I have been using the forums to help me answer the question above and I have managed to create the code below.

var f = this.getField("Text552").value;  {
if (f>=1 && f<=5)
 event.target.fillColor = ["RGB",153,204,0];  
else if (f>=6 && f<=8)  
 event.target.fillColor =["RGB",255,204,153];  
else if (f>=9 && f<=15)  
 event.target.fillColor = ["RGB",255,139,61];
 else if (f>=16 && f<=25)  
 event.target.fillColor = ["RGB",214,0,0];
else event.target.fillColor = color.white;
}

Using this code the fill colour changes for values 1-5 and 16-25 but not for the rest. Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong?

I found it, it was as simple as the box was checked red instead of none. It works fine now and thank you for all your help today.

I have a script where I am having two issues. What I want the script to do is turn any number over 5 red and any number more than -5 red. I need the number to return to transparent if a number is changed back within the transparent parameters.

My script is:

if(event.value >= 5)
event.target.fillColor= color.red;
if(event.value >= -5)
event.target.fillColor= color.transparent;

I have tried to figure out the - 5 and also to have the number return to transparent when parameters change but can't seem to get there. Any help?

Hello i need Help please.

Everytime i try this script it says:
TypeError: event.target is undefined
19:Console:Exec
undefined

I just want to change the Text-Colour to red if i type the Number "5" in a certain Textfield in Acrobat.
There are lots of Texfields and i need the Script for all of them (not only for one specific Field).

I dont know what to do, tried a lot of different scripts but none of them worked yet. Would be great if someone could solve my Problem. Thank you!!

Use a script at validation of the textfield. You can't use event.target in the console.

Hallo Benrd,
leider bin ich mit dem Thema Scripten usw nur sehr wenig vertraut bzw. kenne mich leider nicht gut aus. Hast du vielleicht eine Idee wie ich das machen kann?

Danke und LG
