JavaScript for summary text field.

[chrisl88047801]

Hi all,

i previously designed a pdf in livecycle designer as part of acrobat 9. Now the company has upgraded to 11 and I've had to redo the form

I previously had a radio button that would take all the values from all the fields and populate them in an empty text box that would then be copied and pasted as a summary. However I can't get the code working now and am after any help you may be able to offer.

The code was

F.P1.Button3::click - (JavaScript, client)

DAHRTS.rawValue = "Callsign: " + Callsign.rawValue

+ "\nType: " + Type.rawValue

  + "\nDeparture Aerodrome: " + Departure.rawValue

   + "\nDestination Aerodrome: " + Dest.rawValue

    + "\nEntry Position: " + Entry_Posn.rawValue

     + "\n Time: " + Entry_Time.rawValue

      + "\n Level: " + Entry_Level.rawValue

       + "\n Track: " + Entry_Track.rawValue

        + "\nExit Position: " + Exit_Posn.rawValue

         + "\n Time: " + Exit_Time.rawValue

          + "\n Level: " + Exit_Level.rawValue

           + "\nImpact (consequence): " + Impact.rawValue

            + "\nSSR code: " + SSR.rawValue

             + "\nHow VCA was detected: " + Detect.rawValue

              + "\nReason for VCA if known: " + Reason.rawValue

               + "\nFollow up actions: " + Follow_up.rawValue

                + "\nPilot contact details: " + Pilot_details.rawValue

                 + "\nAirspace: " + DropDownList1.rawValue

                  + "\nOther: " + Other.rawValue

F.P1.Button3::enter - (JavaScript, client)

Dahrts was the name of the empty text box that the button would cause to populate.

Any ideas?

Do I have this right? You've chosen not to buy an upgraded LiveCycle Designer, and are instead remaking your Designer (XFA) form in Acrobat (Acroform)? If so, you need to know that the JavaScript model and language are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. You'd need to use getField to associate each field with a scripting variable.

Well that explains it. I used live cycle as part of acrobat 9 and now with acrobat 11 its not included.

So could you explain what the new script would look like.

I need it to look something like this;

Callsign: (Callsign value)

Type: (Type value)

etc

Am I able to have it that when I click on a radio button it populates that info into an empty text box? If so I don't know how to script it to display in the empty text box with the line descriptor i.e.  callsign: (then populate the value from the completed field).

I hope I have made sense.

For a field with the name "Callsign" use this.getField("Callsign").value
