I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. I have script to change lowercase to uppercase in many form fields on a PDF. But if I return to the field that has already changed lowercase to uppercase, it goes back to lowercase until I exit the field again. These fields are used a lot to copy and paste into other applications and I want the fields to remain in uppercase once they are converted.
Please help!
I am using this to convert to uppercase: event.value = event.value.toUpperCase();
Thanks,
Brandy
hey guys,
I'm getting this error when I click in the check box in adobe. do I have a settings issue or a syntax issue or what? can anyone help?
NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Here is the code
nPage : -1,
cPath : "/G/SYNC/TEMP PM/M2T3/P10779-C.pdf",
nStart: 0
});
I am trying to make it so if a user checks a radio button within a group of 2 (Choice1 & Choice2) the formula within the field "Total" changes.
This is the javascript within the field "Total"
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
if(document.Group1('Choice1').checked)
{
event.value = (this.getField("WSAtotal").value + this.getField("SAandAdd").value);
}
else if(document.Group1(Choice2').checked)
{
event.value = (this.getField("NSAtotal").value + this.getField("SAandAdd").value);
}
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
P.S. I don't know anything about javascript so I have just been Frankensteining this code from around the web.
Hello,
I am in desperate need of a custom script here if anyone knows how to do it. I essentially want the percentage field to automatically fill in based on the fraction, rounded to the nearest integer, show "0" if F2 is "0", and not display "NaN" before it's filled out. I also do not want the error message to pop up "The value entered does not match the format of the field [ P ]"
F1 and F2 will always be a whole number between 0-9, and P will always be a whole number between 0-100.
I've been using (F1/F2)*100 as a Simplified Field Notation, but it keeps showing decimals and displaying "NaN" when nothing has been entered in F1 and F2. Any gurus out there that could help me? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks
I want to be able to have the time/date printed out on a pdf when it is printed. I could be as a header/footer or a watermark. It doesn't really matter. Is this possible? Can it be done in adobe reader. I need to do this on networked pc's and I just want them to print the pdf and it automatically print the date and time on it. The networked pc's only have adobe reader.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have created a new custom stamp and need to add a script to "Batch Processing" to insert this stamp on 1,000 drawings.
The sample script available from the JavaScriptfor Acrobat API Reference inserts a stamp from the "Standard" Stamp File.
The standard stamp file is located in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\plug_ins\Annotations\Stamps\ENU\Standard.pdf
The script needs to be modified to insert a stamp from a custom stamp menu called "Doc Control" and the custom stamp name is "Received".
The actual file which contains the custom stamp is located in the following directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\8.0\Stamps\Doc Control.pdf
Please find below the script which needs revising to include the new custom stamp.
var annot = this.addAnnot({ page: 0, type: "Stamp", name: "myStamp", rect: [400, 400, 550, 500], contents: "Received Stamp!", AP: "NotApproved" }); This part of the script needs revising to refer to the new custom stamp not the stamp in the standard stamp file? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated - Thank you.
Working around the escape character "/". Unfortunately, the original date is fixed-- it comes from a company's website-- so I cannot scratch the variable and set up with double back slashes.
I've tried .substring and .slice too so maybe there's an additional error
Please help!
I am not too familiar with scripting but am hoping someone can provide some guidance or at least somewhere online that will show me how to do this. Here's what I'm trying to do:
I have a text field that I need users to enter a specific number format in. They have three choices of formats but only one type must be entered. If I go by the arbitrary format options, they would look like this: 99-9999999OO, 999-99-9999, or 999999-99999. Now, is there a way to write a script so that it forces the user to enter the text/number in one of those three formats only? I am able to set up an arbitrary mask and get one of them but I need to provide options to the user.
If there is some good reading online where I can figure this out myself, let me know. Otherwise, any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dustin

Hello,
I am very new to JavaScript. I would like to create a checkbox with a numerical value variable activated if the box is checked. Unfortunately, I cannot use the 'Export Value' because I already need to use it for something else.
Any help is really appreciated.

Hi.
I am new to programming for acrobat and I have a very simple task.
I already have an FDF that contains values for various form fields.
I can automatically populate the form fields just by pulling up the FDF for the associated PDF in Adobe Reader - no problem.
When the user saves the data, I need to export it to FDF - that is the problem.
This is not a server app - it is a desktop app.
Can someone please point me in the right direction or provide some sample code?
Thanks!
I have a form for booking appointments and would like the date field to automatically fill with
today's date and to print. I have set the text field's format to "Date" and when I place the cursor into the
date field, today's date shows. It disappears as soon as I tab to the next field.
Does this action require a javascript script to fill and print today's date? If so, where do I find that?
Or is there another way to format the text field (besides typing today's date) to get the current date?
Thanks.

I have 3 fields Tools_1a_pri, Tools_1a_pri_other, Tools_1a_pri_txt.
Tools_1a_pri is a drop down combo with a predefined list. One of the options is "Other". When "Other" is selected, the text field Tools_1a_pri_other becomes visible for users to enter the name of the other tool.
The Tools_1a_pri_txt is a text field with a calculation that shows either text stating that no tool has been selected or the Tools_1a_pri & or Tools_1a_pri_other.
When I select one of the predefined tools, everything works. When I select other, it appears that nothing has changed. It requires that I click on another field before it populates. This is confusing to the user.
Tools_1a_pri Validate code
this.getField("Tools_1a_pri_Other").display = event.value=="Other" ? display.visible : display.hidden;
Tools_1a_pri_txt Calculation code
//if nothing is selected, do the following
if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value.length < 2) {
event.target.textColor = color.red
event.value = "No primary tool identified";
}else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value != "Other") {
//otherwise do this if other is selected
event.target.textColor = color.black
event.value = getField("Tools_1a_pri").value;
}else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value = "Other") {
//otherwise do this if other is not selected
event.target.textColor = color.black
event.value = getField("Tools_1a_pri").value + " - " + getField("Tools_1a_pri_Other").value;
}
My form needs to create an array, sort it and put it in a variable that might need to be used anywhere on the form. I want this variable to be initialized upon opening the document. Is there a way to make a variable global from a docOpen() function for example?
