JavaScript in the PDF: catch the copy event

Hi all!

I hope it's a good place to ask my question.

I have two questions about PDF documents.

First of all. Can I put the text of copy of Acrobat Pro/Reader with spaces on the left? I mean if there are a few lines of text and the beginning of this one, there are some spaces, that when I'm trying to copy this line - I will take only the text and no spaces left.

For example, I have a line:

Some text here

and after that I'll copy from PDF and paste it into Notepad, I'll do the next row:

Some text here

Can I change this behavior somehow?

In the second place. I want to put a page number in the buffer when copying. So, if the number of page 5, there is a line I'll copy, paste then I want to get something like this:

Page 5

Line coppied

I tried to use JavaScript for this, but I have not found a way to solve my problem. It is possible at all? And, if possible, in wavy should I take a look?

Regarding

Viktor

Actually, it is not the right place for this question. It belongs in the forum script Acrobat...

But anyway, the asnwer to both these questions is no.

The position of the text in a PDF document is not created by adding spaces or tabs in front of him, so you can't copy when you copy the text.

Happens the same for JavaScript, which can get words of the text.

JavaScript can not 'catch' the exemplary event. The closest you can get is to execute the menu item Edit: copy through execMenuItem() of JavaScript, but you do not disrupt the text copied, so you cannot add the entered page number.

  • The execution of Javascript for the onchange event of Rich text editor field

    Hello

    I have a piece of javascripts that warns users when they try to move away from a page with unsaved changes (if they change all fields in a form). The code works for all types of fields except for rich text editors.

    I think that the reason might be (not 100% sure) which is the form element when users type in their changes is nested inside an iframe html document, and my jQuery onchange event trigger nested inside an html document changes.

    Dynamic measurements also do not work if you create a simple rich text box and write JavaScript codes in onchange events fire.

    I use the current trial of Acrobat DC version. I opened a PDF I created in Corel Draw by publication in PDF format. I tried to copy and paste text from it to a Word 2007 document. The copy option was available, but when I went to the document and chose paste, it was nothing. I then tried the same thing but sticking in a document of Corel. The same problem. It seems that the text has been copied, but I'm unable to paste it into another program. Is this real?

    Is it permanently available text? (Can highlight you)?

    This seems a strange way of working well - why not copied from the draw to Word?

  • How to remove the copy of an image in a pdf document

    I'm trying to figure out how to remove the copy of an image of product figure in a Board tech in PDF format.

    It is not possible to do. If the text is a part of the image, it is not possible. If it's live text superimposed on a picture, you can remove it, but you would need the full version of Acrobat and not the free player.

    Who would assume also there is no restriction on the possibility of modifying the document.

  • JavaScript in the PDF form does not online

    With the help of this forum, I was able to create a PDF form that was javascript.  The javascript has been essentially if then statements. The person selects 'A' in the menu drop down one then they get 'B' or 'C' in the menu drop down two; If the person chooses "D" in the drop-down list a they get 'E' in the menu drop down two etc...  It works perfectly on my desk.  However, I tried to download it from our Web site and the javascript code does not work.  It allows the person to select a choice from the drop-down list of a but no matter what they choose dropdown two has nothing to select.  I have to do something special to make a PDF with javascript works on a Web site?

    I use a PC running under Windows 7-64 bit operating system and try using Chrome and Firefox.  I have problems with Internet Explorer now.

    Two of these browsers have their a viewer plugins PDF internal with very

    bad support for JS code. So, if you use these plugins and not the

  • What is the best way to catch the change event of Focus of the field on the screen.

    Hi all

    I want to trace the change event of focus field, since my setFieldChangeListener and FocusChangeListener domain for a specific use. I can't put that kind of receiver.

    I want to use fieldChaneNotify, however, it does not call at the level of the screen.

    Is there a better way to track field focus change listener?

    I tried fieldChangeNotify and moveFocus... negative screen level...

    Thank you

    Sorry not sure I understand this.

    From what I understand, your problem seems to be that your field only supports a FocusChangeListener, so you can not add another.  Extend the scope to take in charge several FocusChangeListeners and is not your problem solved?  This seems a more elegant way that attempts to manipulate a change mechanism.

  • LiveCycle - javascript/hide the entire table

    I feel like I'm going crazy,

    I have a box and a table onto a PDF LiveCycle form, when I select the checkbox I want a table to appear and when checked, disappear.

    I've simplified the document to view CheckBox1 (checkbox in the Standard menu) and Table1 (Standard menu table), I enabled javascript in the script window for all events on the change event for the checkbox is entered the following code

    if(this.rawValue == 0){
       form1.Table1.presence = "hidden";
    } else {
       form1.Table1.presence = "visible";
    }
    
    

    If I put the init script

    form1.Table1.presence = "hidden";
    
    

    The picture is not visible, as expected, but the checkbox method does nothing... I watched a video on YouTube and followed a detail, even to copy his example and my system does nothing! arghhhghhghghgh...

    What did I miss? Thank you

    Thank you all for all the tutorials I have read and watched that everyone failed to mention the types of files until they started.

    My form was set to STATIC, which means he would only once, my code was good, but the page is not simply rendered so it seems do nothing. The dynamic parts, or the entries in the fields seem to be that the only things affected on static forms where the behavior that I mentioned in one of my previous comments.

    I had already tried a dynamic form that does not work either, but you need to do the following setting changes to make it work...

    1. Open LiveCycle-> tools-> Options-> Document manipulation
    2. Change "Default File Type new forms" in "Dynamic XML Form" (so that you can never suffer at the hands of this evil yet!)

    Then fix your insight into LiveCycle

    1. File-> properties of form-> by default-> render PDF Format
    2. The dynamic 'Form XML' value
    3. Go to the tab "Overview".
    4. Set the Type of preview for "interactive form.
    5. The value of preview Adobe XML form as the "dynamic XML form"

    And bingo... Hope this helps some other noob. Thank you again Broklynite alassir

  • Binds the exportXFAData(); method for the saveAs event

    I have an XFA form that was built with LiveCycle and I try to write javascript to Adobe who will export the form data to an XML file whenever a user manually saves the file in Acrobat. Preferably, this feature is easily sharable, because I have clients who need to have this ability.

    I'm a novice, but it seems that the interactive objects are grey and so I can not add a custom button. That's why I hope to link the exportXFAData(); method for the saveAs event. When a user does CTRL + S or file > save (sub)... the XML should be exported to the desktop.

    It seems that I have to use the exportXFAData() or exportAsXFDF() method.  I found something that says: " it is a very simple process to do this, use the method saveAs Doc object... " and copy the following code:


    this.saveAs ("/ c/temp/test.xml", "com.adobe.acrobat.xml - 1-00");

    I do not know where to write this code, or if it must be adapted (not to mention that the path) to accomplish what I asked above.

    Thank you very much,



    Carl


    It does not export form data, as far as I know, but another schema. There is a different method for acroforms export but I don't know for XFA forms. You should check the reference XFA JavaScript, not google.

    The example you found is not in any way binding to the SaveAs event. Rather, it uses a special feature of the document.saveAs method that allows you to save/export other formats instead of PDF, such as file options > save as. The code generally added to a button, but do not work (see below). I don't know if you can run this in an event WillSave or similar, that; s a separate exercise.

    Don't forget to read the XFA JavaScript document for this method since it will have security restrictions designed to stop incorporating any kind of back up/export to a file - because think havoc if a PDF file that you have downloaded begins to silently save/export the files to your computer. Do not try to use acroform rather documentation! And I see that what you quoted DC Acrobat SDK Documentation applies to the acroforms.

    For more specific help, I suggest the LiveCycle Designer forum. We are dealing here Acroforms.

  • How to disable the copy - paste in af:inputText

    Hello

    I had an obligation to disable a user of the operation to copy - paste into an af:inputText field.

    Thank you
    Amit

    Hi Amit,

    Welcome to OTN.

    You disable the control keys and right mouse click on the text entry using javascript and the client listener.

    For ex.

            
              
              
              
                function disableCtrlKey(e) {
                  if (!e) {
            var e = window.event;
        }
                  characterCode = e.getKeyCode();
                  if (characterCode == 17 ) alert('Control Keys are not allowed');
                  else event.cancel();
    
                }
                            function disableContextMenu(e) {
                  if (!e) {
            var e = window.event;
        }
                  alert('Cannot invoke context menu');
                  e.cancel();
                }
    
              
            
    

    Will give the user a warning when they use the CTRL / right mouse click on the text field.

    But what happens if the user selects the browser-> copy edit and modify-> menu Paste?

  • QML: calculate the time interval between the touch events

    I create a custom button that is activated by a key event, in this way:

    Container {
        property bool pressed
        signal clicked...
        onTouch: {
            if (enabled && ! event.isMove()) {
                if (event.isUp() && pressed) clicked()
                pressed = event.isDown()
            }
        }
    }
    

    The problem with this approach is that if the user clicks the custom button several times in a short period of time the click signal is triggered several times too. This does not happen if I use a regular button or an ImageButton.

    I was thinking about getting the timestamp of the event and fire the only if clicked event grit touch after at least x milliseconds since the previous event. The DIF is that I couldn't find a way to calculate this difference in QML.

    Any suggestions?

    You could also follow the time of the last event with the Javascript date.

    lastTouched = new Date().valueOf();

  • User of BB audible alert on the web event

    Hello

    I have a problem that probably needs a Java of BB application to fix but would like confirmation before I dig in - development of BB is new to me.

    I run a web page accessible via the BB browser to warn drivers of trucks of changes to their itinerary (new stops to make, etc.). This works very well, but requires the driver to see the page at regular intervals to ensure that it did not miss all the new events. To avoid this, I would like to generate some kind of audio signal whenever new events occur.

    From what I see, there is no way to do this via the web application, javascript support BB being what it is (feel free to correct me on this). Send an email or an SMS is not acceptable because of possible delays. It must be in real time. Rattling of the people through BB Messenger is not an option either because I can't do it programmatically (and Yes, I know web2pin but there is a significant delay there as well).

    I think to do is:

    1. server-side: expose a web service doing nothing more that inform a driver of new events require his attention.

    2. client-side: run a small application of BB that periodically checks the web service and beeps/rings /... as soon as new events are present.

    It would be the best way to go about the generation of my audio signals in real time

    More than two notes: I want to steer clear of any solution which requires additional software (expensive) must be installed. And I'm not fussy about the kind of audio signal. It may be a ringer, integrated signal, custom mp3 sound which is easier to implement.

    Thanks for the pointers you can give me!

    What you describe is possible on a BlackBerry handheld.  If you do not have a web service for your application already, you can avoid this additional overhead and have the BlackBerry app just to read a page of data from your web server.  As do a HTTP connection to something like yourserver.com/driverPages/getRoutes.php?driverID=1.  It is too simplify the URL, but should give you an idea.

    What is a consumer application accessed by several companies or an Intranet application?  If it is an Intranet application that has access to BlackBerry Enterprise Server to the pilot, your request may push data to drivers in real time when a route has been changed.  It's more effective (do not turn on the radio to query for updates) and provides updates in real time.  You can read on push here:

  • How to intercept the Message event opened on existing messages Inbox

    I asked in this thread for a way to override the event open Message in the Inbox so that I could see a message personalized with my own Viewer.

    Doug suggested that I create a folder and message listeners to intercept events that interest me.

    It works partially. The FolderListener can detect new messages coming, but he does nothing with the existing messages, so, in my app initialization, I loop over the existing messages and look for those to whom I want to fix a messageListener.

    I reinforced with the code and see that the headphones are fervent. But the modified (event MessageEvent) method never fires on existing messages when I opened the. It fires only on messages received recently.

    How can I catch the event message open for existing messages?

    Also, when I catch the event on new messages, it opens my custom desktop, but when I go back to the list of messages, he had also opened the message with the default mail Viewer. Is there an equivalent to CONSUME_CLICK a button to say that if I got trapped in the event to just make my personalized treatment and not the default behavior?
