PDF with javaScript function from Pro, not fully functional in Reader

Hi,
I followed recommendations to set up a button and apply a javaScript so that when end-user clicks on button, they can upload an image and then save the PDF.
However, in Reader, the file extension drop-down is locked and forces end-user to only have the option of selecting a PDF as their image. I was going for JPG or GIF here at the very least.
Is there anything else I could do, or am I stuck? In Pro, the drop down presents a wide array of file types in which to select from...
Thank you!

Adobe Reader can only insert PDF files as images. Adobe Reader can't convert other files.

Problem saving Reader extended PDF with Javascript functions built in

Afternoon
I have created an interactive PDF in Livecycle with built in Javascript functionality. I need users to be able to complete and save the PDF so have saved it as a Reader extended PDF. The problem I'm having is that when a user completes the form,saves it, and then opens it again the Javascript functionality is not showing despite showing the original selection that the user has made. The Javascript is simply a dropdown menu that will show a different table based on the selection so isn't anything major.
I've trawled forums and this is driving me mad so I'd appreciate some help.
I am using Adobe Pro XI.
Thanks in advance
Ben

Open protected pdf with javascript

Hi
I created a program that opens a local pdf file and shows it with Adobe Reader. I want people to open the pdf file only when using my program.
It's an Adobe Air program so I am able to pass javascript commands to the pdf. Lets say I pass a string (the password) from my Adobe Air applikation
to some javascript function inside the pdf file, at the time my application opens the pdf file, when i it opens. Then the javascript function inside the pdf file should be able to pass the password to some security handler and open the pdf file, without prompting the user for a password.
How do I do this in Adobe Acrobat Javascript ?

Just search for password in the to files i mentioned. I'd already said that I didn't understand the documentation very well, but here's a copy paste:
SecurityHandler Methods login
Provides a mechanism by which digital IDs can be accessed and selected for a particular Security Handler. Through the user interface, a default digital ID can be selected that persists either eternally or for as long as the application is running. If such a selection has
signInvisible
Specifies whether the security handler is capable of generating invisible signatures.
Type: Boolean Access: R
signValidate
Indicates whether the security handler is capable of validating signatures.
Type: Boolean Access: R
uiName
Specifies whether the security handler is capable of generating visible signatures.
Type: Boolean Access: R
The language-dependent string for the security handler. This string is suitable for user interfaces. All security handlers must support this property.
Type: String Access: R
SecurityHandler Methods
been made through the UI, it might not be necessary to log into a Security Handler prior to using the digital ID.
Parameters tend to be specific to a particular handler. The behavior for Adobe.PPKLite and Adobe.PPKMS handlers is specified below.
The parameters cPassword and cDIPath are provided for backward compatibility, or they can be included as properties of the oParams object. This latter method is the preferred calling convention beginning in Acrobat 6.0.

Need Help with Javascript for Acrobat Pro 9

Hello,
I am creating a PDF form in Adobe Acrobat Profession 9. Not having a lot of experience with Javascript, I have found this forum very helpful and have used many of the script examples for other issues I have had. I was hoping someone could help with the following script, I have tried many variations, cannot get it to work.
var ratio = this.getField("ratio").value
var concentration = this.getField("concentration").value
var result = this.getField("result").value
if(ratio.value>=50.00)
{result.value ='PASS';}
if(ratio.value".value>=40.00)
{result.value ='PASS';}
if((concentration.value ==61) && (ratio.value >= 49.25))
{result.value ='PASS';}
if((concentration.value ==61) && (ratio.value >= 39.25))
{result.value ='PASS';}
if((concentration.value ==62) && (ratio.value >= 48.50))
{result.value ='PASS';}
if((concentration.value ==62) && (ratio.value >= 38.50))
{result.value ='PASS';}
else
{result.value = 'FAIL';}
This is just a piece of the code The concentration values run from 61 through 99 and the ratio value varies for each concentration value, there is a high ratio and a low ratio. The result of this field with populate the results field with a PASS or FAIL. This is not working......any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks George. I updated the script to:
// Get a reference to the result field
var ratio = this.getField("ratio");
// Get a reference to the result field
var concentration = this.getField("concentration");
// Get a reference to the result field
var result = this.getField("result");
if(ratio.value>=50.00)
{result.value ='PASS';}
if(ratio.value >=40.00)
{result.value ='PASS';}
if((concentration.value ==61) && (ratio.value >= 49.25))
{result.value ='PASS';}
if((concentration.value ==61) && (ratio.value >= 39.25))
{result.value ='PASS';}
if((concentration.value ==62) && (ratio.value >= 48.50))
{result.value ='PASS';}
if((concentration.value ==62) && (ratio.value >= 38.50))
{result.value ='PASS';}
else
{result.value = 'FAIL';}
However, I am still getting a FAIL result even when the ratio is 50.00 or equal to the passable ratio.

Creating a PDF with a watermark from InDesign CS3

Hello,
I have a question on exporting or printing a PDF file that will have a watermark.
What I'm wanting to do is take a InDesign file (and/or Quark file) and export/print a PDF file that will be in low res and have a watermark placed on it. (for a "Review" copy)
I am aware that I can place a watermark on a PDF file with Acrobat Pro, but it seems like I need to make the PDF file first then place the watermark. I am wanting to do this in the exporting/printing step all at the same time.
Thank you any information.
Scott Isbrecht

OK, maybe I need to reword the question.
I have a full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
I am wanting to take a file/book that is in Indesign/or Quarkxpress and make a PDF file that is in a lower quality/resolution that also has a watermark "review stamp" on at least the front cover, if not on every page. (would like it on every page)
If there is not a way to export a PDF file out of InDesign or Quarkxpress this way, can it be done by printing a .PS (postscript) file and have Distiller create the PDF file?
I would like to keep the InDesign/Quark file "As Is" in a final print ready format, and be able to produce a smaller "review" PDF with a watermark on each page of the PDF file. (watermark on cover page only would be OK)
This way there is no chance of this file making its way to a full scale printer and it being printed with a low quality PDF (review copy).
Any information would help out.
Thanks,

Example of PDF with javascript

We use javascript to customize PDF forms and one of our customers is experiencing performance issues with Adobe Reader 10. If the problem is unique to our form then I can narrow down my troubleshooting. But, if our customer accesses another PDF from another web site and experiences the same issue, I can move my search to Adobe Reader 10. If you know of one, could you send me a link to some public accessible PDF form with javascript? I really appreciate your help!
Greg

Performance issues with Acrobat/Reader 10 are known.
In another thread, it is suggested to update Reader to the newest version. Another suggestion is to deactivate Safe Mode.
There are additional things to look at, but that really depends on the individual form, and many of those points have been common knowledge for quite some time.
Hope this can help.

Links that open a new window with javascript:void(null); do not work in 3.1

I've been noticing that any site I go to that opens content in a new window with "javascript:void(null);" will be ignored by Safari 3.1. The links work in Firefox and used to work in Safari as well. Any suggestions?

General rule of thumb in the Mac universe...
When Safari is updated most if not all third party add-ons break. That's because most don't play by the rules. The developer thinks they know how to do it better than Apple so they just do it their way. So the first rule of survival is to KNOW what you have installed on your machine at all times. Use something like textedit to create a document listing all of the third party stuff you have installed and religiously update the list. Second rule is to wait a few days before applying an update. Third rule is to visit your third party developers' sites and make sure their little gadget is compatible with the new Safari update.
Being aware of things will make life much easier for you in the long run.

Set multiple items with javascript function in chart link

Hi Folks
I am able to use the javascript $s function to set the value of one item from a chart link. I need to pass values to multiple items.
Is there a way to use javascript function to pass values for multiple items on a page from a chart link
Appreciate your responses
Thanks
Gopal

Hi Arnau,
You need to surround your JavaScript code like this (without the spaces before and after script):
< script language="Javascript">
window.open("<%=ABAP_VARIABLE%>").focus();
</script >

Patrick.

