I'm creating a PDF template using Adobe Acrobat, in which I'm trying to hide and show fields on button click.

My requirement is - on first click a field should be shown and on second click a same field should get hide.

My issue is - field is getting visible on first click but it doens't get hide on second click.

Can anyone please help me out with this.

Thanks in advance.

You need to use a script to do it. Something like this:

var f = this.getField("FieldName");

f.display = (f.display==display.visible) ? display.hidden : display.visible;

This one works for me but only in one field. I need to hide/show several fields with one button. How shoud I modifiy the code?

Thank you

Duplicate the code, adjusting the field name in the first line each time.

Great. It worked. Now, is there a way to put all the names together in one line, having the fields the same name but ending in a different number?
Something like ("Field1", "Field2", "Field3", Etc.)
