Generated JavaScript stamp in Acrobat

I use JavaScript to generate a stamp of approval on a form... The code I use is:

this.addAnnot ({type: 'Stamp', page: 0, rect: [500,110,190,140], AP: "#DApproved"})

Seems to work very well, but I have no idea how to work with the coordinates of a rect:...  I was wondering if someone can help me to understand what the numbers are and how to move the stamp on the page...  I can't find the correlation of location based on these numbers.

Any advice?   Thank you very much!

As mentioned, this code is for form fields, not annotations. What you can do, is choose the stamp with the mouse and then run this code in the JS console:

this.selectedAnnots [0] .rect;

  • Function Time stamp in Acrobat pro?

    I made a PDF using Acrobat X pro form to achieve a workflow fairly simple observational study. In addition to the note taking fields I would like to also include buttons to time stamp that I can simply click while I'm observing the workflows in a clinical setting. This will allow me to win an extra step to keep the time I watch the workflow. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    P.S. I tried signatures with a time stamp however included the insertion of a signature process takes too long for my uses use :/

    Here is a simple script that you can use in the mouse event to the top of a button that updates a text called "timestamp1' with a timestamp field:

    Script of a button of mouse upwards

    getField("timestamp1").value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yyyy hh: mm", new Date());

    You can use any format you want. More information about formatting options you can use with the util.printd method is the Acrobat JavaScript reference. Note that this is based on the computer being correct date/time.

  • Custom stamp in Acrobat Pro guard duplication with mouse movement

    Using Acrobat X Pro, if we add a stamp to a PDF document, whenever we pass the mouse (or a pointer on board) it duplicates the stamp in a new location.  This is the new behavior & didn't used to do this.  Someone at - he never see this before or know a fix?

    Looks like you can keep the selected buffer is TIC TAC tool, which means that, after you apply a stamp it automatically generates a new. If you want to disable the right-click tool and uncheck the option "keep tool selected.

  • Acrobat javascript runs in Acrobat, but not drive

    Hello

    I have a file that I created to run a code and fill in a technical drawing. The code I created works perfectly fine on my computer with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC but, when I send it to my co-worker who need nothing updates or calculated. Previous PDFs, seniors, that I sent to him working on his computer. The only difference is now I have added the 'unit weight " table and remove the 4 fields that are not used anywhere in the pdf file (I have kept 2 of them 'flngNo' and 'class' because if I removed them the code wouldn't be updated on my computer either.). Is that what I'm supposed to put in my code to run as well on Adobe Reader? Thanks for all the help, I have attatched the file as well. I don't know if it works well. If not can someone please let me know how attatch a file from my computer on the forums properly? Thanks again and I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

    Yes, the link works.

    The code in this file is very advanced. I guess you have hired someone to create it for you? If so, they should provide instructions on how to use it.

    The only thing I can think of that may be the origin of this problem is the preferences.

    Go to Edit - Preferences - JavaScript and make sure that this security policy"of the global object to activate it" is NOT checked, and that the other checkboxes on this tab are checked. Click OK, and then try again...

  • Can I add a hyperlink to a stamp in acrobat pro?

    I work with plans as pdf and I created stamps to be placed on the drawings. I want to add a hyperlink to these stamps to post a link to another file or document. I can do this "superposition" as a hyperlink. But I really want to be able to save the stamp with the hyperlink intact so that I can reuse them without having to go through the extra steps. Is this possible?

    Thanks in advance, idtwalt

    No, a stamp is a type of annotation, or the comment and interactivity is flattened, once it is placed all of the stamp and size.

  • Popup of user input triggers Acrobat before selecting a stamp

    Hello

    I am trying to create a stamp for my bills. I want to trigger the user to insert the date and rating.

    The problem is that when I want to add the stamp to the document, Acrobat invites me with the popup of entry when I rollover "Dynamic" in the dropdown of stamps, before reaching same list stamps Dynamics. In order to obtain the list of stamp, I have to click OK twice, and then only, I get to the list of dynamic stamp. When I select my stamp finally he invited me again.

    What triggers it? Why? I invited only after that I selected the stamp from the list of stamp.

    I have two fields Date and notes. These are two scripts that I use:

    DATE

    var cResponse = app.response({)

    cQuestion: "insert the date of payment,:

    CTitre: "Date."

    cLabel: "Date:

    });

    If (cResponse == null) {}

    Event.Value = util.printd ("dd-mm-yyyy", new Date);

    }

    on the other

    Event.Value = cResponse;

    NOTE

    var cResponse = app.response({)

    cQuestion: "insert a note comment,:

    CTitre: "Note."

    cLabel: "Note:

    });

    If (cResponse == null) {}

    Event.Value = "";

    }

    on the other

    Event.Value = cResponse;

    That's when the popup is triggered:

    Thank you.

