Hello , I created a form with Adobe pro XI . I want to create a text field that combines two text fields ( field1 and field2 ) . How can I do?

If the third field does not need to be editable, you can use a custom calculation script for it that is something like the following:

// Custom calculation script

(function () {

    // Get the field values, as strings

    var s1 = getField("Text1").valueAsString;

    var s2 = getField("Text2").valueAsString;

    // Set this field's value by concatenating the two strings

    event.value = s1 + s2;

})();

You need to be more specific. Do you want to concatenate the field values as strings, and if so, do you want to include a separator between the two values? Or do you want to numerically add the two field values? Or something else? The more details you provide the better.

Yes, I have two string fields ( Text1 and Text2 ) and I would like to create a third field that combines " Text1Text2 " without other characters between them
