I have a table of 14x15 rows and columns in Adobe PDF form, and I have to add JavaScript to all the fields/cells. I need to add code in each field separately. Is there a way to add the code all at once?

Yes, you can use script to loop through fields and use setAction to put code into fields.

No, I have different codes for each row and column, but each column has a same incremental code. What I did is, I prepared codes for each column separately, and pasted in a button action as "Mouse up". Here is an example for one column.

// Code for adding Different JavaScript to Multiple Rows 
for ( var i = 2; i < 16; i++)
{
var code = "";
code += "var len = event.target.value.toString().length;";
code += "\n" + "if (len<8) {";
code += "\n" + "    event.target.textSize = 10;";
code += "\n" + "}";
code += "\n" + "else if (len>7) {";
code += "\n" + "    event.target.textSize = 9;";
code += "\n" + "}";
code += "\n" + "if (len>10) {";
code += "\n" + "    event.target.textSize = 8;";
code += "\n" + "}";
code += "\n" + "if (len>12) {";
code += "\n" + "    event.target.textSize = 7;";
code += "\n" + "}";
code += "\n" + "if (len>14) {";
code += "\n" + "    event.target.textSize = 6;";
code += "\n" + "}";

code += "\n" + "//////////////////////////////////////////////";
code += "\n" + "var c = this.getField(\"Pier IDRow" +i+ "\").valueAsString;";
code += "\n" + "var v = this.getField(\"Soil Type at Pier BaseRow1\").valueAsString;";
code += "\n" + "if (c==\"\") event.value = \"\";";
code += "\n" + "else event.value = v;";
code += "\n" + "";

var rname = "Soil Type at Pier BaseRow"+i;
this.getField(rname).setAction("Calculate", code);
this.calculateNow();
}

When you use document level functions it is easier to change and debug the code.
