Calculation resulting from checkbox selection in pdf

[sasegars58]

I'm probably way out of my league here, but here's what I need to happen:

I have a fillable pdf with several checkboxes that would result in an amount being added to a total field (Ex: Full page ad / Exhibitor fee is $500 / Non exhibitor fee is $750), so the user selects two items (or none). If they check "Full page ad" checkbox, then they select whether or not they are an exhibitor, then the amount ($500) would go to the total field = $500. And several more optional add choices, etc.

So, I guess my question(s) are:

If a checkbox is selected, can a number populate in a separate field? And if so, how?

I am a javascript beginner, have only completed the calculations that were simple.

Many thanks in advance for help/advice.

Okay, it's working now! Below is the code. If I don't select a box, it lists No. What do I change ("Off","No") to to get rid of that?

event.value=

"Client Services\r"+

this.getField("ClientServicesQ1").value.replace("Off","No") +"\r"+

this.getField("ClientServicesQ2").value.replace("Off","No") +"\r\r"+

"Reviewers\r"+

this.getField("CSReviewer1of5").value.replace("Off","No") +"\r"+

this.getField("CSReviewer2of5").value.replace("Off","No") +"\r"+

this.getField("CSReviewer3of5").value.replace("Off","No") +"\r"+

this.getField("CSReviewer4of5").value.replace("Off","No") +"\r"+

this.getField("CSReviewer5of5").value.replace("Off","No") +"\r\r";

Change:

replace("Off","No")

To:

replace("Off","")

Okay, that worked, but it's like the space is still reserved. So if I selected only the 5th check box there are give blank line spaces in the summary area. Is there a code that just lists them as they are checked but without a replace command?

I have already written the code for you previously in this thread:

this.getField(""ClientServicesQ1").value!="Off"?this.getField("ClientServicesQ1").value+"\r":""+ 

etc.

[jas963]

That one isn't working. The one Try67 gave me is working but I just need it to stop listing No when the checkbox isn't selected. Even when I delete No and use " ", the blank line is there like it's still recognizing the line. I want it to just shift the next item up if nothing is selected.

event.value=

"Client Services\r"+

this.getField("ClientServicesQ1").value.replace("Off","No") +"\r"+

this.getField("ClientServicesQ2").value.replace("Off","No") +"\r\r"+

"Reviewers\r"+

this.getField("CSReviewer1of5").value.replace("Off","No") +"\r"+

this.getField("CSReviewer2of5").value.replace("Off","No") +"\r"+

this.getField("CSReviewer3of5").value.replace("Off","No") +"\r"+

this.getField("CSReviewer4of5").value.replace("Off","No") +"\r"+

this.getField("CSReviewer5of5").value.replace("Off","No") +"\r\r";

Successfully tested:

var line1=this.getField("ClientServicesQ1").value!="Off"?this.getField("ClientServicesQ1").value+"\r":"";
var line2=this.getField("ClientServicesQ2").value!="Off"?this.getField("ClientServicesQ2").value+"\r":""; 
var line3=this.getField("CSReviewer1of5").value!="Off"?this.getField("CSReviewer1of5").value+"\r":""; 
var line4=this.getField("CSReviewer2of5").value!="Off"?this.getField("CSReviewer2of5").value+"\r":""; 
var line5=this.getField("CSReviewer3of5").value!="Off"?this.getField("CSReviewer3of5").value+"\r":""; 
var line6=this.getField("CSReviewer4of5").value!="Off"?this.getField("CSReviewer4of5").value+"\r":"";
var line7=this.getField("CSReviewer5of5").value!="Off"?this.getField("CSReviewer5of5").value+"\r":"";
event.value=
"Client Services\r"+line1+line2+"Reviewers\r"+line3+line4+line5+line6+line7;

[jas963]

thank you! That works perfectly. I need to do 12 more. When I start with the next one on the next line it breaks. Is there anything I need to add between the two?

[PDF Automation Station]

Are you saying your code breaks, or want the line to break?

[jas963]

It breaks when I paste this below it:

var line1=this.getField("DevelopmentQ1").value!="Off"?this.getField("DevelopmentQ1").value+"\r":"";

var line6=this.getField("DevReviewer1of2").value!="Off"?this.getField("DevReviewer1of2").value+"\r":"";

var line7=this.getField("DevReviewer2of2").value!="Off"?this.getField("DevReviewer2of2").value+"\r":"";

event.value=

"Development\r"+line1+"Reviewers\r"+line2+line3;

[try67]

Post the full code, and explain what you mean by "it breaks"... What exactly happens?

