Hello everyone, I am new to using Acrobat. I have ten (10) pages named page 1 through page 10. I'd like to have page 1 have a drop down box and a button. The drop down box would have number 1-5.A default selection in drop down box would be 1. The default setup for the PDF would be pages 1-4. I would like it if the user selects number 2 from drop down box, then I would like page 5 added to PDF. If user selects value 2 from drop down box then page 6 would be added to PDF.If user selects value 3 from drop down box, then I would like page 7 added.To be clear...the default setup would be pages 1-4 visible. Pages 6-10 as non-visible. Then depending on selection an additional page (from page 5 to 10) would be added to PDF.Also I would like after user picks number 1-5 from drop down box that the user has to press the button to actual have the above action to happen.And if possible I would like a selection to delete or hide a selection made an error. Like if they wanted to select value number 2

I am needing some help creating a script for an vehicle order form I am working on. Below is the file I have (please do not mind the deleted section as I could not share it online).The form needs to be able to do the following ...If I check a few boxes on Page 1 (like Ford Ranger and 4x4 option, the Estimated Monthly Lease cost for each -"MC_Truck1 "and "MC_Option_Truck1" which are hidden text fields with numbers) of those boxes will sum up and appear on Page 2 (the "Monthly_lease_value" text field) as a total of the boxes selected.I  read a thread similar to what I would like to like to use here: Conditional sum field with checkboxes.,but I have tried may ways to adapt the JavaScript to meet my needs with no luck. Second, I would like to know if I can do the same with words... where If I check a few option boxes on Page 1 (like Meyers Plow option and Salt&Sand option, the hidden text fields -"TF_Option_Plow "and "TF_Option_Sand&Plow"  with words)  will appear on

I have the following script in my "Documents JavaScript." It is my understanding putting the script in "Documents JavaScript." should cause the script to execute each time the document is opened.The intent is to look at three fields in a specific row... if all are $0.00 and a date has been put in the date field for that row, then remove the date. If any one of the three checked fields has a value >$0.00 then leave the date. The field is defaulted to currency, thus the Dollar sign. I have tried both with and w/o the "$." This is repeated 8 times as there are a possible 8 rows all with the fields as noted in the script.This is not working on testing. What am I missing or is this not going to work as is?var v1 = this.getField("FUEL COST TOTAL1").value;var v2 = this.getField("REEFER COST TOTAL1").value;var v3 = this.getField("DEF COST TOTAL1").value;var v4 = this.getField("DATE_FS1").value;var v5 = this.getField("FUEL COST TOTAL2").value;var v6 = this.getField("REEFER COST TOTAL2").valu

I have a form related to contracts. There are two fields for the contract terms: start date and end date.My wish for the validation of these two fields:1) That users are alerted to enter a start date before they enter an end date2) That users are alerted to correct the end date if it comes before the start dateHere was my attempt:event.rc = true;if (event.value) {    var startDateString = this.getField("StartDate_af_date").value;    if (startDateString=="") {        app.alert("You must first fill-in the contract start date.");        event.rc = false;    } else {        var startDate = this.getField("StartDate_af_date").value;        var endDate = event.value;        if (endDate>startDate) {            app.alert(

I have a text field (named DeptEmail), which automatically populates based on the selection from a dropdown field.  I want the text from DeptEmail to added as a CC when the submit form button is selected.My inspiration came from the following link: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/dynamically-setting-submit-e-mail-address and my current JavaScript looks like this:// This is the form return email.  It's hardcoded// so that the form is always returned to the same address.// Change address on your form to match the code belowvar cToAddr = "email@email.com";//Now get the CC email address var cCCAddr = this.getField("DeptEmail").value;// Set the subject and body text for the email messagevar cSubLine = "CRT Submission";var cBody = "This CRT and attachments are hereby submitted.";// Send the entire PDF as a file attachment on an emailthis.mailDoc({bUI: true, cTo: cToAddr, cCC: cCCAddr, cSubject: cSubLine, cMsg: cBody});The button works on every level EXCEPT it does not add the CC

I want the selection of a dropdown field to change another field based on it's selection....for example, if I select Administrative Services, I want contact info for that selection to populate other fields.  After tons of research, trial, and error, I'm close but the code only works if the selection is one word, such as Accounting.  How can I get it to recognize selections that are more than one word? I was able to mostly build what I need using the following link as an example: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/change_another_field Thanks, in advance.

