Adobe Pdf File Format

[Hermila Farquhar]

Whycan't I select a number of form fields and change all their formatting at one time? For example, change a column of text fields to number fields. As it is, I have to change one field at a time. It's laborious, to put it mildly. I understand that it's probably easier to start from the beginning by defining the field as a number. However, when I use "Use current properties as new default", it still requires that I still have to go back to each one and change the decimal places.

One can use JavaScript to access each field in turn and and change the properties of the individual field. Or when I am creating a column(s) of fields I create one row with the formatting I want. If some calculation is required, then I have to create a custom calculation that can determine the row to be processed and adjust the field names as necessary. And then I highlight the row and use "Create multiple copies" form the context menu, right mouse click.

Apparently, I wasn't clear. I apologize. I'm new at this. What I want to do is take a column of text fields and change ALL of them from none or text to the number format without having to do it one field at a time. I want to select the entire column and change ALL the fields from one format to another. When I try "Use current properties as new default" in an attempt to create the number fields with NO decimal places, it keeps defaulting to two decimal places which means that I still have to go back and change all of them one field at a time. It's the effectively same amount of effort that it takes to change the format and decimal places one at a time and I've gained nothing. I don't understand why something like this can't simply be done on an entire group of fields.

I read your explanation of the Java script and it's what I want. However, there's just one of me and it's not something that I can justify paying $60 to solve. I only have this problem a few times a year. Nonetheless, thanks for your help.

There is also an option on the context menu, right mouse click, "Use Current Options as New Defaults" which will keep all the settings for the selected field when one selects the field to be used as the model for the defaults.

You do not need to buy the JavaScript code. You can write your own code and run it from the JavaScript console. JavaScript is all plain text and Adobe and Mozilla provide free access to the JavaScript documentation.

I've seen a few posts showing how to do this on a specified array where you have to type in each field. Is there a way to call the current selection as a variable instead of having to manually type them in?

Yes, field formatting is performed with a script. The predifined formats in the field property dialog are actually done with a script. So all you need to do is identify the script for the formating you want. Then use the setAction() function on the field object to set the script.

Do to do this you need two things, the names of the fields to be modified, and the script for the type of formatting. So please describe the what it is you want the fields to do. Are the data entry fields? or fields that just display a value (such as a calculated field)?

"You did not do enough research on how to create forms." Why would you assume that? Many of us are assigned this task at work and have no choice about what software to use. In my instance, I'm editing forms that were created before I arrived. It has nothing at all to do with research.

Will doing this just create clones of the first form field that then need to be renamed individually in order to show independent information, instead of all of them showing the same data that's in the original form field?

I Have (this.value = this.value.replace(/[^\*]/g,'*')"/>) on my exit on the field which works fine if your enter the phone number 6052222222. Any direction in the right way would be great, a newbie to this

But when you want to store the data to DB, the text field will store only the numbers without the formatting. So when you want to display the phone number from the database, the field will know how to format it back to xxx-xxx-xxxx.

I film videos on an old mini DV tape recorder and have a ton of footage on my harddrive which all has the ".dv" file ending. I was aware that newer versions of Premiere Pro no longer supported this file format so I was editing in a 2017 version with no problems. Now, all of a sudden it seems that support for .dv files has been dropped in all versions of Premiere, as I can't get it to work in any version I've tried (including a 2015 version).

I imagine that there is no longer a workaround to get these files working in Premiere. So my question is, how should I convert these files? Which format should I convert them to for the least amount of quality loss? Which programm/app should I use to do this, seeing as Adobe Media Encoder doesn't support .dv anymore either?

I'm still having this problem. I make video art that I shoot on a VHS camera but capture on a mini dv tape deck. I want to use Premiere to edit, but they don't allow .dv files. I've spent weeks trying to make it work. So much of my work is about the quality being VHS/mini DV, but its pointless if I have to convert these through mpegstreamclip and lose the quality or pixelate the footage. I don't want to use Final Cut Pro, but I feel like I have no choice. Final Cut is so difficult now. Any suggestions?

There is no way to change the date format in the field itself, you can however change the way that the date is displayed in a report. You would add the field to your view, click advanced settings and then change the format to the one you want.

Thanks, Rich! I ended up re-creating the other calculated fields and selecting the "Date" format on those fields. The goal was to have all of the date formats consistent when the custom form is used. Goal accomplished. Thanks for the tip on changing how the dates display on a report. I'll keep that in mind.

Compelling visuals are becoming a must for impactful communication. However, for many of us, creating new or editing existing images is difficult and time consuming. With Adobe Acrobat's new image generation and editing capabilities, powered by the new Adobe Firefly Image 3, anyone can enhance or create beautiful new images and edit existing images directly within Acrobat. Firefly Image 3 offers massive advancements including image generation quality, better understanding of prompts and new levels of detail and variety that expand the possibilities for creative expression and ideation.

When conducting research, preparing for an exam, analyzing data, or reviewing meeting notes, information is seldom contained within a single document or file type. The new Acrobat AI Assistant features eliminate obstacles, making it quick and easy for everyone to extract insights and share information from documents.

With the new insights across documents in AI Assistant, users can now quickly identify key themes, trends, and relationships from selected documents and synthesize information into impactful content. For instance, a marketer researching ways to reach Gen Z customers can drag and drop PDF, Word, and PowerPoint documents into Acrobat AI Assistant. The assistant suggests prompts like "Give an overview of the key themes" and allows users to ask questions such as "What are the social media habits of Gen Z?" based on the content. AI Assistant generates answers from all the documents with citations, making it easy to verify sources or delve deeper. Users can also request to format the information for specific purposes, such as "Format this information into an email," which can then be shared with the team to inform a marketing campaign.

We're thrilled about this next milestone for Acrobat as a multi-format, AI-powered platform for uncovering insights and creating engaging visuals for your PDFs and many other types of documents. As we push the boundaries of Acrobat and PDF, we look forward to collaborating with our global customers to experiment, learn, and offer more intelligent document experiences.

Issue Description: All the field from schema which have the DATE as a datatype format is automatically getting changed to "DATETIME" (example : 2022-03-09T00:00:00) from AEP connector level. We have validated the same from source side ("Snowflake" in this case) and the value is appearing as expected on the instance. Therefore, we suspect that this might be a platform issue. Attached the sample tested connector for the reference. Note: the value seen on the attachment are randomly entered value for testing purpose.

We are checking internally from our side and need to raise a issue. Thought I can flag the issue over the forum as well and get some hands on the same. will keep posted once we have more update on the said issue.

Hi @adobechat - I don't think so it has to be converted from DATE to DATETIME and AEP also doesn't work in that way for converting the date value as there are potential difference on DATE and DATETIME value. We are facing this issue only for last two days and before it was just date for "DATE" datatype (Example - 2022-09-3). I suspect this might be a platform issue. We are still checking from our side internally and keep posted if I get any update.

I have set up snowflake connector too and had the exact same issue, I guess this is how it works, AEP reads date from snowflake and either converts it to UTC format or ISO-8601. We then had to have calculated field during mapping to update as we need. Sounds like that is what you are doing as well.