[jas963]

Okay, the first code you gave me worked. It listed:

Client Services

Q1 Value (the question I want it to show)

Reviewers

Reviewers names

Then when I added on the next one (Development) and I check the boxes for both Client Services and Devlopment, only Development shows (it does listed everything correctly). If I only click the boxes for Client Services, it only shows the label. Here is the full code:

var line1=this.getField("ClientServicesQ1").value!="Off"?this.getField("ClientServicesQ1").value+"\r":"";

var line2=this.getField("ClientServicesQ2").value!="Off"?this.getField("ClientServicesQ2").value+"\r":"";

var line3=this.getField("CSReviewer1of5").value!="Off"?this.getField("CSReviewer1of5").value+"\r":"";

var line4=this.getField("CSReviewer2of5").value!="Off"?this.getField("CSReviewer2of5").value+"\r":"";

var line5=this.getField("CSReviewer3of5").value!="Off"?this.getField("CSReviewer3of5").value+"\r":"";

var line6=this.getField("CSReviewer4of5").value!="Off"?this.getField("CSReviewer4of5").value+"\r":"";

var line7=this.getField("CSReviewer5of5").value!="Off"?this.getField("CSReviewer5of5").value+"\r":"";

event.value=

"Client Services\r"+line1+line2+"Reviewers\r"+line3+line4+line5+line6+line7;

var line8=this.getField("DevelopmentQ1").value!="Off"?this.getField("DevelopmentQ1").value+"\r":"";

var line9=this.getField("DevReviewer1of2").value!="Off"?this.getField("DevReviewer1of2").value+"\r":"";

var line10=this.getField("DevReviewer2of2").value!="Off"?this.getField("DevReviewer2of2").value+"\r":"";

event.value=

"Development\r"+line8+"Reviewers\r"+line9+line10;

Also, that last message is old - I replied to the notification email and I guess there is a lag. The latest message is the one above it - me telling you what I mean by broken and giving th3 full code.

[PDF Automation Station]

event.value is one value for the entire field, so if you have it twice the 2nd will overwrite the first.

[jas963]

Thanks! The below code works. Now how do I get an line space before each group label (before Development).

var line1=this.getField("ClientServicesQ1").value!="Off"?this.getField("ClientServicesQ1").value+"\r":"";

var line2=this.getField("ClientServicesQ2").value!="Off"?this.getField("ClientServicesQ2").value+"\r":"";

var line3=this.getField("CSReviewer1of5").value!="Off"?this.getField("CSReviewer1of5").value+"\r":"";

var line4=this.getField("CSReviewer2of5").value!="Off"?this.getField("CSReviewer2of5").value+"\r":"";

var line5=this.getField("CSReviewer3of5").value!="Off"?this.getField("CSReviewer3of5").value+"\r":"";

var line6=this.getField("CSReviewer4of5").value!="Off"?this.getField("CSReviewer4of5").value+"\r":"";

var line7=this.getField("CSReviewer5of5").value!="Off"?this.getField("CSReviewer5of5").value+"\r":"";

var line8=this.getField("DevelopmentQ1").value!="Off"?this.getField("DevelopmentQ1").value+"\r":"";

var line9=this.getField("DevReviewer1of2").value!="Off"?this.getField("DevReviewer1of2").value+"\r":"";

var line10=this.getField("DevReviewer2of2").value!="Off"?this.getField("DevReviewer2of2").value+"\r":"";

event.value=

"Client Services\r"+line1+line2+"Reviewers\r"+line3+line4+line5+line6+line7+"Development\r"+line8+"Reviewers\r"+line9+line10;

[jas963]

It breaks when I paste this below it:

var line1=this.getField("DevelopmentQ1").value!="Off"?this.getField("DevelopmentQ1").value+"\r":"";

var line6=this.getField("DevReviewer1of2").value!="Off"?this.getField("DevReviewer1of2").value+"\r":"";

var line7=this.getField("DevReviewer2of2").value!="Off"?this.getField("DevReviewer2of2").value+"\r":"";

event.value=

"Development\r"+line1+"Reviewers\r"+line2+line3;

[try67]

Add "\r" before it...

[PDF Automation Station]

"\rReviewers\r"

[jas963]

Thanks! when I'm typing the code in notepad and the link gets to be too long, how can I continue on the next line? A simple return doesn't seem to work.

[jas963]

I think it's working using Retirn now. This thing is so sensitive. I'll make a change and it won't update and then I'll have to delete it and re enter it a few time for it to work. Like it saves a cache or something. 

[try67]

If the other fields have a calculated value check the fields calculation order, under More in Prepare Form mode.

[jas963]

The checkboxes have an Export Value. The Summary field (text field) has the custom calculation script.

[try67]

Can you share it?

[jas963]

Its going well now. I haven't had an issue on tha last three! How do I add bold to "Client Services\r" and "\rCompliance\r" ?

[try67]

That is much more complicated. You will need to use Rich Text Formatting instead of plain text.

[jas963]

I'll leave it as is. Not starting over lol.
