• How to use Javascript to populate a text field based on a selection in a drop-down list?

  Greetings,

  I have virtually no experience with JavaScript and I'm trying to find a way to add some functionality to basic Automation to a form of Adobe.  I have a drop down box called "Hospital_Name" which will contain about 7 possible selections.  When the user makes a selection, I would like to have the field of text (called "Hospital_Address") under the drop-down list fill with the corresponding address to the selection.  I have the "Hospital_Address" text field set up for multiple lines and want the address to have a line break between the address and the city/province/postal code.

  For example, if the user has selected "Hospital 1", the text field would display:

  123 main St

  Anytown, CA 12345

  Help or you can provide examples would be greatly appreciated.

• Populate a drop-down list based on selected in a drop-down list in a separate table

  Good day all.

  This may seem a simple question for most, but... He had me frustrated trying to figure out.

  I'm trying to fill in a drop-down list that is based on what is selected in another drop-down list.

  Let me explain what I've done so far.

  Life cycle of Designer 8.05.2

  When I got the two drop-down lists in the same table, I've not had a problem. The code I used is

  The table name is "table1".

  if (directorate.rawValue == '1')

  {

  division.clearItems ();

  division.addItem ("select" "")

  }

  I was asked to move things and now 'division' is located in 'Table2 '.

  I know that I need the "Table1" reference, but I'm running into a syntax error. I tried the following code;

  if (Table1 Row1 directorate.rawValue == '1')

  {

  division.clearItems ();

  division.addItem ("make a choice")

  }

  if (Table1.Row1.directorate.rawValue == '1')

  {

  division.clearItems ();

  division.addItem ("make a choice")

  }

  Any help would be appreciated

  You are missing a semicolon at the end of the line, addItem, and the second code example, you have no periods in the SOM (Table1 Row1 direction) reference.

  The best way to get the path to another field is to ctrl-click on the ground while you are in the script editor.

• Defining form fields such as required based on the entry in the drop-down list

  I'm trying to set the properties of a few form fields as required in the case of a specific value is selected from a drop-down list.

  I entered the code of the tab actions from the drop-down list properties below > mouse down > run a java script. The problem is that it works only if I come out and enter again the drop-down list. "I tried to invoke the code with"Mouse down","Mouse entry", out of the mouse ' none of them worked unless I go out and again the drop-down list.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  var devused is this.getField ("device");.

  var comptype is this.getField ("Type of complaint");.

  var proname = this.getField ("product name");

  var feels = this.getField ("sent to the sponsor");

  If (comptype.value == 'Associated Product complaint') {}

  devused. Required = true;

  proname. Required = true;

  smells. Required = true;

  }

  else {}

  devused. Required = false;

  proname. Required = false;

  smells. Required = false;

  }

  What you describe is the way documented in what forms Acrobat and Acrobat JS behave by Form Event Processing

  For your described form, we can use a custom format for the field drop-down list script:

  If (event.willCommit! = true & event.changeEx! = "")
  {
  var devused = this.getField ("device");
  var proname = this.getField ("product name");
  Envoy of var = this.getField ("sent to the sponsor");
  Switch (Event.changeEx)
  {
  case "related product": complaint
  devused. Required = true;
  proname. Required = true;
  smells. Required = true;
  break; Go at the end of the switch;
  Repeat fdor each value of the option in the drop-down list.
  by default:
  If no match for the above cases, it is found;
  devused. Required = false;
  proname. Required = false;
  smells. Required = false;
  break;
  } / / end of switch event.changeEx;
  } / / end not true willCommit;

  You must set the ' Commit selected value immediately "and as one moves upwards or downwards the options, the related fields will change and stay together when you exit the field note that the field name is not used in the script because the field is the event object until it leaves the field.

• Filling of a numeric field by selecting from a drop-down list

  Hello all;

  I went through the 38 pages on the form now to try to understand it myself. I must have missed something or this day becomes medium long.

  I am filling a numeric field that is based on what is selected in a drop-down list box.

  For the test, I use only 2 fields

  DropDownList1 and digital Field1

  I If (DropDownList1.rawValue == 1) { }

  NumericField1.rawValue = 25;

  }

  On the other;

  (DropDownList1.rawValue == 2) { }

  NumericField1.rawValue = 35;

  }

  That worked. I am now getting the error "missing; before the statement

  "6:xfa: form1 [0]: #subform [0]: DropDownList [0]: output"

  Specify the value of points is checked in the tab links for DropDownList1.

  I said this with a single selection, who worked

  if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 1) { }

  NumericField1.rawValue = 25;

  }

  Thank you all

  Chomp

  If it's a copy/paste of your script, you have a semicolon after the "else" and "else" should be lowercase.

  And for nested IFS, you need an "else if", so:

  If (DropDownList1.rawValue == 1) {}

  NumericField1.rawValue = 25;

  }

  Else if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 2) {}

  NumericField1.rawValue = 35;

  }

  ElseIf...

