Is it possible to embed Acrobat "AcroExch.App" in an Excel Userform ?
I do not want to use AcroPDF as there is no functionality to fill out form fields.

I have a series of PDF files that need to be adjusted for printing, e.g., the content is not spaced properly. There are 9 content areas (3 across and 3 down) on each of files ranging from 32 to 60 pages. I tried to do this manually, but it is much too time-consuming. I tried to create actionscript, but don't have the technical expertise to code it. Someone else wrote a macro in vba, but could not get the crop command to work. Here's what I was doing manually:
Define first crop area
Crop
Print to PDF (page size 2.83 x 3.66 centered
Save file as page 1
Close file
Reopen file
Define next crop area
Etc.
After the last of the 9 areas - go to next page.
Repeat until end of file
I manually assembled the pages into one document which I can continue to do manually as it's easy to do so in Acrobat. The printer can then step & repeat the file to print the 9 areas spaced properly on 8.5x11 so they could be cut to a consistent size.
Is this the way to do it? I don't have access to the original files to create the pdfs.
I also don't know Javascript.
Hello,
I have an InDesign plugin that draws lines over text when the page is being exported to PDF. These lines indicate modifications to the document, track changes. I would like to be able to remove, make them none printing, set the opacity to invisible from Acrobat. We could go back to InDesign and export the pages again with the lines / marks hidden, but there is the possibility that some might have changed in the document. We are not able to put these lines / marks on a separate layer.
Is this possible in Acrobat?
Is the SDK C++ plugin the best route?
Or, is it possible with javascript?
Thank you.

I have found numerous examples online showing how to display a PDF in your program by using the AxAcroPDFLib assembly. However, I don't seem to be able to figure out how/where to access this assembly. In Visual Studio, I've tried to "Add Reference" and under "COM" it doesn't show the "Adobe PDF Reader" item that many online examples refer to.
I've tried adding a reference to the AcroPDF.DLL in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\Active X\
However, this does not supply a definition for the AxAcroPDFLib mentioned in the various examples. It supplies a reference to AcroPDFLib which in turn gives me the AcroPDF interface, which isn't recognized as a user control.
Installed on my system: Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, Adobe Acrobat Distiller DC, Adobe Reader X
I don't want to do anything too fancy. Just display a PDF within my forms window. But I'm completely lost at this point. Can anybody aim me in the right direction?
I been trying use Adobe Acrobat SDK to extract text for many days ...
it is OK for me to get the whole text of the page , But those text basically is not ordered.
Normally content comes like top content , footer content , Main content
We don't get those text like we see those words orderly.
Another reason why I am asking is , we have used another 3rd party tools like PDFbox
With their tools , giving the specific area , it return text successfully . And unfortunately , this tools doesn't read pdf successfully.
And , adobe acrobat SDK read all pdf files well .
Now this is what I plainly to do
Giving a specific area , and return the text . Just Like we read pdf files , we select it and copy it.
Firtst . Is it possible to do that ?
Second . I used pdfDoc.CreateTextSelect(pageNumber, pdfRect);
This function return text which is not I want when those texts are in form or image .
I was giving the smaller pdfRect to CreateTextSelect function , but it finally return its own BoundingRect like the bigger one.
And Also , function return texts like : DQM0 L VDDQDQ8VSSVDDDQ7VSSQ M VSSQDQ10DQ9DQ6DQ5VDDQ N VSSQDQ12DQ14DQ1DQ3VDDQ P ...
Correct me if I am wrong , Is it possible to do that ? or Am I using the wrong method?
Hi,
I have one page pdf document of size 1.5 GB in size. When i use PDPageAcquirePDEContent() on it, it gives outof memory exception. I also do see memory increasing dramatically in task manager. However Acrobat opens this pdf fine.
Spec says that this API caches the data, any workaround or ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Dear community,
I have an Excel VBA macro which adds page numbers to certain pdf documents.
Here an example of how this generally looks like:
Set AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App") | |
Set KurzGesamt = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc") | |
KurzGesamt.Open (strPfadVerteilungEndlauf & strNameKurzGesamt) | |
Set jso = KurzGesamt.GetJSObject | |
intSeiten = KurzGesamt.GetNumPages | |
For i = 2 To intSeiten | |
Set objTextfeld = jso.AddField("Textfeld" & i, "text", i - 1, Array(810, 15, 830, 25)) | |
objTextfeld.Value = Str(i) | |
objTextfeld.textSize = 10 | |
objTextfeld.textFont = "Calibri" | |
Next i | |
jso.FlattenPages | |
Call KurzGesamt.Save(1, strPfadVerteilungEndlauf & strNameKurzGesamt) | |
KurzGesamt.Close |
This code has worked perfectly for the last months but now, suddenly, I have the following problem:
Before, all form fields (containing the page numbers) were at the bottom on the right side of each page. (I got the "Array" values from above by trial and error.)
Now, the position is only correct on empty pages of the documents, while on the others, the page numbers are smaller and rather at the center of the page than on the right side.
It seems like font and position are adjusting to the respective page.
However, in the original pdfs nothing has changed and before, using the same code, this was not the case.
Therefore, my questions are:
1. Is there any setting in the Acrobat 7.0 I have to change in order to place the form fields independently from the remaining text and
2. if so, how can I define this as standard setting or change it via VBA?
3. If the problem has nothing to do with Acrobat settings, how must I change my VBA code to get the correct form field position and font size?
By the way, I've already tried to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat 7.0, because I thought, I'd maybe changed any setting accidentially, but this did not solve the problem.
Thank you in advance for any help!

