Script check needed

[Stefanie1587]

Hi all,

I would like to have a check on the script for my checklist. It has 16 categories and for each category there are 4 options: 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 (for all the options the value is alike, so 0 =value 0, 1 =value 1, etc.)

at the bottom of each option there's a field: subtotal

 now I've added the following code to those fields: 

event.value=(this.getField("Top_0").value+this.getField("Vest_0").value +this.getField("Broek_0").value +this.getField("Panty_0").value +this.getField("Schoenen_0").value +this.getField("Haar_0").value +this.getField("Makeup_0").value +this.getField("Bril_0").value +this.getField("Oorbellen_0").value +this.getField("Ketting_0").value +this.getField("Sjaal_0").value +this.getField("Armbanden_0").value +this.getField("Ringen_0").value +this.getField("Nagellak_0").value +this.getField("Riem_0").value +this.getField("Tas_0").value)

event.value=(this.getField("Top_1").value+this.getField("Vest_1").value +this.getField("Broek_1").value +this.getField("Panty_1").value +this.getField("Schoenen_1").value +this.getField("Haar_1").value +this.getField("Makeup_1").value +this.getField("Bril_1").value +this.getField("Oorbellen_1").value +this.getField("Ketting_1").value +this.getField("Sjaal_1").value +this.getField("Armbanden_1").value +this.getField("Ringen_1").value +this.getField("Nagellak_1").value +this.getField("Riem_1").value +this.getField("Tas_1").value)

event.value=(this.getField("Top_2").value+this.getField("Vest_2").value +this.getField("Broek_2").value +this.getField("Panty_2").value +this.getField("Schoenen_2").value +this.getField("Haar_2").value +this.getField("Makeup_2").value +this.getField("Bril_2").value +this.getField("Oorbellen_2").value +this.getField("Ketting_2").value +this.getField("Sjaal_2").value +this.getField("Armbanden_2").value +this.getField("Ringen_2").value +this.getField("Nagellak_2").value +this.getField("Riem_2").value +this.getField("Tas_2").value)

event.value=(this.getField("Top_3").value+this.getField("Vest_3").value +this.getField("Broek_3").value +this.getField("Panty_3").value +this.getField("Schoenen_3").value +this.getField("Haar_3").value +this.getField("Makeup_3").value +this.getField("Bril_3").value +this.getField("Oorbellen_3").value +this.getField("Ketting_3").value +this.getField("Sjaal_3").value +this.getField("Armbanden_3").value +this.getField("Ringen_3").value +this.getField("Nagellak_3").value +this.getField("Riem_3").value +this.getField("Tas_3").value)

for the total field I used the (2nd) option: Value is the sum(+)

now when selecting the options, the total field is calculating the values correctly, only in the subtotalfields there's no value visible, so it looks like it isn't calculating. 

Can you help me with this? Is it something in the code?

I've noticed now that the file works when I open it in Chrome. But in Safari it doesn't work. Also on my phone it still does not work, but I don't know exactly which application it opens the file in. Is there a way to easily whitelist the document when opening in Safari? The checkbox to allow Java script was already ticked 🤷🏼‍:female_sign:

For questions about Safari contact the Apple support.

I've also checked with a friend who has only android devices. For her it gives the same problems. On her laptop the file is opened in Windows System Viewer. On her phone even the boxes with radiobuttons can't be ticked (I also have this problem when opening the file on my phone).

So it doesn't seem to be a Safari issue. Could there be  an option in Adobe that needs to be selected to make it work everywhere?

Hi,

Those applications are not controlled by Adobe, the PDF spec is an open standard that anyone can use to create a PDF view, if you are using form features in Acrobat, then the only way to make sure that those features work as expected is to view the PDF in Adobe Acrobat/Reader.

On phones even the adobe reader is limited in its form capabilities ( hopefully this will change).

But in Windows System Viewer this is created by Microsoft based on the spec, Safari is Apples take on it,

ok, so if I understand correctly, there's not much I can do to fix this and it is best to just inform the users of this form to open it on their pc / laptop in Adobe or Chrome?

Hi,

That is correct, only guide the users to use Adobe Acrobat/Reader. As chrome is built by Google, again there is no guarentee that it's PDF viewer supports the features you want.