  If you have a lot of statements, you might want to look at using a statement that may be easier to read.

  {Switch (DropDownList1.RawValue)}

  case '1 ':

  NumericField1.rawValue = 25;

  break;

  case '2 ':

  NumericField1.rawValue = 35;

  break;

  etc.

• Select from the drop-down list and populate a list in another menu drop down

  I have a drop down list with 10 items in the list. If possible, would like for a selection in the drop-down list to populate a drop-down list with another list of selections. Each of the 10 points in the first list each will have a list of different options in the second drop-down list. I don't know how to build this solution.

  Thank you

  Hello

  It was because of the clear rawValue script that I put in the output from the drop-down list event businessFunction.

  I fixed it:

  // clear the current selection in the department dropdown
  dept0.rawValue = null;
  dept0.execEvent("exit");

• Change the border color of text field based on a value from the drop-down list

  I have a dropdown menu with 4 choices of priority for maintenance.  With a javascript script, I need to be able to select a 'priority' in a list box and a text box border then color with an appropriate color.

  'High priority' with an export value of 0

  "Medium priority" with a value of exports of 1

  'Low priority' of an export value of 2

  "When the time allowed" with a value of exports of 3

  When one of these selections has been filed, a text box becomes available in order to write the gap. My goal is as follows.

  When "High priority" is selected, the border of the text box where you write the gap would blush.

  When "Moderately urgent" is checked, the border around the text box where you write the gap would turn yellow.

  When "Low Priority" is checked, the border of the text box where you write the gap would become green.

  When "when she allows" is checked, the border around the text box where you write the gap would have turned blue.

  Otherwise, the border would be white.

  This form will be used ultimately on an iPad using Expert PDF under the player.     I use Acrobat X to create the form.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Yes, I accidentally left a hug. I can fix it so it won't be a problem if someone tries to use it. Happy that you guessed it work.

  To handle resetting, you can use a script to validate drop-down list:

  If (event.value = "" "") {}

  getField("discrepancy_1").strokeColor = color.white;

  }

• Automatically populate a drop-down list by using another selection from the drop-down list box

  New java/preparation forms so I apologize in advance.

  I currently have a menu drop-down box 1 (Occupation) with three options: "enter your own description/blank", retired housewife. When someone chooses either retirement or anyone at home, I would another drop box 2 (employer) to assign automatically "n/a. . The employer drop box has only two options: "enter your own/blank", N/A.

  Far, I could for that box to fill but only when the person clicks in the box (as if they were about to enter their own text.) Then only it will fill the drop-down list "employer." I would like it auto fill once the person has chosen retired, Virgin or stay-at-home woman without having to enter in the box (just using the arrow to the size of the drop-down list box).

  I currently have a key shot that resets the employer box when a person chooses the option vacuum/enter your own option. I then a JavaScript (only for the housewife now) that only works if you click the box of. Key combination works I want to than the other options work as well. If the client settles on white, the choice of the employer updates automatically empty without having to click in the box of. Any help (including general advice to make my code cleaner) is very appreciated!

  Current script of typing:

  If {(event.willCommit)

  If (event.value == "") this.resetForm (["use"]); of other SetFieldValues (event.value);

  }

  The current upward, mice running JavaScript :

  var v = this.getField ("Occupation") .value

  If (v is "Housewife")

  1. this.getField("Employer").value = "N/a".

  I think maybe I should use event.willCommit in my formula, but I'm not sure how to include it.

  Thank you!

  I would not use the key sequence or MouseUp actions for this, but the action post.

  Just make sure that you set the field option to validate the selected value immediately (under Properties - Options) and then use this code as the custom validation script:

  var employerField = this.getField("Employer");
  if (event.value=="Homemaker" || event.value=="Retired")
      employerField.value = "N/A";
  else employerField.value = employerField.defaultValue;
  

• Selection in the drop-down list box determines the text to display in another box - ideas?

  Hello, my name is Zac.  I spent a lot of time trying to figure this one out for myself, but I couldn't find what I needed.  A few threads looked promising, but I realized that they only apply to the LiveCycle.  Many other threads link to discussion 2006 Thom Parker on this subject, but it is very advanced and I feel that what I need is not as complex as the solution he proposes.  I've never used Adobe Acrobat until a few weeks ago, but with the help of Bernd Alheit and George Johnson I managed to create a document with fly-out help windows and scrolling lists and radio buttons which dictate the choice.  It's great and it works.  The last thing I have to do is to create a text box (or some kind of box) which will display a pre-written block of text based on the user choice in another area (a drop-down list box).  Like this:

  

  I wish, it is also easy to create because it draw a picture of him!  If the user selects "Algebra 1", for example, a specific description display below.  There are a lot of courses and descriptions, and the descriptions are long enough (as shown).  It is not necessary for the user to make changes to the description - in fact, which would be terrible.  But I would like to be able to copy text from it and paste the text in another area of text on the same page.

