Hi everyone !!!

I have a pdf form which has some scripts such as spawn a page, field hide or show depending on the checkbox checked ...

Everything is working perfectly on window, when i decided to check if everything was alright on Mac ... it doent work.

The field which is supposed to be hidden until the check box is checked is directly showed.

Thx for the help !

I  am using acrobat DC Pro

i chnaged the overlap in the field ... i ll try again with mac ... thanks for the tips ...  i ll see if it works or not


I cannot reproduce this issue on my iMac…

The form is OK when opening and the form field displays when the checkbox is ticked.

I don't know if this could be another issue, but the overlapping field is truncated (cannot read all the text) and is not covering checkboxes.

Anyway, I would have rather used a JavaScript dialog box with an OK button for displaying this message.

app.alert("Blablabla blabla blablabla");

What is the code supposed to do? There are many things that can be done in Acrobat but not in Reader, you know...
