I have a form in Acrobat pro that when the checkboxes are engaged, it populates text elsewhere in my document. I created a reset button that will clear the checkboxes, but it does not also undo the text where it is programmed to appear. However, if I manually uncheck the box, it does unpopulate in the designated area assigned. Can the Reset button do this so I do not have to check then uncheck the checkbox manually?
Your reset button would also have to reset field "5". I assume the script is a Mouse Up action. It only runs when the check box is clicked, not when it is reset. Alternatively you can populate the text field using a custom calculation script in the text field instead:
var cText=".Text is placed here that populates elsewhere."'
this.getField("CheckBox").value=="Off"?event.value="":event.value=cText;
The difference is you won't be able to change the text field value because it will always revert to the calculated value. It will display "" when the text field is reset, however. These articles might help you:
