Question

If Then Check Box Visibility

Hello experts.

I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  I would like to make a textbox visible and, at the same time, make 2 checkboxes invisible when a third checkbox is "checked".  For example:

If Checkbox 1 is checked then

make textbox 1 visible and checkbox 2 and checkbox 3 invisible

else

textbox 1 is invisible and the two checkboxes visible

Hope this makes sense.  Thank you for your help.

You have to add some custom JavaScript that specifies very specific field objects and possibly widgets (a widget is an identifier of a specific check box or radio button within an exclusionary group of check boxes or radio buttons).

Do you have any suggestions on how to go about doing that?
