens is that I create a form in InDesign, export a PDF, and then create my form fields in Acrobat Pro 9 on a Mac. After saving for version 9 I then take the PDF and test within the Windows environment which our IT is enforcing Acrobat Reader 7. The PDF opens ok and I can fill out the form, but I cannot save. I then open in Acrobat Pro 7 for Windows and then it gives the option to save or make modifications.
    My questions really come down to whether or not Reader 7 is doing this because of how old the technology is, or if that would change if our IT would allow Acrobat Reader 8 or 9? Now I've looked at the Acrobat Pro 9 comparison chart and it states "Enable users of Adobe Reader®   (version 8 or later) to fill in and save PDF forms locally." Does this mean that we just need version 8 or 9 and then people can save the form? What in version 7 is causing us not to be able to save? Did that change the technology in some way? I'm trying to figure out if we get IT to upgrade users to Reader 9 if this will solve the issue or will they have to install Acrobat Standard/Pro 9 to save a PDF form?
    What other selling points could we make to our IT department that using Reader 9 is a lot better than using Reader 7? Any technology benefits, security or functions?
    Thanks

    No version of Reader can save a filled in form unless it has been enabled first.
    To enable, open the file in Acrobat then go to Advanced>Enable usage rights in Adobe Reader...
    And for my standard disclaimer, if you are going to use the forms in a corporate environment, be sure to study and understand the usage limits for enabled forms (the limit is 500 uses, but there are caveats to that) in the EULA. Mostly the enabled forms are meant for very small time users. If you do not meet that requirement, Adobe sells another product that can enable files for unlimited uses but it costs in the tens of thousands of dollars and is a server side solution.
    Hey Graffii,
    I enabled the usage rights and that did help with saving in Reader 7. I am a little concerned about the limit of 500 uses. Let me try and understand you a little better. I have a PDF that has a couple form fields and you're saying that the PDF can only be opened 500 times? I've never heard of restrictions on PDFs before. Does this happen after you place just 1 form field? How do I find out more information? I looked in the EULA, but found nothing.
    Also, what does Adobe mean here "Enable users of Adobe Reader®   (version 8 or later) to fill in and save PDF forms locally." Are they saying that you need Reader 8 or later to read a form or that you need Acrobat Pro 8 or later to enable the form feature?
    It's all very confusing because one of the features they tout in version 9 is the ability to save forms locally, but once I enable the form I could save it with Reader 7. It's hard to tell if they are referring to Reader 9 or Acrobat Pro 9.
    Thanks

  • I want to prevent users from saving a PDF form with the data filled in

    I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create a fillable PDF form.  When I open my form in Acrobat Reader XI, it says right at the top "You can save data typed into this form."  I have NOT saved it as Reader Extended PDF. This is a form that will be emailed to recipients or available to download from our website as a PDF so they can fill it out on their office computer, print with the data filled, and then fax or snail mail to us. (No online or email submissions.)  We do not want them to accidentally save confidential information on the form that will be visible to the next user when they close it, or to Save As and keep the filled form.
    I know there are still ways to do it if someone really wants to, like printing it to PDF or using a PDF software other than Reader, but these are not folks who would have time or intention to do such a thing.  99% of them will be using some version of Reader, probably a much older one than mine.  Thank you for any advice!

    Thank you Gilad and George for trying. I just discovered both of you have replied to this issue here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5881211#5881211 - which is my exact same situation; I am also a regional health care agency trying to provide forms for health care providers! (It's a small world.) I just didn't find this thread the first time I searched for answers.  I will investigate the JavaScript reset Form statement. Thanks!

  • Opening and populating a PDF form with VBA code in Access 2007

    I had posted this in Acrobat Windows.  It was suggested this (and the SDK forum) may be a better forum ...
    I'm trying to load and then populate a PDF form programmatically using Access/VBA.  I'm patterning this after code that worked fine in Acrobat 5.0 but is throwing errors in Acrobat 9.  We're using Access 2007 on Windows XP and Vista computers.
    The Access project has a reference to Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Type Library.  Attached is a jpg showing all the references in the Access project.
    The error "Object variable not set (Error 91)" is happening with this statement:
    Set PDDoc = AVDoc.GetPDDoc
    Here is the code I'm trying to use.  I've always been a little fuzzy exactly which objects need to be created and the sequence they need to be created in.  Once I got it working in Acrobat 5 I left it alone.
        Dim WshShell As Object
        Dim myApp As Acrobat.AcroApp
        Dim AVDoc As Acrobat.AcroAVDoc
        Dim PDDoc As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
        Dim PauseTime, Start
        Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
        ' run the Acrobat application within that shell and pass it a document name
        WshShell.Run "Acrobat.exe C:\Users\Christian\Documents\data\dist5\dist05_face_only_nh.pdf"
        '// Set/Get Acrobat Objects

