Showing/Hiding Signatures Based on Ranges

[jonathanm75257324]

Hi - I'm struggling a bit with a simple field validation issue. Based off of one field (called "NUMBER") I would like the following to appear (and the rest to disappear if not applicable) within the following ranges:

• 0-499,999 would trigger "Field 1"
• 500,000-2,499,999 would trigger "Signature Block A"
• 2,500,000-5,000,000 would trigger "Signature Block B"
• 5,000,001+ would trigger "Field 2"

I can also post the custom Java script if that helps but I have no luck with this custom code as of yet.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Is this a Adobe Sign Form?

[jonathanm75257324]

No - should I convert it to an Adobe Sign Form?

[Bernd Alheit]

What does you mean with "Signature Blocks"? This exists only in Adobe Sign forms.

[jonathanm75257324]

I was still able to add a digital signature to an Acrobat Form, though I'm not familiar with the differences.

Once converted to an Adobe Sign Form, how can I go about this issue?

[Bernd Alheit]

For Adobe Sign forms use the forum for Adobe Sign.

[jonathanm75257324]

Well I would still like it to be a digital signature, and that does not seem to be what I am looking for.

In an adobe acrobat form, how would I do this making reference to the above field names?

[jonathanm75257324]

Any help would be greatly appreciated if the form were to stay in Acrobat Form (as opposed to a sign form)!

Yes, I don't think you need to use Adobe Sign to do it. It's perfectly feasible in a normal Acrobat form, and probably easier.

You can use this code to achieve it, as the custom validation script of the NUMBER field:

var v = Number(event.value);
this.getField("Field 1").display = (v>=0 && v<=499999) ? display.visible : display.hidden;
this.getField("Signature Block A").display = (v>=500000 && v<=2499999) ? display.visible : display.hidden;
this.getField("Signature Block B").display = (v>=2500000 && v<=5000000) ? display.visible : display.hidden;
this.getField("Field 2").display = (v>5000000) ? display.visible : display.hidden;

Thanks for the help, Try67. That still doesn't seem to be effective....

Also, Why does Number not have quotations on the first line?

[try67]

Check the JS Console for errors, then.

It doesn't have quotes because it's not a reference to the field, but a call to the constructor method of the Number object in JavaScript, which is basically converting the string value to a number value.

[jonathanm75257324]

The debugger says that Number is not defined. Any thoughts here?

[try67]

Did you change anything in the code?

[jonathanm75257324]

No but I do have a checkbox that show/hide the Number field (along with others). It now seems to break at the number field.

Debugger says it is null.

[try67]

There's no reference in the code to a field called "Number". If you didn't change anything and the field names are correct then it should work. I'll need to see the actual file to help you further.

[jonathanm75257324]

Thanks Try67! I got it to work! One last item - if the value of Number is null, I want nothing to show - how would I add that in?

[try67]

That's a bit trickier... Change the code to this:

if (event.value=="") {

     this.getField("Field 1").display = display.hidden;

     this.getField("Field 2").display = display.hidden;

     // etc.

} else {

     // put the original code here

}

Great, thanks for all the help!
