Re: Need Help Adding Parameters to addWatermarkFromText using VBA

Where did you get the impression that you can execute JavaScript in Acrobat

using this method? You really (let me repeat that REALLY) have to read the

SDK documentation. There no no way around that. Anything that is not

described in the documentation will not work. There is only one way to

execute JavaScript using the IAC API, and that is using this call:

 

http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/IAC_API_Fo rmsIntro.108.45.html

 

However, in this case there is no need to use the executeThisJavaScript

function, you can use the JSO to add your watermark. Everything you need is

in the documentation, and as I mentioned before, there is no way around

reading and understanding the docs. You cannot just google your way through

a complex problem and try to piece together a solution based on bits and

pieces you find online. Why do I know this? Because oftentimes I get called

in after somebody tries that approach to save some money. I then get to

clean up the mess they made, and then it's not going to be cheap... And

this is one of the reasons why people are reluctant to provide code samples

in this forum.

 

Using a complex API as the Acrobat SDK requires you to climb a pretty steep

learning curve, and you have to spend weeks and months (and sometimes

years) reading and experimenting until you understand how things work. And

that is why it's usually cheaper and faster to hire somebody to do that

work for you.

 

Back to  your  problem. What have you tried? I only remember seeing your

call to addWatermarkFromText using just the text argument. BTW: There was

no need to start a new thread, you should have kept everything in the first

thread you started, this way everything is in one place. If you've posted

more in the other thread, then you are making it much harder for us to

provide help.

 

So again, what have you tried and what results have you gotten? What error

messages did the system produce? When? When you compiled the code, or when

you tried to execute it?