  Thank you very much, all those who have ideas please share them! Again wild guesses. I learn from all this.

  This involves using a script. If you want to write the code yourself read this tutorial:

  I figured out how to make it work. I just had to add parentheses in the right places to make it work. Here's what I did:

• selection in the drop-down list makes the visible field

  I have two drop down fields, select from the first drop down field provides a list of the items contained in the second drop-down list. When an item in the second drop-down list is selected, I want a hidden field to become visible.

  I don't know how to write the script on the second menu drop-down to make the visible area. Here is the script that I have, which does not work:

  If (this.rawValue == 'ACD');

  {

  agentID.presence = 'visible';

  }

  If (this.rawValue is 'Agent');

  {

  agentID.presence = 'hidden';

  }

  Thank you

  HI Margaret,.

  Here is the corrected form https://acrobat.com/#d=D3yZytcriTw0pMp4S232Wg.

  You had semi colon after the if statement (which was throw). Also, I've shortened the reference to the agentID object:

  if (this.rawValue == "ACD") {
      agentID.presence = "visible";
  }
  else if (this.rawValue == "Agents") {
      agentID.presence = "hidden";
  }

• Text formatting on SegmentedControl and inside the drop-down list

  Hello

  I'm trying to change the color of the text on the buttons of a SegmentedControl and part of a drop-down list.

  I don't want to change the skin, but only the text. With the drop down menu, I managed to change the upper part (just what you see when the drop down menu is closed) using

  myDropDown.button.setTextFormatForState(myUpColor, SkinStates.UP);
  

  etc, but with the elements inside the list and buttons SegmentedControl I can't find a property that lets me set the text format...

  Any ideas?

  It doesn't seem to be an easy way to do.

  The only way would be to extend the SegmentedControl and then override the following method with the following code. It should do the trick. We will work on making that it puts far more easily in the future.

  override protected function onButtonAdded(child : RadioButton) : void
          {
              var dpLength : int = __dataProvider.length;
              child.width = Math.round( width / dpLength );
              // change this to be percentages
              child.groupname = __groupName;
              //Set your formats to whatever you like here.
                          child.setTextFormatForState( ThemeGlobals.getTextFormat( ThemeGlobals.SEGMENTED_CONTROL_FORMAT_DISABLED ), SkinStates.DISABLED );
              child.setTextFormatForState( ThemeGlobals.getTextFormat( ThemeGlobals.SEGMENTED_CONTROL_FORMAT_OUT ), SkinStates.UP );
              child.setTextFormatForState( ThemeGlobals.getTextFormat( ThemeGlobals.SEGMENTED_CONTROL_FORMAT_DOWN ), SkinStates.DOWN );
              child.setTextFormatForState( ThemeGlobals.getTextFormat( ThemeGlobals.SEGMENTED_CONTROL_FORMAT_SELECTED ), SkinStates.SELECTED );
              child.setTextFormatForState( ThemeGlobals.getTextFormat( ThemeGlobals.SEGMENTED_CONTROL_FORMAT_SELECTED_DISABLED ), SkinStates.DISABLED_SELECTED );
              child.drawNow();

• Show drop-down list field hide selection in another drop-down list box

  Hello I need to create two drop-down fields on a dynamic PDF in LiveCycle. The first field contains three choices. When a user selects an item in the drop-down list first I would like to a new field of drop-down list has been shown. For each item in the first drop-down list appears a new field drop-down list with unique values. If the user chooses blue drop-down list of blue shades indicate in this menu drop-down will be various shades of blue to choose for. If the Red is chosen, Shades of Red dropdown with appearance and if yellow is displayed the same occurs. Also if the user must go back and change their selection in the first drop-down list, they can do the same. Any suggestions?

  Thank you in advance.

  There are 2 ways you could do this. The first is just to have the 3 drop-down lists for the second box to separate and do them all hidden. The output of the first dropdown event would then have the code that would make it the second box become visible, something like (in formcalc):

  If ($ == 1) then

  dropdownRed.presence = "visible".

  dropdownBlue.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownYellow.presence = "hidden".

  ElseIf ($ == 2) then

  dropdownRed.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownBlue.presence = "visible".

  dropdownYellow.presence = "hidden".

  ElseIf ($ == 3) then

  dropdownRed.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownBlue.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownYellow.presence = "visible".

  endif

  The other option is just to have a dropdown that dynamically changes its options based on the results of the first box. So in the second box preOpen event you might have something like (in formcalc):

  If (dropdown1 == 1) then

  $. clearItems()

  $.setItems ("light red, dark red")

  ElseIf (dropdown1 == 2) then

  $. clearItems()

  $.setItems ("sky blue, dark blue")

  ElseIf (dropdown1 == 3) then

  $. clearItems()

  $.setItems ("light yellow, dark yellow")

  endif
