Community Beginner ,
Jul 25, 2019 Jul 25, 2019

Copy link to clipboard

Copied

in my digital forms using pdf expert on ipad

i have ( submit by email ) button with mailDoc, mouse up run JavaScript action

i added another mouse up action

if(this.getField("CAP1Signature").value !=""){

this.getField("CAP1Signature").readonly = true;

}

////

if(this.getField("CAP1Signature").value =""){

this.getField("CAP1Signature").readonly = false;

}

to make the a signature field is readonly if the field is already signed

and (not) if the field is still blank

to ensure that the file will send with readonly signature

and also make a chance for the user if he forgot to sign before click on the button

my script is working half or the other half

i tried also

if(this.getField("CAP1Signature").value !=""){

this.getField("CAP1Signature").readonly = true;

}else{this.getField("CAP1Signature").readonly = false;}

i got the same result

any help please !?

thank you in advance

In the former code you've made a classic error of using the wrong operator in your if-condition. You've used "=", which assigns a value, instead of "==", which compares two values.

The second code is better, but the question is, where did you place it?

Change both instances of "==" to "=" (no quotes).
