In adobe acrobat I want to make a pdf file in which when the user is going to open it,it shows some content and asks user to click on agree or disagree button.When user click on agree button it shows original content of file and when click on disagree button the file automatically be closed without showing the original content.
Please tell me how I do the same by using adobe acrobat tool.
In the PageOpen event of the page where the document opens, initiate an alert with Yes and No as answer. Evaluate the response, and in the case of No, close the document without saving.
You might have a look at the Acrobat JavaScript documentation (which is part of the Acrobat SDK, downloadable from the Adobe website), in particular the entries about app.alert().
And that should do it…

I have a page with embedded PDF.
<object data="/files/documents/somepdf.pdf" type="application/pdf"></object>
The embedded PDF has a form that user can edit.
This PDF view has a button (top right save/print icon) that allows user to download edited document.
Question - is there a way to manually download or save edited PDF with JavaScript?
My goal is for user to be able to click on "Submit" button and it takes the filled out form and sends it to some API end point in my system.
Question - is there a way to manually download or save edited PDF with JavaScript?
That's a loaded question, As with ALL PDFs the Form has been downloaded into the users browser or external pdf viewer, so no your JavaScript cannot touch it, see the downloaded address at the top.
The other implied question is can the file be saved after edit by the user clicking the icon, and that answer is perhaps. See the Adobe banner when a user attempts to edit the restricted form.
Thus the user must print the form with handwritten entries and signature, then mail it using their choice of US snail mail or web mail provider.
It also depends very much on which Browser and form they are using since here the user Fred has printed some entries and thus can continue another time after going bowling
Note the forms layout has changed overtime. :-) and the wrong surname that needs re-edit later.
Is there a way to use javascript in Adobe Acrobat DC to open a specific Navigation Pane? I've been struggling to find suitable documentation for this, so I'm asking here.
I've got a button that allows a user to attach documents to the PDF file, which works great. The issue here is that I can't set the attachments pane to stay open. I can execute the menu command to show/hide attachments, which works great for one attachment, but then as soon as you add the second attachment the pane closes, which is less than ideal (and then it opens with the third attachment, closes with the fourth, etc., etc.).
Is there a bit of code that can solve this issue, or some other setting in the document that will achieve the same effect automatically? Please note that my end users are not the most tech savvy of folks, so some way that minimizes button clicking to display the attachments is ideal.
I was researching the same problem and came across a solution using this undocumented function.
Right click on the button and go to Properties.
In the Actions tab, under Select Action choose Run a Java Script. Click Add and copy and paste this text:
this.viewState = {overViewMode:7};
It works perfectly.
Is there a way to use javascript in Adobe Acrobat DC to open a specific Navigation Pane?
No. Acrobat JavaScript cannot control the navigation panes.
This is somewhat of a return to my 2012 question - Is it possible to fire a keypress event for an iframe that has been used to load a PDF file, I think I may have been mistaken accepting the answer there.
The current situation is this -
The document of the main page has an onkeypress event attached to it which will load a PDF into an object when the user scans a particular barcode.
The PDF is created using iTextSharp and has the open action set - writer.SetOpenAction(new PdfAction(PdfAction.PRINTDIALOG)) (writer is a PdfWriter).
So a user will scan the barcode which automatically loads a PDF file which opens it's print dialog. The user will then choose the printer and print the PDF. The problem comes when the user wants to scan the next unit they need to click somewhere within the html body (but outside of the PDF object) and then scan the barcode for the new PDF to be loaded.
I had a look at this and saw that it is possible to setup some kind of communication between the PDF plugin and the browser but is is possible to tell the plugin to surrender control to the browser/javascript
EDIT
Some extra background information -
I've tried using both objects and and iframes.
Using the debugger, if I type document.activeElement.id gives the ID of an element an appropriate element however (in the case of text inputs) any key presses do not appear.
Using the debugger I can use blur the active element bring focus to another element even change the value of an input but no user input is seen by the HTML/javascript when the user types/scans.
This is a legacy application runs in Internet Explorer compatibility mode.
Just to sum up - I want to scan a barcode which will open a PDF (already done) which opens it's print dialog automatically (already done) the user prints the PDF and then without any further human interaction with the page (i.e. the user does not need to use the mouse or keyboard after clicking the print button in the print dialog) the user should be able to scan another barcode which will open a new PDF.
Rather than render the PDF inside an iframe/object, why not take advantage of modern HTML5 and Mozilla's hard work and render it using https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/ - it is a fully HTML5/javascript PDF renderer and does not require any plugins.
There is a nice online demo at http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html
Then you would be on the same page with JavaScript all the way down and could avoid having to pass focus/events etc between the two environments, so you could catch events anywhere on the page easily enough.
I want to create a javascript to copy text to clipboard and display an alert coupon copied and when user close it or clicks ok it should visit another website in new page.
basically i am using wordpress's siteorigin pagebuilder widget in which i can only provide the javascripct name as "script.js".
so what I want is when that script runs it takes the button id and copy its text to clipboard and then shows a error message and tells code copied and when user cancels the alert or click ok then it should open a link.
Currently, almost all browsers have prohibited access to the clipboard by javascript.
So, whatever you try here will fail due to browser restrictions. There are settings modifications which re-grant access to the clipboard, but they are not practicable in an end user scenario.
There are certain solutions around which are either based on a java plugin or a small flash app. The latter is the most stable and useful, can be found here:http://zeroclipboard.org/
I am really having some problems in that I want my visitors to open a certain PDF from a link on my site, however, I can get it to display on a separate tab next to my website, but what I would really like is for it to be forced to open in Adobe Reader.
Is this possible? Has anyone managed to do this?
I have my links set up, they open in a separate tab, but I just feel its more professional if it were to open in Adobe Reader.
Ive been looking for the same thing, and the answer is very simple : add download to your a href code : < a href="document.pdf" download>
It prompts a box which asks you if you want to save or just open the document
Normally the browser will detect that the link with holds a .pdf, and it will open up the PDF in the browsers viewer, and I have seen this in just about all browsers. Then you will be able to use the given functions like size, print, and save.