Problem Creating PDF with Multiple Files in Pro. 7

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 on a computer with Windows XP.
The problem is that when I try to create a PDF with multiple files everything just suddenly stops. There are 75 files involved and when it gets to around 41 or so (don't know the exact number because I turned away from my computer for just a moment), it just stops. There are no error messages; nothing. Just a blank Acrobat screen.
Last week I had a different problem which was resolved by an uninstall/reinstall and I was able to create the PDF with those exact same 75 files, but after the PDF was created I realised that some changes needed to be made. I dumped the PDF, made the appropriate changes and left it for the weekend. Today I the new problem has arisen.
Any ideas what the problem might be?

I've read many discussions about Acrobat and problems with server files, with the general solution being what you are doing... copy the files to a local hard drive

Cannot print PDF with selectable text from Chrome

Hi All
Fairly recently (since the last chrome update?) I cannot select text in my PDFs printed from Chrome (on my windows 7 machine).
Previously, I had discovered the workaround (print using printer dialog) that is outlined here Google Chrome | Cannot select text in PDF but that solution no longer works, however. Now, even if I follow that method, zooming in shows that the text has been converted to outline and the text cannot be selected OR searched for within windows.
Doing the same print from Internet Explorer yields the expected result - selectable, searchable text.
This may well be a Chrome issue... but considering it makes the above workaround invalid I figured it should be reported. Perhaps Adobe has a big enough voice to get Googles attention.
It's such a massive pain - all PDFs I've created in the last couple of weeks are useless.
Help?
Thanks, Glenn

Agreed.. it is raised there also (Google Groups)... although there are multiple posts on the matter being ignored so I'm not overly optimistic.
I just figured if Adobe cared enough above the issue to write that (now incorrect) help page Google Chrome | Cannot select text in PDF then they (and others) may care to know that particular solution is no longer working.
The only thing that seems to work is Google's own "Save as PDF"... which seems to support your point, unfortunately.

Help with javascript function

I am getting a list of document urls from First Class by a
loop, and I need to know how to save the identity of the one in the
list that the user clicks on. I have tried many methods, but have
nearly succeeded, if only I can solve the following problem. I have
a javascript function called by the onclick method of <a
href>, and I have used ToScript to pass the identity on to the
next page. But I can't put the javascript variable into th
ecoldfusion array. Here's the script:
function getUrlNameFromLink(linkNumber){
<cfoutput>
var #toScript(XMLContent.rss.channel.item[3].link.xmlText,
"jsURL")#;
</cfoutput>
alert(jsURL)
This gives the correct link to the alert, if I hard-code the
3 into the bracket. How do I use the linkNumber variable
instead?

well, using AJAX, and if your cf array is stored in a
persistent scope
(i.e. session), you could actually do it...

Macbook pro not fully charging

My macbook pro is less than one month old and it started not fully charging a few days ago. It was at 97% when the light turned green, and wouldn't go up any more. I always have my keyboard light off & the screen light very dim so don't tell me to lower it. I then decided to calibrate the battery and it charged 100% but I unplugged it for a little bit and it dropped to 99% and will not go up anymore. The charger light is green and it thinks it's fully charged. What is going on?!! this is new!

Normal behaviour. See below.

Select tag with JavaScript function

I am using a selectOneMenu tag for navigation. After the selection I use a button to go to the selected page. I would prefer to go to the selected page without using an additional button. I think I have to use a JavaScript function with the attribute "onchange". How does this JavaScript function look like?

I use something like this, it works fine
<h:selectOneMenu id="selectedEndorsement" valueChangeListener="#{engageListServiceBean.changeEndorsement}" value="#{engageListServiceBean.selectedEndorsementNum}" onchange="submit()">

Need to create pdf with thumbnail pages from InDesign

How can I create a pdf with multiple InDesign pages on each sheet (thumbnails)? I have snow leopard, cs6. Thank you.

On a Mac, the way I like to do it is to start by generating a PDF from INDD. Open the PDF in Apple's "Preview" app. Ctrl+P. There are all sorts of options for layout — including "Pages per Sheet" under the layout option in the menu. Then, at the bottom left-hand of the print dialog box, you'll see the PDF button. After you've made your page-layout decisions, click PDF and choose your options for PDF delivery.
In the instance documented with the attached graphics, I selected "Mail PDF." The thumbnailed PDF is created and attached to a new email.
Maybe this helps.
