Setting custom messages to values

[davidl86029455]

Hello! I'm a graphic designer with not much coding experience. I'm designing a pdf form, but I'm trying have a field display a specific code, depending on a number value. Example: If the value is 0.8, I want the field to display 'Code 1A'. If the value is 0.95, I want the field to display 'Code 1B'. Any ideas?

Hi David

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described you want to have a field display a specific code, depending on a number value.

The workflow you are trying to achieve is possible using the JavaScript. For more information please check out the help page https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_developer_guide.pdf and see if that works for you.

As validation script of that field you can use this basic code:

if(event.value == 0.8)
event.value = "Code 1A";
else if(event.value == 0.95)
event.value = "Code 1B";

Do you mean the same field, or a different one?
