Help Needed: Acrobat Folder Level Scripting Error
The laborious task of scripting multiple fields within an Acrobat form presents a formidable challenge. Driven by this very difficulty, I endeavored to craft a Folder Level script, a mechanism to imbue numerous fields with specialized code within their Properties tabs. Alas, my creation falters.
Consider, if you will, a scenario. From the dialog box's dropdown, I select the "Day" field, its true nature revealed in the sequence "Day1" through "Day31." Within this same dialog, I specify "1" as the Start Number and "31" as the End Number, thus defining the scope of my intended action. Furthermore, I choose "Format" from the Target Action menu. Finally, in the designated area for JavaScript Code, I input the specific script intended for the Format property of these selected fields. The culmination of these actions, however, yields not the desired result, but rather a disheartening error, etched in the console log.
I find myself in a state of hopeful anticipation, awaiting your invaluable assistance in resolving this perplexing matter.
