Hi, Could someone help me in adding a script to my PDF form, I have 8 buttons namely (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%), if one click on one of the buttons the value of that button should be displayed in another field called "Deposit" dynamically. For example if I click on 10% button, the "Deposit" field should display 10 and if I click on 30%button it should display 30 in "Deposit" field. And I would like to use the said value for calculating the percent and add it to the sub-total and display in the "Total" field.

Thanks in advance.

Sure, I am attaching the screenshot where I put the code and you can see by default 5 is displayed by default. thanks

Make sure field name is Deposit.

Buttons don't have a value. I assume you mean the label.

In that case you can use something like this as the MouseUp event of all the buttons:

this.getField("Deposit").value = event.target.buttonGetCaption().replace("%", "");

Hi there, can I keep the Deposit field "0" zero by default? Since it is showing the last value I have entered, I am sorry if I am bothering you again, thanks in advance.

What do you mean by "by default", exactly? When should it show zero? When the file is opened, and before any buttons are clicked?

In each Button actions tab as 'Mouse UP' event,select 'Run javascript' and add this code:

this.getField("Deposit").value = 5;

Of course change 5 to each button value.
