Using Acrobat Action Wizard to auto-tab to next field

[GTR_Elise]

I’m trying to speed up the process of creating an interactive pdf form in Adobe Acrobat through Action Wizard using Javascript, as I use and change the forms many times a day. I’m struggling to make the auto tab work through Action Wizard – I have some fields that require only one number and I like it to automatically go to the next field once that number is entered. Example of some of the code I currently use in Action Wizard:

for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
  var fName = getNthFieldName(i);
  var f = getField(fName);
  var fTool = getNthFieldName(i).userName;

  if (fName == "C1”) {
  f.charLimit = 1;
  f.alignment = "center";
    f.setAction("Keystroke", "AFNumber_Keystroke\(0, 0, 0, 0, \"\", false\);");
  }
  if (fName =="C2”) {
  f.charLimit = 1;
  f.alignment = "center";
    f.setAction("Keystroke", "AFNumber_Keystroke\(0, 0, 0, 0, \"\", false\);");
  }

}

So I would like C1 to have some code that automatically goes to C2. Is there any way this is possible with just Action Wizard? Currently I’ve been doing it manual using:

function tab_next(next_field_name) {
    if (event.willCommit || AFMergeChange(event).length === event.target.charLimit) {
        getField(next_field_name).setFocus();
    }
}

And the Keystroke script:

tab_next(“C2”);

If anyone knows a way to do this, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You'd have to create a new document-level function that combines what the AFNumber_Keystroke routine accomplished as well as the tab_next routine, something like:

// Document-level function

function digOnlyKS_TabNext(next_field_name) {

    // Get all that is currently in the field

    var val = AFMergeChange(event);

    // Reject entry if anything but digits

    event.rc = AFExactMatch(/\d*/, val);

    if (event.rc && next_field_name) {

        if (event.willCommit || AFMergeChange(event).length === event.target.charLimit) { 

            getField(next_field_name).setFocus(); 

        }     

    }

}

You'd then like this in the keystroke event:

// Auto tab to C2

digOnlyKS_TabNext("C2");

and for the C2 field:

digOnlyKS_TabNext();
