I am working on a rather large form for my company. Here's the general gist:User selects from 4 different radio buttons groups on page 1User hits "COMMIT ANSWERS" button which calls a function to spawn different pages dependent upon their answersIf user ignores Commit button, an app alert prompts them when the pages closes.Currently, if someone changes any of the answers, hitting the Commit button again will update the package correctly. If we lived in a perfect world this would sufficient, however as the typical user will ignore that button... I would like an app alert to prompt them to commit their answers again when they change an answer (or change an answer and then navigate away from page 1).Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

I wrote the following JavaScript that runs when a customer "MouseUp" (clicks) a radio box. It requires them to fill out a field when the "yes" box is checked:f="Explanation";e="Yes: custom design";tField=this.getField(f);if(event.target.value==e){tField.required=true;}else{tField.required=false;}"f" is the field in which the customer types their explanation, and "e" is the "yes" checkbox. The script is run through the "properties" of the "yes" check box.My issue is that there is also a "no" box as part of the radio family. So, when the "no" box is clicked it "un-clicks" the "yes" box. Unfortunately, this does not "un-require" the explanation field. Can someone suggest an edit to my JavaScript to make this happen?(I apologize if my explanations are poorly worded. I am very new to JavaScript)

I've been debugging a crash in an application which appears to stem from the Acrobat Reader ActiveX components, when Acrobat Reader DC 2017 is installed on the computer. The application is a native Windows application written in C++, but I cannot easily create a sample project for it (inherited code base, not my forte), but I'm getting the same error (Structured Exception) from a simple test/repro project made in C#.In this specific crash instance, it appears that the key step is performing any key press operation, within the control, after loading a document. This brings up the special tools in the right-hand side of the viewer's control area.The sample C# repro project can be downloaded here: Dropbox - AcrobatReaderCrash.zip , and the steps to reproduce from it are as follows:Start the application, with or without debugging enabledClick on either of the "Load" buttons, at least once, up to however many you'd likeClick within the viewerPress the "Esc" keyClick the load buttons again,

Hello all, what I need with is a javascript button that will enable me to click it and the result will remove the amount from the calculation, click it again and the amount that was removed will be added again.Let me explain what I'm trying to do. I am creating a form that shows the total of material costs, then adds a percentage markup to the material costs from a drop down. Then I have a field to select the labor for the job. I'd like to have a button to remove the labor to see only the material costs by itself. Then click the button again and the labor total would be added once again without having to re-type it in. Would someone have a javascript that would help me do what I want? I hope it can be done. Thanks.

there is an interactive tour provided in the welcome menu of Acrobat 2017. Does anyone know if Adobe Captivate was used to create this? How can I create my own interactive tour inside of Acrobat to show users how to use our plugins to Acrobat? I do not want this to be a video. I want users to actually click on buttons and engage, not simply select a button to advance the next clip/scene. Thanks,Jordan