    These dynamic stamps in Acrobat are not insignificant - as you have discovered. Take a look at this tutorial: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/dynamic_stamp_secrets

    The element that is not in your script to stamp is the check for event.source.forReal and the name of stamp. For this reason, your stamp dialog fires even when the user is not this particular stamp.

  • example JavaScript to show/hide layer of BCG in Acrobat DC

    I saw this question a couple of times but not enough answers, so I'll ask a little more precisely.

    I have a listbox with three different option (option 1 is 'Blue', is a 'Green' option 2 and option 3 is "Yellow")

    There are 3 matching layers named BlueLayer, GreenLayer and YellowLayer.

    When 'Blue' is selected in the drop-down list, I would like BlueLayer to show (but not GreenLayer or YellowLayer).

    When 'Green' is selected in the drop-down list, I wish GreenLayer show (but not BlueLayer or YellowLayer).

    When 'Yellow' is selected in the drop-down list, I want to show YellowLayer (but not BlueLayer or GreenLayer).

    My theory is that if I select the box that says commit selected value immediately, I should be able to run a javascript script on the MouseUp command allowing the correct corresponding layer to show.

    Could someone show me an example of what this javascript would look like or suggest a better way to do it?

    I know that Radio buttons are another option, but in the end, I prefer a list because of the design of the form box.

    BTW, I'm new to using javascript in Adobe Acrobat so if I'm completely off base with my way of thinking, please point me in the right direction.  Thank you in advance!

    First, you must use the Validate or Format, not MouseUp events. I prefer to use the old.

    Here's how I'd do:

    var layers = this.getOCGs(0); // let's say the layers are only on the first page of the file.
    for (var i in layers) {
        if (layers[i].name=="BlueLayer")
            layers[i].state = (event.value=="Blue");
        else if (layers[i].name=="YellowLayer")
            layers[i].state = (event.value=="Yellow");
        else if (layers[i].name=="GreenLayer")
            layers[i].state = (event.value=="Green");
    }
    

    If the layers appear on multiple pages, and then you add another loop around the code, to go through all the pages, but the basic concept is the same.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - change Image Compression/quality w / Javascript?

    Hello

    I have a script to the folder level that will merge PDF files using "insertPages" to add a list of PDF files to a new document. The file size is too large, and I noticed that if I go in the PDF Optimization manually and change the Image settings, so the quality of compression is 'low' for images in color and grayscale images, it brings the size of the file where I need it to be.

    My question is, can I do this in my script somehow? I see nothing in the Javascript reference or Acrobat SDK to update the images in the document. I really want to automate this optimization in my script.

    Has anyone ever done this before?

    Thanks in advance!

    Why not first to merge all files into a single PDF file and then crop and

    optimize only one file?

    Then you'll only process a single batch (to collect the paths of the files),

    and a manuscript of level the record to combine the selected tracks, and then crop

    and optimize the merged file.

  • Stamp custom naming

    I created a few stamps in Acrobat X Standard. I then edit the PDF in my stamps folder that contains the patch and add text fields and use javascript to create a custom script colculation when the stamp is used (to bring up a prompt then the user can type the text that will be added to the stamp). The script makes a reference model for the stamp name. The name, which is randomly generated by acrobat when I create the stamp at the start, is heavy. I would like to give the model a unique name that is easier to remember than the random string generated by acrobat. How to achieve this? If I open the pdf file in a text editor, I can find the string but if I change and save the file it corrupts the file. Thank you in advance for your help on this!

    -Ariel

    Make sure that the page is the model is the current page, otherwise what you did right was to create a new model of the page that was active, as opposed to changing the name of a model that already existed.

  • JavaScript causes Firefox to be unresponsive for a few minutes.

    I have a form of Web site with a large amount of dynamically generated javascript that uses jQuery to handle events. When you click on the radio buttons in the form that Firefox 26 cross halfway then stop responding for about two minutes, while showing (not answer) in the title. If I go to: javascript.options.baselinejit.content config and disable the form works very well, if I turn this option FireFox unresponsive courses via the form. It started recently, but I don't know exactly what version is started on, Firefox 26 certainly has the problem for me. All extensions and plugins have been disabled and "Use hardware acceleration when available" is not selected. Also the form works fine in 31 Chrome, Internet Explorer 7, 8, 9 and 10.

    Hey keviga, would you be inclined to produce a new bug for that? You can reference the JavaScript baseline compiler as the problem. I guess that the tricky part is to find what is happening in your scripts that triggers the question.