        Set myApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
        ' reference the acrobat document we loaded above
        'Set AVDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
        Set AVDoc = myApp.GetActiveDoc()
        ' this apparently runs some method available to AVDOC
        Set PDDoc = AVDoc.GetPDDoc      '<------------------ THIS IS THE LINE THROWING THE ERROR
        ' this is how you reference the JSObject
        Set jso = PDDoc.GetJSObject
        ' let's clear the form
        temp = jso.resetForm()
        Set x = jso.getField("txt1_name")
        x.Value = "Bing Crosby"
        Set x = jso.getField("txt2_sex")
        x.Value = "Male"
        Set WshShell = Nothing
        Set myApp = Nothing

    Using the "Developing Applications Using Interapplication Communication" reference, I've been filling in knowledge gaps and baby-stepping until I hit this major wall.  FYI:  from page 22 in the reference
    Example 2.6 Displaying “Hello, Acrobat!” in the JavaScript console will not work as shown in Access VBA.  I've tried the example in both Access 2003 and 2007.  The sample code as is throws error 91 (see attachment error91.jpg), "Object variable ... not set".
    I add Set to the following 3 lines:
        Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
        Set gPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
        Set jso = gPDDoc.GetJSObject
    Running the code after adding "Set" doesn't throw an error but it does crash Access every time.  (see attachment error_reporting.jpg)
    Any suggestions?
    Here's the entire code snippet:
    Private Sub cmdHelloAcrobat_Click()
        Dim gApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp
        Dim gPDDoc As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc
        Dim jso As Object
        Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
        Set gPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
        If gPDDoc.Open("C:\chris\acrobat_test.pdf") Then
            Set jso = gPDDoc.GetJSObject
            jso.console.Show
            jso.console.Clear
            jso.console.println ("Hello, Acrobat!")

  • Can't Open PDF form in Adobe Reader 11.0.3 on Mac OSX 10.8.4 Intel

    Hi,
    I hope you can help, this is driving me nuts.
    I have a PDF Form which opens fine in Windows Adobe Reader, when I attempt to open it on OS X I get the following:
    Please wait...
    If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
    You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
    For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader.
    Windows is either a registered trademark or a trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. Mac is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the United States and other countries. Linux is the registered trademark of Linus Torvalds in the U.S. and other countries.
    No matter how long I wait it will not replace this text with the actual form. I have tried installing the latest 10.x as well and still have the same problem.
    How can I debug what is going on rather than just "waiting"...?
    Thanks!

    I'm encountering the same problem on the two computers below. Email attachments will open in the same manner. Attempts to download or open PDFs on the Internet result in a black page with no content or the warning you've noted above.
    Macbook pro 15 running 10.8.4
    Mac Mini running 10.8.4
    I am able to open PDFs on a Mac pro 17 running 10.7.5. I have used airdrop to move the document to one of the above two computers. This results in the original file becoming corrupted and unable to open and the file moved to the other computer will also state that it is corrupted.
    There is clearly something amiss in Adobe and Mac working together. (And it is causing considerable frustration at this point.)
    I should add, I have the full Adobe PDF product on the Mac Mini.

  • Issues with a PDF Form

    I have a few concerns regarding the attached image.  I created a form in LC ES2 and saved as a PDF.
    When I click in the "Hours" and "Notes" column, it displays a drop-down list box. I would like to eliminate the drop-down list box from both columns.
    I set the fields in this column as a decimal.  However, it will not allow me to type $150.00 in it but will allow me to type other currency.  How can I fix this issue?
    Once I save the document into a PDF form.  I would like to protect or keep a user from changing the numbers in the "Hours" and "Rate" column.  How can do this? 
    Please provide some suggestions, and thanks in advance.

  • How to use Acrobat 9 standard to create a PDF form that an Acrobat reader can save

    Hi,
    I'm evaluating Acrobat 9 standard edition. I want to create a PDF with a form that allow Acrobat Reader users to fill in the form and save to their local machine.
    I looked at "Can I save a filled out PDF form using the free Adobe Reader? "
    However, it refers to version 8 and has a link to another page that states to look in Acrobat 8 help. Well I can't anything for how to create right-enable PDF in the help.
    How can I do this in Acrobat 9?
    Thanks.

    I think that the right's enabling was added to AA9 Std. It was not part of AA8 Std as far as I know. However, you need to read the restrictions on the use of the reader rights. There is a 500 form use limit. If you exceed that limit you are supposed to contact Adobe for negotiations for further use. I do not think those restrictions have changed with AA9, but read the EULA to check it out.

