Pdf form script to clear a text field and copying value with same button.

[rakeshk21205956]

I want a single button in pdf form to perform the below task:

Copy the value of the first text field to second field and  then reset the first field without changing the value of second field to which the original value was copied.

I used the following script but it resets the both fields;

first field = Text1;

Second field = Text2;

script:

this.getField("Text2").value = this.getField("Text1").value;

resetForm(["Text1"]);

thanks

I also tried the below script :

function one()

{

this.getField("Text2").value = this.getField("Text1").value;

}

resetForm(["Text1"]);

but this also didnot worked.. it cleared both fields.

sorry for disturbing... finally i got it working. with below script :

document level script:

function one()

{this.getField("Text2").value = this.getField("Text1").value;

}

this script in button:

one();

resetForm(["Text1"]);

Your original script should have worked, too...

[rakeshk21205956]

No,

my original script cleared both the fields....

[try67]

Are those your actual field names?

[rakeshk21205956]

yes, why? they are actual field names

Text1, Text2............... Text25

Then it should have worked.

[rakeshk21205956]

no my original script didnot worked

this.getField("Text2").value = this.getField("Text1").value;

resetForm(["Text1"]);

The above script reset both the fields .... i wanted once the value was copied it should not reset,, but the above script reset both the fields

My requirement was :  I had two text fields  and one button . I wanted  the button to copy the value of first text field to second text field and reset the first field when the button is clicked.

below script didnot worked :

this.getField("Text2").value = this.getField("Text1").value;

resetForm(["Text1"]);

below script worked  :

document level script:

function one()

{this.getField("Text2").value = this.getField("Text1").value;

}

this script in button:

one();

resetForm(["Text1"]);

If you want to share it (like I did, using something like Dropbox, Google Drive, Adobe Cloud, etc.), I'm happy to take a look at why it's not working.
