Select all or just one check boxes

[Kathy409]

Hi,

I have a form that says:

Check all that apply

• Hotel
• Registration
• Air Fare
• Leave with Pay ONLY

Is it possible that if they choose the last one, the others are automatifcally unchecked?

Thanks.

Hi Kathy

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble.

The workflow that you are trying to achieve is possible using JavaScript. For more information about using JavaScript, please check the help pages below:

Here's a primer on checkbox/radio buttons in Acrobat forms:

To uncheck all the others, you'll need a mouseUP script on the last checkbox. I'll assume the names of the other checkboxes are the same as the labels.

if(event.target.value != "Off"){
   this.getField("Hotel").value = "Off";
   this.getField("Registration").value = "Off";
   this.getField("Air Fare").value = "Off";
}

That should do it.
