Conditional display of signature fields, depending on a checkbox

Hello everyone,

i would like to show a signature field "CEO" in Adobe Acrobat Pro CC only if the checkbox, "Approval by CEO nessary" is checked.

The background is that the signature of the CEO is not always required. The document can only be locked if all signatures in a form are filled in.

 

Thanks a lot

 

Bastian

The code to use:

 

this.getField("Signature39").display = (event.target.value=="Off") ? display.hidden : display.visible;

 

However, use the event I mentioned (Mouse Up).

As the Mouse Up event of the check-box add this code:

this.getField("CEO").display = (event.target.value=="Off") ? display.hidden : display.visible;
