Could you please help me solve this issue (I'm new to adobe acrobat dc):

Javascript written in textfield1(Color1) - Actions:

var C1 = this.getField("Color1");

var S1 = this.getField("Swatch1");

switch (C1.rawValue)

{

  case "PMS 100":

  S1.border.fill.color.value = "0,174,239";

     break;

  case "PMS 101":

  S1.border.fill.color.value = "236,0,140";

     break;   

}

Hi.

You can use this JavaScript (not tested) as a calculation script in the textfield2:

var myField = this.getField("textField1");
if (myField.valueAsString == "AAA") {event.target.fillColor = color.red;}
else if (myField.valueAsString == "BBB") {event.target.fillColor = color.blue;}
else if (myField.valueAsString == "CCC") {event.target.fillColor = color.black;}
// etc.

Is this a form created with LiveCycle Designer?

I'm trying to create form with acrobat dc not life cycle designer. I was able to create this in life cycle designer. But it doesn't work in acrobat dc.

Don't use JavaScript for Designer. Use JavaScript for Acrobat.
