How can I password-protect a text-field button?

[johnf3870857]

Using Adobe Acrobat DC.

A final button on page one is titled: 'Next Page: ADMIN only'.

How can I password protect the button to where if a student clicks on the button, a password box would pop up (so that access to the next page is restricted to admin personnel only)?

Thanks in advance!

The code above is missing the most crucial part: The command to reject the newly entered value if the wrong password is entered.

Basically, you can do it with this code (as the field's custom validation script):

event.rc = (app.response("Enter the password:","","")=="1234");

(The password in the line above is "1234")

Man, you are a gentleman and a scholar! Thank you so much! That works beautifully!

try67, I tried to mark your answer as correct, but since we're in someone else's thread, it won't let me! Should I start a new thread so you can get credit for your work? I will if you say so!

No, that's fine... It's not worth the trouble. Just glad to hear it worked!

Additionally, I have the text box formatted as "Percentage." This means you must enter the percentage with a decimal point/period in front; i.e., 89.5 percent must be entered as .895. Is there a script to convert it so that the instructor can enter it AS 89.5?

I tried to revise a line from another script, putting it in the Calculate tab—Custom Calculation Script field:

event.value = Math.round(n23 / t * 1000) / 10; 

I specified

var n23 = Score // (the name of the text box)

var t = 0

I realize these are probably incorrect values (they didn't work!), but I don't know how to specify the text box in question ("Score") or how to reference the entered value to change it to a "regular" value.

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!

You can't stop it from making the "ding" sound. If you don't want it simply remove this line entirely.

What would stop the student just scrolling to the next page and ignoring your button? And what would happen if the student turned off JavaScript?
