Check both checkboxes to make text field visible

I have two checkboxes - Checkbox1 and Checkbox2.  I also have a text field - TextField1.  I would like TextField1 to become visible only if both Checkbox1 and Checkbox2 are checked.  If either of the two checkboxes is unchecked, I would like TextField1 to remain hidden.  Thanks for any assistance with either javascript or a calculation script.

    Use this as 'Custom calculation script' of text field:

    var c1 = this.getField("Checkbox1").valueAsString;
var c2 = this.getField("Checkbox2").valueAsString;
event.target.display = (c1 !== "Off" && c2 !== "Off") ? 0 : 1;

    Thank you.  Works perfectly.  I am also trying to do the same thing with a button (both checkboxes need to be checked in order to make the button visible).  Your code works for text fields, but not for buttons.  Could you also help with that.  Thanks.

    If it's the same checkboxes you can add this part to the script, just change "Button1" to your actual button field name:

    this.getField("Button1").display = (c1 !== "Off" && c2 !== "Off") ? 0 : 1;

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
