I'm trying to get the text from an input form, to show in a second PDF, but only the ones selected in the input form.
the user will export the data from the input form to a fdf file, and then import it in the second PFD file.
I'm using form fields, and in theory I know what it should do, I just need help putting it in javascript.
here's the idea:
var: finaltext;
if checkbox1=true -> add textfield1 to finaltext
if checkbox2=true -> add textfiels1 to finaltext
etc...
or something like:
var: i;
for each checkbox[1]{
if checkbox=true(
add textfield to finaltext;
i++)
It's just a little too advanced for me 🙂 could someone help me out?
I added a graph of what the final result should be.
Thanks
You can use something like the script shown below as a custome calulation script of the text field(s) where you want the text to show when a checkbox is checked:
if ((this.getField("Check Box 3").isBoxChecked(0)== true)) {
event.value = "third text: qui doluptatiam vel et pa aspitatem sollate moluptaquo coribus et, si";
} else {
event.value ="";
NOTE: For the type of workflow that you're trying to accomplish here I wouldn't recommend to use an getArray() method in order to grab all of the outp

NOTE: For the type of workflow that you're trying to accomplish here I wouldn't recommend to use an getArray() method in order to grab all of the output values from each selection into a single multi-line textfield.
You can dedicate a single text field to display the output text per checkbox. Since the output value are long text phrases you may run into paragraph and text formatting limitations.
Also, you can't expect nor treat the static content of a PDF to interact with JavaScript; you'll need to use text field objects, dropdown menus, etc.

You're missing a closing curly bracket at the end of the code...
