Enable the input field when user clicks on check box

[former_member221372]

Hi All,

I am new to Adobe Forms and need help from you guys.

Gone through sdn links but couldn't find the required solution.

We are sending a PDF Form to bussiness via mail.

1. User opens the pdf & when they clicks on check box then input field should be editable.

2.If they clicks on submit without entering the input field, then it should through Error message.

How to achieve these 2 issues.

Kindly suggest.

Regards,

Bharat

Hi,

1. You can achieve this by writing the java script code at on change event of checkbox as below

//For making it disable .

if(condition){

TextField1.access = "readOnly" ;

TexField1.fillColor = "224,224,224"; //Gray color

}

else{

//for making it editable

TextField1.access = "open" ;

TexField1.fillColor = "255,255,255" ; //white color

}

Hi Jitendra,

Thanks...it's working.I did a mistake.Didn't fill FILLABALE = 'X'.

This is working for single input field, how to write for a table & How to populate ERROR message.

Hi Bharath,

to access any particular field or element first check the hierarchy (check the attach image)

ex: if i want to make Cell2 non editable, then code will be Node.Main.sfTab1.Table1.Row1.Cell2.access = "readOnly" ;

(case sensitive)

so to make table uneditable:

Node.Main.sfTab1.Table1.access = "readOnly" ;

2. Display Error message

at button click event, add code for pop-up message

if(TextField1.rawValue == null) {
var oDlg =
{ 
  description: 
  { 
  name: "dialog1", 
  elements: 
  [ 
  {
        type: "static_text",
        name: "Your Error Message",
   },
  { 
  type: "ok_cancel", 
  }, 
  ] 
  } 
};
app.execDialog(oDlg);
}
