I am editing contracts for work, in those contracts there are options to check to get a certain plan within the contract. Is there a way when you select an option that the contract pages below will change to accomadate the option selected.

You can set the active page in JavaScript using the following line:

this.pageNum = 9; // go to the 10th page in the document, the first page is page #0

See here for more information from the API documentation: https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/acrobatsdk/html2015/index.html#t=Acro12_MasterBook%...

I meant when you check the box, it removes pages not needed within the rest of the contract

That is possible, but quite complicated to set up, especially if the file should be used in Reader.

How should i go about it?

For example if check box 1 is checked, then remove pages 12-19

This makes it a smaller contract and gets rid of info not needed by the person signing.

Do you mean that you need something like this sample document?

Simlilar. The contract im using is 19 pages in all. The first 11 pages have to stay. On page two there are options for how they are going to pay for the contract. 

If they select option 1, then pages 12-19 would be taken out as they would not be needed.

Option 2, 14-19 would be taken away.

Option 3, 12-17 and page 19 would be taken away,

Option 4, pages 12-13 would be taken away

In this document all pages, except the first, are hidden template pages.

When you click on one of the checkboxes, first it deletes all the pages, except the first, and then it spawns all the selected ones, in the right order.

Deleting all the pages each time has the advantage of not having to manage the location of the pages to be spawned or deleted.

As these are unique pages it doesn't use the automatic renaming of the fields, so all the fields are hidden duplicates in pages templates, so when pages are deleted and re-spawned the fields remain filled, as if the page had not changed.

Ok, Thank you ,that should work for what i need. Would you mind sending a generic script so i can paste and modify?

[JR Boulay]

var cOPE = event.target.valueAsString;

if (this.numPages > 1) {this.deletePages({nStart: 1, nEnd: this.numPages-1});}

switch (cOPE) {
case "Off": // no sélection
break;

case "souscrip": // souscription
this.getTemplate("P02").spawn({bRename:false});
this.getTemplate("P03").spawn({bRename:false});
this.getTemplate("P04").spawn({bRename:false});
this.getTemplate("P05").spawn({bRename:false});
this.pageNum = 0;
break;

case "arbitrag": // arbitrage
this.getTemplate("P02").spawn({bRename:false});
this.getTemplate("P03").spawn({bRename:false});
this.getTemplate("P06").spawn({bRename:false});
this.getTemplate("P07").spawn({bRename:false});
this.pageNum = 0;
break;

// etc

default:
console.println("unrecognized value");
break;
}

Where would i change the data in this script and if so to what?

[Hunter23631529is8l]

For example the would i leave the "P02" but just enter my page numbers? also what would go in the other fields and which fields would stay the same? Thank you.

[JR Boulay]

You can edit orange texts.

You can add or remove any of these lines:

this.getTemplate("P02").spawn({bRename:false});

where "P02" is the name of the template.

[Hunter23631529is8l]

ok thank you. Last thing could you explain what would go in the orange texts?

[JR Boulay]

"could you explain what would go in the orange texts?"

The name of the page template.
