So you want to create a button that puts a certain text into a text field when clicked? It's simple. Add this code as the button's MouseUp event:

this.getField("Text1").value = "Journey Planner";

Hi try67

don't think I was clear about what i want to do....

I want to be able to do this.......300 page book, imported as PDF document into acrobat,

if a click box is checked then the page title will be added to a list. "Journey Planner Page"

the script you have given doesn't work..all I am getting is a dotted square with no text.?

is that because I dont have a text box on the recipient page"JourneyPlanner"?

or is it because the text that I want to transfer is not in a text box?

again thank you for your help

check box name "Add"

just so I am clear, I need to be able to do this on any page out of the 300 and so make a list

in "Text33" of all check boxes clicked.......say anything from 3 to 15 in the list...


You can't use the same field name for all the check-boxes. Each one will have to have a unique name.

Let's say that if "Add1" is ticked then "Text33" should show "Journey Planner".

You can use this code as the custom calculation script of Text33:

var items = [];
if (this.getField("Add1").valueAsString!="Off") items.push("Journey Planner");
if (this.getField("Add2").valueAsString!="Off") items.push("Something else");
if (this.getField("Add3").valueAsString!="Off") items.push("Yet another thing"); // etc.
event.value = items.join(", ");
