JavaScript for Form Field: If-Then Actions
Acrobat Professional 8 for Macintosh OS X Leopard, latest version
*****
I'm not a JavaScripter or any kind of scripter. I can do if-then formulas in MS Excel, but that doesn't help me with Acrobat form fields!
The simple representation below is for illustration. "RD" indicates a radio button; all of the RDs are mutually exclusive (don't need help with that).
I need a JavaScript to enter into the Text Field Properties in, I believe, the "Custom calculation script" box. For Field A, the script would say something like "If Option A is checked, enter $XXX; if Option A is cleared, clear this field." I need similar scripts for the other fields, of course.
Maybe that's not really the script I need. Here's what I do need: a result that when the form's user clicks the radio button for any option, the only field that will contain a number will be the one that corresponds to the radio button that's checked.
RD Option A $[field A] RD Option B $[field B] RD Option C $[field C]
I know this is simple, but Acrobat's built-in Help documentation is spectacularly unhelpful in this area. It refers the reader to PDF guides (on Adobe.com) that are frustratingly complex for someone like me.
I would greatly any help you Acrobat experts could give.
Thank you,
Debi
