The JavaScript document tool is missing

Hello

I found this old discussion (see below) - it seems that it never came to a solution.

I have the same problem. I can't find the JavaScript Document tool in my Acrobat X Pro. It should be in the Tools menu. But that's all there is:

The version on my computer is 10.1.3.

Thanks in advance

Advanced menu Option missing

This issue is no answer.

November 3, 2011 11:02

Adobe Acrobat Pro X has recently been installed on my pc. I noticed that some menu options are absent or have moved and I can't find them. I am specifically looking for the Advanced menu option. I searched the Adobe Forums such as the internet and that you have not found an answer concrete.

In the end, I would like to create a field of date text, using JavaScript, which will be self-posting of the current date. Technically, I know absolutely nothing to JavaScript, but managed to find information online. According to the Guide of Acrobat 6 Javascript scripts, the directions say to choose Advanced Options > JavaScript > Document JavaScripts to add a script. How do I do this in X?

Thank you.

Open the 'Forms' category and you will find additional options for the treatment of forms. You create a form or being edit a PDF form to get the tool change to display the task of forms. Once the task of forms, 'Other work' will appear and breast of this set of tasks is the option of "Document JavaScripts... ».

    Or a link to the form or a sample with the same problem.

    You only set the function to run but not executed.

    You should add a line like:

    AtStartup();

    to your script.

    As noted if you have been set "defaultValue" to the fields, then clear the fields would remove any entry present and restore the default values.

    Or you could write a custom JavaScript to clear the fields and then run your startup script.

  • replace the color documents tool or shortcut?

    Hello

    From time to time when I'm exhausted by looking at the screen (I'm an electrical engineering PhD student), I like to switch to high contrast color schemes. But now the to do, I have to through editing, preferences, availability and then click on replace document colors. Is there not an easier way to do this, as a keyboard shortcut key, or if I can't add a tool that does it for the toolsets?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Berker,

    In my view, there is no this keyboard shortcut to perform this task immediately.

    However, you can directly open preferences by pressing Ctrl + K (or command-k if you are on mac) and then access the accessibility settings quickly.

    Kind regards

  • How to change and reload the JavaScript code without restart Acrobat?

    As a programmer, I wonder if there is a better way to do things that I don't yet understand.

    At the moment I write code in Notepad ++, save it in the folder of Acrobat Javascripts, open Acrobat, test the code and find it does not work (no surprise ).

    I then have to close Acrobat, change the code in Notepad ++, save, open Acrobat and still know that this does not work.

    Rinse and repeat for a lot of time, especially at the beginning of a new 'script project.

    The JavaScript debugger is great, but unless there is something I don't know, won't let me edit the code directly in its window.

    As you worked on already I am referring to the folder level scripts, so the JavaScripts 'Document', "The value of the Document Actions" and perhaps even the buttons "Edit all JavaScripts" are in fact unnecessary.

    Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader... is step by step Visual Studio and I don't want them, but please tell me there is a way to write a little more on-the-fly code

    Thank you!

    As a plugin developer I'm very used to this, there no way to make Acrobat plug-ins to recharge. I doubt there is a way to make Acrobat reset JavaScript either.

  • When I'm accommodating the toolbar of the new option to arrange the icons on the toolbar toolbar change several tools come with the words "wrong tool" and have no icon associated with them. What are these missing tools 'bad '?

    When I'm accommodating the toolbar of the new option to arrange the icons on the toolbar toolbar change several tools come with the words "wrong tool" and have no icon associated with them. What are these missing tools 'bad '?

    I see you have fixed this now, but I was about to tell you that you could have accommodated in the 'Bad' by its shortcut "I" tool.

    To save a custom toolbar, get everything the way you want and click on the button space work, click new workspace

    Type a name for the workspace, and check all three options.

    If I have to use a single screen, I use a variant of the Essentials workspace with minor panels collapsed and dock for main panels.  I call this Essentials 2

    It also seems to me that with all these options, it's stupid not to take full advantage of them, so I separate my most used instruments for their own group and double column toolbar to adjust the screen.  I tried to drop in the groups for the most used tool near the document image (right). I love it, but it take some time remembering the new positions.

  • Replace the Image and add text - new edition of content of the javascript tools commands

    With the new content tools Adobe XI of edition, can someone please advise if there is javascript for the following commands:

    • Replace the Image
    • Add text

    Replace the Image

    I have a pdf document with an image that is manually replaced by content (it is a logo) of the editing tools.

    Add text

    The same pdf document has text added manually by the content of modification of the tools as well (it's the same text each time).

