Hiding specific pages based on a checkbox is unchecked and when checked it will show the page. Here's the script that I'm using but it is not working please help:

// Replacing "Checkbox1" with the actual name of your checkbox field

var checkbox = this.getField("Checkbox1");

// Replacing "PageNumberToHide" with the page number you want to hide

var pageToHide = this.getPageNthNum("PageNumberToHide");

if (checkbox.value == "Off") {
    this.hidePages([pageToHide]);
} else {
    this.showPages([pageToHide]);
}

Correct answer

var f = this.getField("c1");
if(f.isBoxChecked(0)){
this.getTemplate("2").spawn();
   }
else {
     this.deletePages(1);
}

change the ("c1") with your button or checkbox name, change the template name ("2") to spawn your template, and lastly change the delete page number ("1") which page you want to delete.

Delete page method is 0= page1, 1= page2 , 2= page3....etc.

Does this need to work in Reader, as well as in Acrobat?

I think JR's link is pretty good. It shows several threads that describe various aspects of using page templates. Which is where I think the poster needs to start, since the code they posted is nonsensical.
