If either does not exist, then the report document is opened and the user is asked to enter the page length used to truncate the PDFs. The code setup guarantees the user will only be asked to enter this information at the beginning of the Action execution. This is where things get interesting. The response box is displayed inside a while loop. This is a simple technique for ensuring the user enters a valid value, in this case, a number.
The loop will continue to display the response box until the user either enters a valid number or cancels the Action altogether. This second bit is handled by an alert box that is only displayed if the data entered by the user is invalid. The user is asked if they want to continue the process. If they answer "yes," then the response box is displayed so they can enter another number. If they answer "no", then event. The code in that Action is much more complex than what is shown here, but the technique is the same.
In a working script, the popup messages should be more verbose and information about the process should be written to the report document. Try Acrobat DC. Learn how to edit PDF. Get started.

Importing and Exporting File Attachments Sample code demonstrates importing and exporting PDF file attachments from a non-privileged context.
File must be displayed in Acrobat Professional or Standard. To help the user search the documents for specific topics all of the PDFs have been indexed and there is a custom search PDF. This custom search PDF presents the user with a simplified search UI that is specific to the document set. When the user presses the button it stays down until they press it again, and then it pops back up.
In each state it performs a different action when pressed. This PDF demonstrates using toggle buttons on real forms to perform advance form modifications. It will also ignore files that do not have the ". The "User" folder may not exist, in which case it will need to be created manually.
See the section below on the "User Folder" Both folder types can be found by executing a single line of code in the JavaScript Console Window :. More details are given below. These seem like very straightforward and simple steps. Unfortunately, there are a number of issues that may cause some difficulty with all of them, including access issues to the folders in the latest Acrobat versions X, XI, DC and Microsoft operating systems XP, 7, 8, Each issue is described separately in the following sections.
Acrobat only loads the Folder Level Scripts when it is first started. So it must be completely shut down before it will recognize and run the JavaScript in a JavaScript file. Shutting down Acrobat can be a problem because there are many scenarios where it will keep running in the background after the user has "Quit" the application.
For example, if Acrobat is the default viewer for the browser, then an invisible instance is created when the user opens a PDF in the browser, which may run until the system is rebooted. If your code does not appear to be loading in Acrobat, then you may need to force Acrobat to shutdown.
On any version of Microsoft windows, use the Windows "Task Manager" shown below to find and shutdown this hidden instance of Acrobat. These settings may make it difficult to navigate to the Acrobat JavaScript Folders. Also, if the JavaScript is transported with a non-JS extension, then these settings will also make it difficult to modify the file extension to ".
JavaScript files are code files. Most operating systems as well as all web browsers execute JavaScript, so it can be considered suspicious and blocked from being transported. In fact, Acrobat will not allow an attached file with a ". I routinely modify JavaScript files to a ". The best solution for handling this folder, file, and extension visibility issue is to change the system settings with these steps:.
