Hi TRY67,

Thanks for your reply.

I have a travel template with to much fields, it´s confuse and not user friendly.

I need that the template built himselfes depending of traveller choices. I need for example a drop down box (for the first issue -» Traveller details) with numbers until 7 (those numbers will "tell" me how many colleagues will share the same travel) after choosing the travellers number the fields for all of them will display , what I need to know is how can I remove blank space for example between "Traveller Details" and the next issue "Travel Details" if the travaller choice is only 1? and if he choose to not rent a car, I don´t need all fields visible and taking all this space, but if Hide the fields there is a horrible blank space that I don´t know how to remove (or add if I choose several travellers or even rent a car), I hope that I explain you weel what I pretend.

I see what you mean, but this kind of dynamic form is not really possible in a PDF, unless:

- The entire form is composed out of fields, or

- The parts to show/hide are entire pages.

Either way, it will require quite a bit of scripting know-how, especially the first option.

Not only the parts you fill in, but also all the static text, graphic elements, etc., have to be form fields, so they can be moved, shown or hidden based on the previous selections.

Maybe "entire form" is a bit misleading. I meant the entire part of the form that should be dynamic.

Add the following function as a doc-level script and then call it from the MouseUp event of each one of the buttons:

 

function mouseUpInvestmentType() {
	var fields = ["Program","Major Operational", "Basic Operational", "Basic IT", "Major It"];
	for (var i in fields) {
		var f = this.getField(fields[i]);
		f.fillColor =  (event.target.name==fields[i] && color.equal(f.fillColor, color.ltGray)) ? color.red : color.ltGray;
	}
}

CintiaC_0-1613646359335.png

 

I added the function as a doc level script:

CintiaC_1-1613646434976.png

And call from mouse up event in each buttons:

 

CintiaC_2-1613646526400.pngCintiaC_3-1613646552410.png

What happen is that when I click on another field the selected field turn to grey but the other one don´t assume any action, so it only works for the first selection, if someone need to choose another option the button will not appear in red

The field names are not what you wrote. Make sure you spell them EXACTLY as they appear in your file.
