December 6, 201510 yr I've seen the following issue with two forms. If the field in the PDF document that you want to replace has a parenthesis in it, ScribeDocWriteValue returns an error. For example, in the attached PDF, there's a form entitled, "A petition for an extension of time under 37CFR 1.136 (a)". I believe that the problem is that acrofields are delimited by using parentheses. The way to include a parenthesis in text is to using back slash ("\") before the parenthesis, but this doesn't work. Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a way around it? I'm about 99% certain that there is a bug in the plug-in at this point. PTOAIA31.pdf
December 7, 201510 yr Hi Mikedr, I believe I responded to you in an support case but I want to update this thread incase any one else is having this same issue. We have fixed this in a development build v2.15 that will be on our website soon. For now you can download 2.15 here .
December 7, 201510 yr Author Great! Yes, this fixed the issue. Thanks so much for the quick turnaround. I want to kick the folks at the US Patent Office who created the Acrobat forms. A field name should be sentences in length and have multiple misspellings! Thanks again also for developing a great plugin. It has permitted us to do document construction through our FMP database, which has been a lifesaver.