  • Clicking "Edit PDF form" stops Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 from working. [FIXED]

    As the title says, whenever I click "Edit PDF form" in Acrobat Pro 11, it displays the message "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then when I click OK it closes.
    It is a fresh install.  I tried reinstalling, by removing it first, i tried a repair, I also tried using Revo Uninstaller to clean up anything that was left after an uninstall, and still no joy.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    It is running on Windows 8.1 Update (x64), and the version number for Acrobat Pro is 11.0.10.
    Thanks!
    **Update**
    While I was writing this I had an epiphany, so I checked the Windows application logs which logged the following error every time Acrobat crashed...
    Faulting application name: Acrobat.exe, version: 11.0.10.32, time stamp: 0x547e97af
    Faulting module name: nvd3dum.dll, version: 9.18.13.4121, time stamp: 0x5474d740
    Exception code: 0xc0000005
    which lists nvd3dum.dll as the culprit.  This has something to do with my Nvidia graphics card or drivers (NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600)
    So after a little research I discovered a little registry tweak which "specifies the number of seconds that the GPU can delay the preempt request from the GPU scheduler. This is effectively the timeout threshold. The default value is 2 seconds." (Quoted from MSDN)
    So I added the REG_DWORD value TdrDelay to the key path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers, and changed the value to 8.  After rebooting this seemed to have solved the issue I was having.
    Here's a screenshot...
    Hope this helps someone!

    We created forms in acrobat 9 pro and now with XI pro cannot edit them.  Error message states that livecycle designer is required to edit forms previously created in acrobat.  Called tech support and waited for over an hour before being told that another product needed to be purchased for $300 more than the upgrade cost for acrobat pro XI!!!  From the XI FAQ - The web site states:
    The following customers are eligible for a free upgrade:
    Customers who purchased a prior license to Acrobat and have purchased an upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro
    Customers who have an Adobe Maintenance and Support contract or purchased Upgrade Plan eligible for an Acrobat XI Pro upgrade
    Active Creative Cloud Complete members whose memberships started before October 15, 2012
    The one-time LiveCycle Designer upgrade is available in English, French, German, or Japanese. Eligible customers can choose which language they would like to receive. Visit the Customer Support Portal to request an upgrade.
    After entering in the needed info on the support portal was told that adobe will Not honor the sales rep & web site which both said we are eligible for the free upgrade.  We asked for a full refund and will not longer be using any new adobe products.  We went back to 9 pro forms work fine and adobe lost $.  Nice work adobe - lie to customers and then act surprised that the customers want their $ back!  They told us to just toss their software DVD in the trash where IT belongs, so we did!

  • How do I retain a PDF form widget's design when setting its value using Javacript in Acrobat?

    I've been experimenting with interactive PDF forms in InDesign and JS in Acrobat. I think I've encountered something that might be a bug: widget design is overriden when using Javascript to set the field's value in Acrobat. Here's what a checkbox, for example, should look like when checked:
    However performing:
    var f = this.getField("Checkbox");
    f.value = "Yes";
    in the JS Console results in the widget's appearance defaulting to acrobat's:
    I've tried every single widget property documented in Acrobat's Javascript API Reference to no avail. Initially, checking/unchecking using the mouse works fine. Once the value has been set using JS, Acrobat's default black check character is used for all subsequent toggling, including when using the mouse...
    How does InDesign export interactive PDFs with custom icons for widgets? Is there any way to enforce the use of those icons using JS in Acrobat Pro? What's the difference between selecting a checkbox or a radio button using the mouse and setting its value using JS?

    I thought it might be the case, too, but all widgets have the same properties both before and after setting the value with JS. I did this check using all documented properties in Acrobat JS Reference in an attempt to figure out what might be going on.
    By the way, I don't think Indesign necessarily uses glyphs for the checked state of widgets, although in this case a glyph is used (albeit with different stroke and fill colours for the glyph, acrobat doesn't allow setting these properties AFAIK). With Indesign CS6 it seems you can practically use any Indesign tool to design the widget's On and Off states. So I'm thinking that maybe Indesign exports these with button-like properties where there are no restrictions on appearance (I think there is an "icon" property/object for buttons or something like that). However Acrobat treats them as checkboxes, so if that is the case it is more of a hack. Is there a way to probe an object's various properties other than using JS or the properties pop-up dialog?

  • Saveable PDF Forms - Acrobat Standard or Pro?

    We need to create PDF forms where users can fill them in and then save the completed forms (just simple forms, mainly text but also some checkboxes). I know this is a feature of Acrobat XI, but unless I'm just being blind I can't find anything that states explicitly that it is a feature of the Standard version, do we need the Pro version or will Standard do the job? I think it is in Standard but I want to check before we buy it then find we have to upgrade to Pro!
    Thanks in advance.
    Matthew

    Thank you for the reply.
    When you say Reader-enable the form, do you mean to allow the user to use Reader to type onto the form and save the changes? I have found some things that imply that Standard can do this, but others that imply that we need Pro.
    Just to clarify, we don't need digital signatures or anything like that. We have application forms for our products where the introducers who sell the product want to be able to complete the client's details, save the form and e-mail it to the client who then prints it off, signs it (we still need wet signatures unfortunately!) and returns it. From what I can tell the necessary feature was part of Acrobat X Standard but I want to be sure that it's part of XI Standard before we buy it.
    Many thanks

  • Using importdata to import xml data into dynamic PDF form

    Hi again,
    Me and my colleagues have a problem using the importData service to import some xml data into an empty PDF form (represented as an XFA input variable).
    In the server log I get the error that Only XDP data is supported for XFA forms, however I only have the xml data and not the entire xdp available.
    Is this really not possible to to (like importing xml data to a form is possible in the Designer when creating forms).

  • Fill a PDF form via Excel (VBA) - Hide text box

    Hi,
    i already created a PDF form and also can fill the text boxes with Excel VBA.
    Now i'm about to hide some fields if they are empty, but i have no clue how to.
    My code to fill the fields is:
    Fields("Title").Value = Worksheets(TabName).Cells(actCell, 4).Value
    To hide a field the code should be similar, but i have no clue what statement i need to set.
    I already tried:
    Fields("Title").Visible = False
    Fields("Title").Hide
    Fields("Title").Hide = True
    What else can i type to hide and unhide the fields?
    Looking forward to hear from you.
    Thanks a lot.

    Does the form have a provision to insert images (e.g. a Browse button)?

  • Emailing a PDF Form

    Hi everyone,
    I have created a form using Acrobat Pro XI. The form is viewed in Reader by end users which they can complete and save.
    At the bottom of the form I have 3 buttons. Save Form, Print Form , Clear Form. They are all working fine.
    I would now like to add an extra button called Send Form that enables end users to send their completed form to the appropriate recipients. If possible I would like the following steps to occur
    User clicks Send Form
    Outlook (or other mail software) opens a new email
    To: field is automatically populated with email addresses eg say Payroll and Finance
    Subject: line is Populated with Staffing Action Form - [Action Requested] - [Employee Name]
    Attachment Field; contains the attached completed Staffing Action Form
    In the message body the text The attached Staffing Action Form has been completed and submitted for action.
    * The [Action Requested] is a drop down field within the form
    * The [Employee Name] is a text field in the form
    Also is it possible to send the email to different recipients based on what has been selected through the [Action Requested] value via an If Else or Case statement?
    Is there anyone with experience in sending PDF forms as email attachments that could assist me with the script for this please?

    What you describe is possible by scripting.
    You can read about the "mailDoc" method at:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.505.html
    As a first step, have a look at this tutorial:
    http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/dynamically-setting-submit-e-mail-address
    You can download the example and adapt the script to your file.
    You can also read this earlier thread:

  • Cannot E-Mail a PDF Form w/ a Submit Button

    Hi, I feel really inept at this point and I'm hoping someone can help me (PLEASE!).  My Home Owner Assoc. uses PDF forms created in Nitro PDF, but most users user Adobe Reader.
    When a Nitro PDF form is opened in Reader, everything works as designed (radio buttons, form filling, tabbing, drop down lists, etc.) EXCEPT the Submit Button. The response is "This Operation Is Not Permitted" when the button is clicked.
    If I go to File, Attach to E-Mail, the response is "The e-mail copy that you just chose will e-mail a blank copy of this form.  The blank copy will not contain any data you might have typed into this form" with a button that states "E-MAIL A BLANK COPY".  Obviously this defeats the purpose.  There is a lightbulb TIP that states: "This form contains an email submit button, located on the form.  Clicking this email submit button will email a data file containing data you type into this form", so obviously Reader recognizes the submit button.
    The form works perfectly in NitroPDF (of course) and NitroPDF support says that it is a "problem" on the Adobe end.
    Can anyone help me please?  I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium SP!, Firefox 3.0.11, NitroPDF5.5, Adobe Reader Version 9.1.0.2009022700

    Hi Michael, thanks for this info.  I really appreciate it... I
    just have one point of clarification:  I don't want to save the
    data put into the form at all, just e-mail it (not to be saved),
    similar to printing it out complete with data, then ignoring the
    file.  Is that still not possible?
    Thanks soooo much for your help.  I don't feel quite as inept now
