Hi everyone,

i got a pdf and want to let a textbox get deceided by checkboxes in front.

i got 5 questions where you can answer yes / no with 1 checkbox for every question:

The textbox should say "keine wesentliche Änderung" in those cases:

1. if checkbox 1 is a no + checkbox 2 is a no

2. if checkbox 1 is a no, checkbox 2 is a yes, checkbox 4 a yes

3. if checkbox 1 is a no, checkbox 2 is a yes, checkbox 4 a no + checkbox 5 a yes

The textbox should say "wesentliche Änderung" in those cases:

4. if checkbox 1 is a yes + checkbox 3 a no

5. if checkbox 1 is a yes + checkbox 3 a yes + checkbox 4 a yes

6. if checkbox 1 is a yes + checkbox 3 a yes + checkbox 4 a no + checkbox 5 a no

i tried to get the value with this.getField().value but it didnt work.

TIA Tim

That should have worked (assuming you specified the field name as the parameter of getField)... A check-box group will have the value "Off" if no box is selected, or the export value of the selected box. What happened when you used that code?

the code is:

// Definition von Variablen

var check1 = this.getField("Check Box1").value;
var check2 = this.getField("Check Box2").value;
var check3 = this.getField("Check Box3").value;
var check4 = this.getField("Check Box4").value;
var check5 = this.getField("Check Box5").value;
var check6 = this.getField("Check Box6").value;

var Ergebnis = this.getField("Ergebnis").value;

// Anweisung

if
(check1 !== "Off" && check2 !== "Off") {
Ergebnis = "keine wesentliche Änderung"; }

nothing happened in textbox "ergebnis"

OK, that's because you're not applying the value correctly. Once you copy the value to a variable it's just a string, unattached to the field. Change the last lines to this:

var Ergebnis = this.getField("Ergebnis");

// Anweisung

if (check1 !== "Off" && check2 !== "Off") {
Ergebnis.value = "keine wesentliche Änderung"; }
