JavaScript in customs Dynamic Stamp not working

[asimfaiz]

To whom it may concern;
I'm using the latest Pro version under Windows 7 Ultimate version (64 bit). I have created a customs stamps and have a short javascript written for it. The purpose is to have a dialogue box pop up before the stamp is placed. The dialogue box has multiple fields that the user will fill in and the stamp is then placed on the PDF document. The stamp with the Java script work perfect with Acrobat but it does not work under your program. I have tested another small js whihc worked fine but that was inly calling for one field and not multiple fields in a dialogue box. Attached to this e-mail a zipped TXT file with the complete javascript. PLease advise what am I doing wrong or what is your program JS engine not picking up.

Thanks for the sample asimfaiz,

We are checking it and will advise a bit later directly here in the topic.

The current version of the viewer doesn't support JS dialogs. It should be implemented in V3 of the viewer.

what is the anticipated date on the release of V3

[Stefan - PDF-XChange]

Hello asimfaiz,

We are really very close to release, but unfortunately are not yet ready to announce an exact date. We will do so as soon as possible, but not before we are sure we can keep it this time, as we have given dates in the past which we weren't able to keep - so we'd rather not do it now.

Best,
Stefan

Hello any progress on the issue of JS in dynamic stamps

[Stefan - PDF-XChange]

Hello asimfaiz,

I've just spoken with Ivan and he told me that support for dynamic stamps is ready for the Editor and should be available in the next build.

Regards,
Stefan

Has this been resolved?

I'm using V3 Build 307.0 from Dec 31, 2013. The problem with dynamic stamps still exists for me. We have a set of javascripts and dynamic stamps that work fine in Adobe. But in PDF Xchange the javscript runs, gets all the information via the dialog boxes and then fails to get the right stamp. It always defaults to the "Draft" stamp.

The javascript is located at C:\Users\%[user]\AppData\Roaming\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\JavaScripts
and the stamps at C:\Users\%[user]\AppData\Roaming\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Stamps

The stamps show up perfectly fine in stamps palette. I have also tried to call other standard stamps like "Sold" via the javascript console. This failed similarly and always produced the "Draft" stamp.

Stamp properties like author, positioning, etc are set perfectly fine via javascript.

Any suggestions?

here is the simple javascript snippet:

var annot = this.addAnnot({
page: 0,
type: "Stamp",
author: "A. C. Robat",
name: "myStamp",
rect: [400, 400, 550, 500],
contents: "Try it again, this time with order and method!",
AP: "NotApproved" });

and the screenshots

The Development team has informed me that this issue had already been fixed, so you should be able to enjoy that as of the next build, to be released around the middle of February

Will,

just noticed this forum is for the Viewer, I shall note we are using PDF-XChange Editor. But I guess the engine is the same.

Hi gebhardtf,

No worries - I hadn't actually noticed that either, but I had gathered that you were referring to the Editor, from your initial post, so no worries

Cheers,