    Can someone advise please basic commands javascript I can use to help me get started, because the process described above is very tedious when done by hand and repeated several times a day?

    Script to add text via content editing tool method is the goal, I try to avoid adding a text field, the pdf will be flattened at the end of the process in this way.

    Advice and assistance will be most appreciated.

    Thank you.


    You can use a button to display an image and import an image as an icon of the button file programmatically. You will use the field.buttonImportIcon for this JavaScript method.

  • Why can't change anything after the conversion in .docx?  Missing functions the tool bar?

    Why can't change anything after the conversion in .docx?  Missing functions the tool bar?

    Hi larrys57575985,

    To change a file that you converted to Word format, you will need to download it first and then open it in Word. To download your file, sign in to your account on https://cloud.acrobat.com/files, select the file you want to download and click download at the top of the list of files. Your file will be downloaded in the download on your computer folder. In Word, you may need to click Activate the change at the top of the document.

  • How can I disable the JavaScript debugger in my PDF documents?

    Hello

    I do everything I can to disable the debugger JavaScript in my documents created using Adobe Acrobat. Under Acrobat Edit > Preferences, I deselect (uncheck) 'Enable JavaScript debugger after restart Acrobat', 'Activate interactive console' and 'see the console on errors and messages.

    Yet, when I go to advanced > Document processing > JavaScript Debugger, it starts the debugger just!  How can I stop the debugger to start?  Even after the security application strict password to the document where hardly anything other than open it is allowed, Acrobat still allows me to perform advanced options > Document processing > JavaScript debugger and start the debugger.

    I am operating under the assumption that the debugger can allow people to discover my JavaScript source somehow, so I want to keep the debugger cannot be used.  Even if they can't read my source, I don't see any upside to the debugger opens.  How can I disable the debugger to be selectable from the advanced options > processing of the Document?

    Thank you.  I thought it would be a frequently asked question, but I spent a few hours searching without success.

    Dave

    P.S. I use Acrobat 9.1.  I read somewhere that Acrobat X has more ability to disable the debugger.  I saw a mention of "XFA" in this respect, whatever it is.  In any case, if Acrobat X has additional abilities to disable the debugger, let me know.

    As George says there is no way to prevent someone to extract the scripts in a file, if they really want (even if the security is applied to the PDF document, it takes a more circuitous route to get there), but a lot of people will use obfuscation tools to make it a more painful process for the novice. Acrobat does not support encrypted as a result of Creative Suite (JSX - BIN) files, but there are many tools out there that basically take your script, turn it into a complex of references at random clutter and hex strings, then run using a complex function of-jumbler. It is hackable, of course, but unless your code is worth a fortune, it makes it too much like hard work for most of the pirates to bother.

  • "The document is not valid. The index.xml file is missing.

    I suddenly can't open one of my docs of numbers. I get a msg "'name of the doc' document is not valid. The index.xml file is missing.  I literally had the open document this morning without problem, closed, tried to reopen and now I get this msg... all in the same session of the computer. It began not after an update or anything like that, right in the middle of a session of the computer.  You seem to affect all the docs of numbers.  I can't open an any of them now.  I am running OS X El Capitan Version 10.11 and numbers 09, Version 2.1.

    Hi jg,.

    The case usual this message, it is that the document has been opened in numbers version 3.xx, which converts it into a new file version that uses the file index.xml internal requested by Numbers ' 09.

    You have 3 numbers installed on your machine? This file has already been opened in this application?

    The file was saved to iCloud or opened by the iOS version numbers or numbers for iCloud?

    Recommended 'cure' is to open the file using the 3 numbers, then save as... or export to format Numbers ' 09. As a result, remember numbers to quit smoking (v3) - menu numbers > numbers to quit smoking; by clicking on the red light closed the file, but doesn't end numbers. So avoid open numbers files by double-clicking on the file itself.

    Instead, start Numbers ' 09 (v2.3) and open the file in the application.

    Kind regards

  • Dialog box States: the document is not valid. The xml index file is missing. What should I do?

    Tried to open a file of numbers. Dialog box shows: the invalid document___is. The xml index file is missing. I can retrieve this file? Suggestions?

    Yes, all you have to do is probably make sure you run the version of numbers which is located in your main Applications folder and open the document with this version.  Probably, you try to open it with the old version of numbers.

  • Is it possible to import the same JavaScript document into several PDF documents at the same time

    I have a recurring project where I disable advance click into individual PDF by using a JavaScript document. Is it possible to import this script into several PDF files at once rather than having to manage it at the same time?

    You can create an Action that adds the script. Curiously, the Action would be a JavaScript that uses the doc.addScript () method.
