Deleting Spawned Pages

[Gary55]

Hi all

I am working on a form in Acrobat. It is a training form with Competent/Not Yet Competent (C/NYC). The form will auto select C/NYC depending on the checkbox selections. If they are Not Yet Competent then two pages will spawn for the reassessment component. These forms  are hidden at the start.

For Competent the script will delete the last two pages. As these pages are hidden at the start and iff the person is assessed as Competent at the start the calculate script runs but stops at the deletepages part of the script and won't proceed.

Is there a way for this delete script to take into account the pages may or may not be there. The script I'm using is as follows:

if (this.getField("Check Box1").value == "Yes"

    && this.getField("Check Box2").value == "Yes"

    && this.getField("Check Box3").value == "Yes"

    && this.getField("Check Box4").value == "Yes"

    && this.getField("Check Box5").value == "Yes"

    && this.getField("Check Box6").value == "Yes"

    && this.getField("Check Box7").value == "Yes" ) {

    this.getField("ResultCB").value = "Yes";

    this.deletePages({nStart: 5, nEnd: 6 });

    }

Any assistance is appreciated.

You can check the number of pages in the file before deleting them. If the number is less than 7, don't proceed.

try

How would I do that? I am not well versed in Javascript.

Add this to the if condition:

if (this.numPages>=7 && ...

Where would I place that in the script provided? If I place it at the start then line 8 of the script won't occur if >=7. Is that correct?

Yes, add it before:

this.deletePages({nStart: 5, nEnd: 6 });

Like this:

if (this.numPages>=7) this.deletePages({nStart: 5, nEnd: 6 });

Worked a treat. Thank you.
