Script Go to template

Hello! I need help with a PDF form. I use Acrobat PRO DC. (hope i'm clear, english is not my first language, sorry!)

I have a PDF with a table of contents, and the rest of the pages (i created templates with them) are hidden. When i click on a radio button in the table of contents, only the concerned page shows, but it doesn't go to the page. I want it to go to that page.

I tried with the preset in Acrobat, but it doesn't work. For example, i write to go to page 4, but when the pages hide and then show again, it replaces what i wrote with page 1... I need a javascript that would tell "go to the template "XXXX". Is it possible? Or maybe "go to last page". Can somebody help me? Thanks!

How does you show the pages?

Hi! I created templates with my pages first, and then here is my script to hide and show the the template. I apply this on every radio button in my table of contents :

if(event.target.value!="Off")

{

this.getTemplate("Template1" ).hidden=false;

this.getTemplate("Template2" ).hidden=true;

this.getTemplate("Template3" ).hidden=true;

this.getTemplate("Template4" ).hidden=true;

this.getTemplate("Template5" ).hidden=true;

this.getTemplate("Template6" ).hidden=true;

}

    else

{

this.getTemplate("Template1 ).hidden=true;

this.getTemplate("Template2" ).hidden=true;

this.getTemplate("Template3" ).hidden=true;

this.getTemplate("Template4" ).hidden=true;

this.getTemplate("Template5" ).hidden=true;

this.getTemplate("Template6" ).hidden=true;

}