Hello,
I am having some trouble build the samples plugins for macintosh.
Looking at the BasicPlugin. There only seems to be a debug target. Where should I install the built debug plugin? In the Environment.xcconfig file there is an entry:
ACROBAT_PLUGINS_FOLDER = /Applications/Adobe Acrobat Next Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/Plug-ins
This must be for a previous version of Acrobat?

I am currently using Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 and have created several Fillable Forms which our dealers use for various purposes. Once the Fillable Forms are received back to our Order Entry or Customer Service departments, I would like them to be able to pull the data from the form(s) into an Excel spreadsheet or Access database. I have been successful in using the Acrobat object in VBA to pull the data from each of the form fields and insert the data into a spreadsheet or database as needed. However, most of my users (20+) have only Adobe Reader. The Acrobat object is not installed or accessible with this version of Adobe. I am looking for other options to pull form field data and populate a Microsoft Office spreadsheet or database. I have not found an object such as Acrobat which my users with Adobe Reader would have access to. Is there one that I am missing? Should I be using something other than VBA with which I can access the fillable form fields?
Thank you so much. I look forward to some guidance as I've spent many hours trying to find a solution for this.

I have a background service written in C# that converts Pdf to Xml using Acrobat SDK Interapplication communication approach.
The problem is for some PDF the acrobat application shows a warning message window before saving the converted XML.
In such scenario the user need to interrupt and close the window manually. As its a background service i need to handle this warning message window programmatically in code, but i didn't find any solution in Acrobat SDK documentation to handle this .
Below is the sample screen shot with warning message while converting PDf to Xml.
Hello,
With the C SDK is it possible to modify the UI? I would like to have a floating palette with buttons and text areas.

Hi,
Similar to post Custom URL links in PDF don’t work. we have noticed that the Worksite link protocol iwl: is blocked in Reader DC (Windows 10 64-bit)
However, enabling the protocol in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureLockDown\cDefaultLaunchURLPerms
with "|iwl:2" added to the key, merely launches the default web browser, not the URL handler specified for the iwl protocol in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
Is there a way to get the correct handler to be used in Reader?
thanks
We have PDF files that are generated using PHP to send to a printing company. The printing company want us to add Bounding Boxes in these PDFs but with the technologies we're using, there's no way to add them without having the box visible on print paper. Also, since the number of PDFs generated are dynamic, it'll take a lot of work for them to add the Bounding Boxes manually.
I'm new to Adobe Acrobat SDK, does anyone know if there's a way to achieve the following tasks:
1. Loop through each existing PDFs
2. Add / Identify the Bounding Box
3. Save file with newly added Bounding Box
4. Move to the next PDF
The PDFs each have 2 pages, each page is 336.35mm x 226.35 (with 3.175 mm Bleeds - 6.35mm total), Finished size is 330mm x 220mm. Also, assuming if the bounding box is successfully added, will it be visible in printing paper?
Thank you.
Dear All,
I use Python to call Acrobat JavaScript to convert PDF to EXCEL. The code is like following:
aApp = win32.Dispatch('AcroExch.App') pdDoc = win32.Dispatch('AcroExch.PDDoc') if pdDoc.Open(r + "\\" + e): jsObject = pdDoc.GetJSObject() jsObject.SaveAs(des + "\\" + e + ".xlsx", "com.adobe.acrobat.xlsx") jsObject = None pdDoc.Close() pdDoc = None aApp.Exit() aApp = None
I have converted 6000+ PDF successfully without any problem.
But recently when I reused this code to conver another 4000+ PDF, for about 600 PDF, there were errors: "ReferenceError: OptionsOnSec is not defined". The other PDF are converted successfully without any problem.
I have searched google for this key word "OptionsOnSec" but only found "2 results (0.38 seconds) " and none of them are helpful. So I think maybe internal forum will be helpful.
Could anyone provide me with any advice?
Thank you so much for your help!
Hi there.
I was creating a plugin for signature validating. The problem is that signature uses third party digest algorithm "GOST34311". I think Adobe simply does not recognize such algorithm. I tried to catch the exception in this function:
void DSEngine::sigValidate( PSSigValidateParams params );
but it doesn't even get there, exception is thrown before.
So, how can I get algorithm name and handle any custom digest algorithm? Please, give some approach.
Thanks in advance!
I am developing a new application and i am using the AcroPDF.dll active X control. On Windows 7 on my development machine the control works wonderfully. However when I deploy to Windows 10 the control is just blank. There are no errors or anything it is just blank. Adobe Reader is installed on both computers.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert
