Hi,

I'm trying to make a form with acrobat where I have a list of items associated with a checkbox, and I would like to display the items checked in a separate textfield.

Thank you for your time and help !

You are missing "Box37" field.

It seems your two posts were merged, and unlocked. I was told they were flagged (incorrectly) automatically by the forum's spam system, so don't take it personally.

To answer your question: Yes, this is possible with a script. What are the names of the check-boxes? What values do you want to use when they are ticked (using the field-names, or the export values, or something else)? And how do you want them to be combined (each item on a separate line, or separated by a comma, or something else)?

Ok, thank you for letting me know what happend.

My check-box names are Box1 to Box48, and I would like to display the tooltip if possible, as it correspond to the item name in the list. Each item on a separate line would be perfect, on 2 or 3 columns (can be up to a selection of 20 items). Would it be possible to display the amount of total item selected ? I don't know if it matters but I have added the check-box in word before exporting it to Acrobat.

Thank you very much for your time and help, it is very appreciated.

Are there any errors in the JS Console?

Hi guys, thank you for your answers !

@try67I didn't see any errors in the JS Console.

@Nesa NuraniYes I used the script as calculation and made sure the name of the box was the good one in the script, I have checked all typos error I could make.
