Adobe won't call me back - Submitting a form does not work

$
0
0

I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form works beautifully. Until the end user hits submit. Then the form goes to their outlook "outgoing" file; they have to hit send. THEN, who knows where it goes because the Adobe Acrobat Pro Tracker claims there have been no responses. Sometimes the enduser gets an email in their inbox and they are told to follow special instructions which also do not work.

 

So Adobe got on my computer and had me open the form in Adobe Cloud; the form worked beautifully, but the user had to scroll all the way back to the top to hit submit - guess what? The button didn't work it does nothing.

 

I scheduled a service call but Adobe hasn't responded and they are two hours late! I need this form to work in the next hour, anyone have suggestions for me?

show/hide textbox on radio button

Cheers!

 

I know that it is an issue that is discussed and solved in various platforms, but i have a very (probably quite simple) issue that I can not solve.

I believe I am missing a small but some important parameter since I am new to js.

 

Basically, I am creating a pdf form in Acrobat.

I have 6 radio buttons in a group (group name: Group1) and each have different names.

Independent than that I have some text field (layer name: "DayMonth-1") that I would like to display (which is hidden in default) if the user selects for example first radio button (layer name: "un_jour_precis" under Group 1).

 

I used the following code as a MouseUp Event for my radio button:

 

var x = this.getField("un_jour_precis"); if (x.value = "Off") {     this.getField("DayMonth-1").display = display.visible; } else {     this.getField("DayMonth-1").display = display.hidden; }

 

But, nothing happens

 

I would appreciate any corrections/suggestions!

Adobe Acrobat Pro DC - Default Page Display settings not working

$

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.  When I first started using it, documents opened at full screen, around 200% zoom.  I changed my preferences immediately to 100% using the below steps.  Up until month or so ago, documents opened up at my preferred default of 100% zoom.  Now all of a sudden everything opens at 200%+ full screen.

Under Edit - Preferences - Page Display, the Default Layout and Zoom is set to Single Page, Zoom 100%

Edit - Preferences - Full Screen - Full Screen Set Up - the box is UNCHECKED for "Fill Screen with one page".

 

The default Page Layout/Zoom are no longer working.  Every new document I open jumps out at me at 200%+ full screen.  I have to go into the actual document properties, change the zoom and save it (if I need to save the document).

 

It's driving me crazy!!!!  I open at least 50 documents a day and this 200% initial view is killing me! Why don't the default view settings work any more??  I read on the forums there was a patch in late August to fix this. When I click "Help", check for updates, it says no updates available.

 

I'm at my wits end and have spent hours searching for the solutions.  Further frustrating me is there no way to directly contact Adobe for help.  All roads lead to the Forums.  We'll see if I get an answer.  It's crap customer service to take money for software and then not provide help when features fail....

 

Adobe - if you can't fix the your default settings to work properly, then why don't you design the software to open docs at 100% not full screen (the most popular preference).

Scanned paper size - Can't get the correct size

I'm trying to create a scanned PDF/A in letter size in acrobat.

If I scan the document using a different software (which can't create a pdf/a) with the same scanner, I get the correct size.

Whenever I create it in acrobat, even if I enter the size manually, the size is incorrect.

Can't print to second printer

$

We are having an issue with some users on our Domain that have mandatory profiles.

 

This is not affecting all of these users which is even more confusing.

 

Each user has 2 printers installed as part of their logon process.

 

In Windows we can see both printers listed and can print test pages to both.

 

In ALL other applications such as Office, IE and other corporate applications we can see both printers and print to them.

 

However in Acrobat Reader DC we can only see the first printer and the second one is not listed at all.  The second printer is a colour printer which is why they want to use it.

 

Windows 7 Pro is the OS.

 

All PC's are patched and we have the latest print drivers for the printers installed.

 

Anyone know why reader only shows the one printer??

Lost in Transfer?

$

I have this document I have been working on. It's a Google doc. Only, the client does not use Google docs.

So I transfer the original document to PDF. Only now I find that once the file is larger than a certain size, the images start disappearing from the last several pages in the transfer.

 

This leaves me with the undesirable option of chopping the document up into parts in separate files. Which breaks the page number continuity, and more importantly, means that the LINKS between table of contents and internal page/section references no longer work, since the pages linked to are no longer there.

 

I have also tried converting it to MS Word, which is... okay-ish... but the formating is a bit off.

 

Does anyone have any ideas??

I work in a government environment where we have to networks, one unclass and the other classified.  I need Adobe Reader installed on a computer on the classified network, but I am unable to use IE to do it. I want to be able to download Adobe Reader on my own computer, burn it to a CD and install it on the classified network machine, which process has already been blessed by my IAO/ISSO.  How can I do this without the downloader wanting me to install it on this computer?


show/hide dropdown fields based on user choice

I am creating an adobe form and have 4 dropdown fields [text1, text2, text3, text4] that are populated by another dropdown box [main_text].  The fields text1, text2, text3, text4 have the same options [option1, option2, option3, option4].  Is there a way to hide an option when it is selected in one of the dropdown boxes?  For instance if a user chooses option 1 in the dropdown box called text1 can that option be hidden in the other 3 dropdown boxes [text2, text3, text4].  Then the same thing when the user chooses an option for text2 and so on.  Eventually by the time they get to text4 there should be only 1 option left for them to choose.

When I do my payroll reports, I download the IRS forms, say f941. They can be filled in. I save them with the name of the quarter... f941-2017-qtr3.pdf.

 

Since the last update, any attempt to open these forms will crash Acrobat.

Hi

I have created a basic form and there is a field that I want to export as text. this.exportAsText(); method works well in acrobat dc pro but not in acrobat dc reader. When I tried to run it via button, it returned this error:

NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.

Doc.exportAsText:3:Field test:Mouse Up

Also, this method was running from folder level script from the global javascript directory but couldn't get pass the security.

 

Also tried it with beginPriv() but again, same error.

I would really appreciate if somebody can point me to the right direction.

 

Thanks

Pdf_custom-size_paper

Hello all,

 

I have encountered a problem with a creation of pdfs out of Word 2016 (Mac). My document has a custom size paper (155 mm x 225 mm), everything is set up in Word and is smooth. The problem starts when I try to export the document into pdf. It automatically turns it into A4. No matter what I do. I tried printing through pdf/Adobe pdf, creating pdf through Adobe Acrobat etc. I can't get it done. Also I can't have Acrobat tab in Word run. When I had Acrobat as a trial the tab appeared in Word, but once I deleted a trial and acquired full Acrobat it does not work. The tab is technically there saying Acrobat, but when I click on it only error message pops up. There is nothing available on that tab. I bought Acrobat specifically to be able to create pdfs out of Word on non-standard paper size. How do I do it now?

 

Thanks in advance for help,

Bogdan