I have two text Fields "Account#" and "Zip" that I have made mandatory when checking one of two boxes (COD Or 3rd Party), Now when checking these boxes the Fields "Account#" and "Zip" outline in red to signify these are now required fields.  What I'm trying to do is then write a script for the "Account#" and "Zip" fields that then removes that outline once the fields have a value, however I also want these fields to go back to being outlined in red if the value in each field has been removed only if the "3rd Party" or "COD" boxes are still checked. here is the javascript I have written for each checkboxthis.getField("Account#").required = event.target.isBoxChecked(0);this.getField("Zip").required = event.target.isBoxChecked(0);Here is the javascript I have written for each "Account#" and "Zip" field to add/remove the red required borderif(event.value != ""){    event.target.required = false;}else {    event.target.required = true;}the problem lies her

Hi all, I'm looking for an answer if something I'm proposing is possible using javascript (or something else entirely). I'm looking to create a PDF form but have 'First name' and 'Surname' fields on the cover, but within the document variable text fields that populate with the 'First name' on other pages. Is this possible, or would this not be javascript at all?So for example:Page 1First name: BeckySurname: SmithPage 3Running header: "<Becky>'s workbook"Page 5Body copy: "<Becky>, here is your chance to answer some questions."Any advice greatly appreciated!

Hi there, Could someone help me correctly write a javascript. What i want to do is get the layers to switch between themselves when another layer is toggled on. So when toggling through the layers they don't all stay on but rather switch between them.This is the script I have so far,var docOCGs = this.getOCGs();for (var x=0; x < docOCGs.length; x++){          if(docOCGs.name == "Layer 1" ||     docOCGs.name == "Layer 1")          {                    docOCGs.state = !docOCGs.state;          }}Thank you.

I have a pdf that contains three fields. One is a text field in which dollar amount is entered, the second is a text field in which a term is entered (i.e., 36, 48, 60) and the last field is the one in which the solved amount will be listed. An example of this formula is if Cost of Licenses >$25,000; multiple the entered amount * .03081 if  FinanceTerm = 36.I'm getting the following error message: SyntaxError: syntax error 6: at line 7. I'm very new to multiple options and can't figure out what I'm missing. Any help is appreciated.var A = this.getField("CostofLicenses").value; // the value of field A;var B = this.getField("FinanceTerm").value; // the value of field B;var C = this.getField("MonthlyPayment").value; // the value of field C;event.value = "";if(A>$24,999,B=="36"){event.value=A*.03081};else if(A<$25,000,B=="36"){event.value=A*.03110};else if(A>$24,999,B=="48"){event.value=A*.02383};else if(A<$25,000,B=="48"){event.value=A*.02386};else if(A>$24,999,B=="

Hi all. Need some help if possible. I have a submit button in my form running a Java Script to extract emails associated to checkboxes in that particular form. So this works like this:var fields = ["Checkbox1", "Checkbox2", "Checkbox3", "Checkbox4"]; var addresses = []; for (var i in fields) {     var v = this.getField(fields).valueAsString;     if (v!="Off") addresses.push(v); } this.mailDoc({cTo: addresses.join(";"), cSubject: "Subject line goes here"});And each checkbox has an email address as export value. This is all working fine. Now with all of this working I'm wondering if there is a chance to do the next:- form has 4 required text fields. I want that user must fill up minimum 2 out of these 4 fields, before Submit button will work. Of course it is allowed to user to fill 3 or even all 4 required text fields and then to submit a form as well. Now I know that there is a validation script for required either text field 1 or 2 to be completed:this.get

Hello Experts,I'm a bit of a java rookie but usually I can get a code to swing out the way I need it to do.  I have spent a week working through forums searching for a solution but as yet have not found a code that is effective. I have a PDF which needs to calculate the time difference between two sets of time input. Time1 = HH:MM:ssand Time3 = HH:MM:ssOR (ideally)Time1 = DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:ssandTime3 = DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:ssI have managed to make the date calculation work stand alone but ideally I would have it occur in the one calculation.The code is reactive and only occurs with a specific drop down result. Below is the only time calculation I have managed to get to work. It displays accurately in decimals, but does not calculate seconds yet, and try as I might when I modify the code to attempt the required format I can't get it to work.  I am using Adobe 2017//get whatif valuevar cDisplay = this.getField("Dropdown8").value// compute number of days only if there are values for

I would like to have my fiscal year and budget year fields auto-populate based on the date the document is opened. My fiscal year runs from July through June.Therefore...If I open the document between July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019 = FY 18-19 = BY 19If I open the document between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020 = FY 19-20 = BY 20etc.I would like for the fiscal years and budget years scripts not be "hard wired", i.e. that the script be able to live on without having to adapt it.My feeble attempt thus far for budget year:Created document level scripts that return today's date as two hidden fields: mm and yyyyI am trying to create a calculation in the budget year field that if the mm field falls between 07 and 12, then returns yyyy+1 field. If mm falls between 01 and 06, it returns yyyy.I know there must be a much better way but this is my current idea.Your help is greatly appreciated!
