The use of Javascript to reset a form during the loading of the document

I am trying to reset all the field values in an acrobat form default values, when the form is loaded initially.  I am trying to use the resetForm() method in a document-level script, but not having a chance.

I was able to reset the fields after the user input such as a button that resets the form or script will reset a form before you import the data in the field... but I have to make sure that all data is removed from the form when the form first loads all

Any ideas?

You don't need a script to the folder level. Simply embed the resetForm() command

in the document. It will launch when the file is opened.

  • How to use Acrobat JavaScript to perform digital signature (e-sign) in several PDF documents?

    With this script, I can perform the signature batch:

    Hi guys,.

    When you type information in a form in the DC or Pro Player I can enter text with fields of text etc and then save, close and return later to change the form. However once I use the function "Fill & Sign" to sign the document, and then save, it locks the file and all other fields become editable. Is there a way around this to remove this feature where it becomes locked and instead allows me to change the form after a signature is applied and saved. All the security properties of the form are on 'admitted', there is no restriction. Even though the document is locked all the properties remain still as 'authorized '.

    The signing is FINAL.  You cannot sign a PDF paper advance. Complete and save, do not sign.

    I'm new to Javascript, please go easy on me.

    I have a form with several boxes on it.      I have a block of javascript code that I want to run any time one of the check boxes on the form is enabled or disabled.

    I know that I can put javascript code in each box properties, but it seems that there should be an easier way to do it.

    Can I create one subroutine somewhere else and call it from javascript for each text box code?

    If I can create a subroutine and call from each text box, where should I put the subroutine?

    No, do not change the code. The function should be integrated as a script at the level of the document.

    The call to the function, this is what you call your reset button.

    You must provide the page number is 0-based. Then to reset page 25 enter this code as the MouseUp event of the reset button on this page:

  • The use of password for show/hide forms - anyway to keep the setting "does not print?

    I have a George_Johnson script that allows me to enter a password to show/hide the fields selected (keys actually).  It works perfectly, but when I enter the password and buttons appear again, setting general/Common Properties amounts to 'visible' instead of ' visible but does not print ', and the buttons appear when I print the document.  I thought I could change these lines and print buttons...

    case 'password': / / your password goes here

    getField("x").readonly = readonly;

    getField("x").display = readonly? Display.Hidden: display.visible

    App.Alert ("level 1 support is now" + readonly_desc + "d", 3);

    break;

    .. .to change the 3rd line to read as follows: getField("x").display = readonly? display.hidden: display.visible but does not print  (or _but_doesn't_print;)

    but then I started to make syntax errors in the 4th line.  I don't know about Java, but I thought I might get lucky.  I get hot?  What is the "3" that needs to change?  Or is that I started quite wrong?

    You can't guess correctly that the value can be and expect it to work... You should consult the documentation.

  • Flatten the Document with JavaScript

    Long story short, I want to flatten PDF using JavaScript forms. With a combination of AcroScript and PowerShell, I made many automation which creates filled in advance forms from a CSV file. Now, I want to combine forms generated in a single PDF file (especially if I can eventually print generated both forms daily). Set all fields to read only not avoiding all fields with the same name to replicate with each other. For example, I may have a form field called customerName and PDF forms for each clients John, Mary and Sally. So when I combine all three PDFs there are now three fields in this single document named cusomterName and the value of each field will be John (instead of John, Mary and Sally). Flattening of the document is the only way I can think to avoid this problem. I can do it manually, but I'd like to integrate this into my AcroScripts. How do flatten you a document with AcroScript or if anyone out there has another solution for my situation I'm all ears.

    I use Acrobat Pro XI on Windows. I can't use any kind of cloud solutions due to my employer's strict security restrictions.

    Thanks in advance.

  • At the level of the document javascript quandry

    OK, completely clueless newbie here only the coding experience is VBA Access... a few years ago. Need to write Javascript to do this job - it's the value of one month of a migraine.  I ask for your patience and I would ask forgiveness in advance for headaches that I lead as you try to figure out my problem (s).  In addition, I don't know how to copy paste images or examples of code, but I'll do my best.

    Then, base premise: do a drop-down list box drop-down list 31 points in the 'Inventory parts' list which will fill another area combo based on what has been selected in the first box - in this case, and a total of 427 respective in the other sizes list.

    YE S, I have already looked at this example of http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/js_list_combo_livecycle1 and closely followed.  Took me forever, but I got it to work somehow. Was very happy.  The only thing I couldn't understand was export value b/c mine was not a number.  But I solved that by bringing together the CodeID and the respective PartSize (ex: 4 inches hydrant arise as "FH-01: 4"). in any case, I chose this line of work and choose the "place multiple fields" option time 15 lines.  Still works.  I'm dancing a jig. Then I tried to check on the code:

    'Text cannot be displayed in its entirety by the Edit dialog box.  Please use an external editor. »

    UH... So I deleted a line at a time until I could see what was my limit.  I had to cut 15 lines to a meager 3 rows.  Took me awhile, but I could see where the problem was.  Instead of being written in the JS at the Document level, my table was related to striking event of the first box drop-down list in the field.  Then when I multiplied the lines, this gigantic list essentially had diarrhea.

    I tried to delete this header and keep it at the level of the Document.   Basically, she ignored me and keep those lines.  When I got to the Document-Level <>on top, it just doesn't work.

    So I guess my question is this: who IS 'Edit Document Javascripts"really necessary?  B/c I looked and I don't have it. I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, ver 9.5.5 (and I use Windows XP Pro version 2002, if that matters).  This JS Editor is only available for the Pro version?  It would really be a bad thing to leave it alone as a key event (except heavy large, duplicate codes he vomits accordingly)? Or perhaps, is there a way to code a new line on the spot?  I remember seeing an example where you can add more rows than necessary, but I can't for the life of find me.

    Thanks in advance for all your help.

    The "Document JavaScripts" is only available with the professional version.

    The "Document all JavaScripts" contains special XML tags that must be maintained or your form may become completely unusable. Advanced programmers can use this to change quickly to a variable name that appears in many different scripts in a PDF file, but still they will have a problem if they accidentally delete one of the tags.

    For efficiency with large PDF forms and forms with a large number of scripts, it makes a difference. First the document level scripts are fully processed only once and not whenever the field is used in a calucation.

    You can use the addScript method to add a script as script document level, but standard users won't be able to see.

    You could put the script in the Page Open action and for a form of page 1 that would be as processed as a document level script.

Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    Function "Activation reader" comes from the original shape, and it's essentially a digital signature. It is specific for the free product of Viewer PDF by Adobe (aka Adobe (Acrobat) Reader).

    The problem is that only Adobe products are able to (re) make these documents without breaking the seal of the digital signature.

    So, what happened in your case is the Foxit Viewer broke the seal during the recording of back and what's. Using Acrobat, you can save a copy of the form, and then continue will fill. Otherwise, you will be better off to start over, but stay with viewers Adobe PDF all the time, working with the form, or with a different Viewer, once again all the time you work with the shape.

    BTW, player XI and most recent no. have more need of extended for more rights blocked by previous versions of Reader. This is not enough in this case; only, it would be useful for the sender of the form.

    Update (after rereading of the original message): if it's just for viewing or print the form, you can ignore this message. You can also try to save just, you have a version of player who no longer has the rights extended (at your risk).

    I hope this can help.
