copying text with atributes between textframes

Can I use the clipboard to transfer these attributes?
In JS in InDesign I select the object and use the commands: app.copy () / app.paste ().
How does this mechanism work in Acrobat?

It depends on what you call "attributes", but in any case JavaScript-PDF does not allow copy and paste. But of course it allows you to pass attributes from one field to another.

 

this.getField("A").value = this.getField("B").value;

I need copy texts like these: KNO2(aq) • KNO3(aq) • K2CrO4(aq) etc. (chemical formulas) with indexes upper and lower 😞

I know I can set text attributes, but I need to copy these chemical formulas exactly as they are.

I know I can set text attributes, but I need to copy these chemical formulas exactly as they are.
These are examination forms in which there are specific chemical formulas to be accurately "rewritten"

 

but thanks for the info

JS in Acrobat has no access to the clipboard. However, it can copy the contents of one field directly to another, as was mentioned before. If the fields have rich text formatting enable it can also copy those, but not all the properties. Try this code:

this.getField("A").richValue = this.getField("B").richValue;

OK, one more time:
ADOBE (Acrobat, Reader):
i.value = t15a3.value; - works, but without indexes
i.richValue = t15a3.richValue; - did not work
i.richText = t15a3.richText; - did not work
i.richValue = t3; - works very well, but t3 is a handwritten array

BROWSER:
i.value = t15a3.value; - works, but without indexes
i.richValue = t3; - is not working

 

I can't share my pdf 😞

OK, if it works in Acrobat and in Reader but not in the browser we can't help you. The fault is clearly with the PDF plugin of the browser. Report the issue to them.

OK

forget about the browser 🙂

and why don't work these commands:

i.richValue = t15a3.richValue;
i.richText = t15a3.richText;

the .richText command works when getting information from the table (t3), but not when getting information from the t15a3 field (t15a1-t15a6)

 

it would be well if I could solve this problem for the future

You need to first set the richText property, and then richValue, not the other way around.

But setting richText at all does not really have to be done, if the field is already set as having rich-text formatting. It's a one-time setting.

these pdfs will be used interchangeably in Adobe Reader and browsers.
scripts using .richText and .richValue do not work properly in browsers

 

should I use JS in HTML proper syntax?

Field("t15a3") has the code in operation onfocus = on

var t15a3 = this.getField("t15a3");
t15a3.richValue = true;

var t3 = new Array();
t3[0] = new Object();
t3[0].text = "K";

t3[1] = new Object();
t3[1].text = "2";
t3[1].subscript = true;

t3[2] = new Object();
t3[2].text = "CrO";

t3[3] = new Object();
t3[3].text = "4(aq)";
t3[3].subscript = true;


var k = this.getField("infoF");
if (k.value == "I: Najedź na właściwy wzór i kliknij myszą") {
var i = this.getField("t15_I");
i.value = t15a3.value;
//i.richText = true;
//i.richValue = t3; 
}
else if (k.value == "II: Najedź na właściwy wzór i kliknij myszą") {
var ii = this.getField("t15_II");
ii.value = t15a3.value;
//ii.richText = true;
//ii.richValue = t3; 
}
else if (k.value == "III: Najedź na właściwy wzór i kliknij myszą") {
var iii = this.getField("t15_III");
iii.value = t15a3.value;
//iii.richText = true;
//iii.richValue = t3; 
}

Field("t15_I") should read the contents of the field ("t15a3") with indexes. But not read.

I'm using this piece of code temporarily: i.richValue = t3;   and it works OK

Sorry, I don't follow... So it does work when you apply it to the richValue property? If so, then what's the problem?

Hmm, did you answer the question "Does you access the values with .value or .richValue ?" With "yes"? I think the posters was looking for you to say WHICH ONE you use, since only one of them can work.

i.value = t15a3.value;
in frame "t15a3" is chemical formula: K2CrO4(aq), but to frame "i" goes K2CrO2(aq) - without indexes
