Hide a page in a pdf document

[Mark22957345xbiv]

Hi, 

I have created a timetable which links to a lot of fields which then again links to another part of the document. I don't acutally need those fields in my document. They are just for me so that I could write the java script code more easily as I am a complete newbie. So I have put all those fields that are sort of the step in between not needed for any purpose other than link the different java script codes together, on one page. 

Ideally I would like to hide this page from the document as I would only need it in case something is wrong with a code somewhere. So no purpose at all really. Is this possible to do?

A better method would be to write the scripts so that the intermediate fields are not needed. But if you feel you really need them, then copy them all to the first page of the PDF and make them "hidden".

Unfortunately I am not at all good at java scripting. So I have used basic code which ended up in a few steps in order to achieve what I wanted to achieve. I would have loved to put it all in one code but I don't know how to do that. Will try and have to follow your second idea of hiding the files somewhere. Bit tricky though as its so many. Thank you for your reply anyway.

Any place where the code needs an intermediate value can use a variable for that value. If the value needs to be available to scripts in other fields, then use a document level variable.

Thank you very much for your reply Thom. I have to admit though that I don't understand your answer. I would probably spend weeks if not months studying coding in order to figure this out. 

I understand what you mean with intermediate value (I guess they are the fields I use for my first outcome) but I would't know what to replace them with to be honest. Here a little sample of what I am dealing with.  

This is the timetable (Monday to Friday with 7 lessons each day). DD1Mo1 is the drop down box where you select the type of lesson. Then next to it in 1SM22 you can type your planning. This planning I want to appear in the planning document three pages on but 1SM22 needs to be copied into different boxes depending on the value of DD1Mo1.  .....

So my solution was to create this "fake page". Currently looking like this. 

I have managed to figure out a code that appears in the relevant box depending on which value is selected in DD1Mo1. So if "D" is selected the "value" of 1SM22 is copied into the box DKL122. If "M" is selected it is copied into MKL122 and so on. So each line you see stands for one lesson DKL222 links to the droppdown box DD2Mo1 and so on. Now comes the difficult bit. All the Boxes starting with D... are copied together into the field "Deutsch22".  There is a lot of "if...then" in this and that is what makes it too complicated for me to figure out unfortunately. If you have an idea how I can do this easier (please be kind as I am at complete beginner level) than I would GREATELY appreciate your help as my way is very tidious.

You are using the "DK.." fields as intermediate values. Instead you could use a calculation script in "Deutsch22" to collect all the values directly, with out the "DK.." fields.

You can place these fields on a hidden page template:
