I have a stamp that I threw together that worked fine in Acrobat, but in Reader, the fields for the check boxes and for the Name do not get placed on the stamp from the JS dialogue. I am not sure why.
 
Here is the code:
 
if(event.source.forReal && (event.source.stampName == "#bsiloE85pqFs4ntcdBQCMC"))
{
if ("ok" == app.execDialog(DiaBox))
{
var cMsg = DiaBox.byName;
event.value = "Project # " + cMsg;
event.source.source.info.exhibit = cMsg;
 
cMsg = "By: " + DiaBox.projNum;
this.getField("byNameField").value = cMsg;

this.getField("cbx1").checkThisBox(0, DiaBox.bChk1);
this.getField("cbx2").checkThisBox(0, DiaBox.bChk2);
this.getField("cbx3").checkThisBox(0, DiaBox.bChk3);
this.getField("cbx4").checkThisBox(0, DiaBox.bChk4);
this.getField("cbx5").checkThisBox(0, DiaBox.bChk5);
}
}
 
So like I said, this is working as it should in Acrobat, but in Reader, the Check boxes and the "By :" field are not getting populated. Thank you in advance for nay guidance.

So I chucked out the second field, I can just get that from the document data anyways. SO now it is just the checkboxes. I even added them to their own if statement, so it looks like this:


if(event.source.forReal && (event.source.stampName == "#bsiloE85pqFs4ntcdBQCMC"))
{
if ("ok" == app.execDialog(DiaBox))
{
var cMsg = DiaBox.byName;
event.value = "Project # " + cMsg;
event.source.source.info.exhibit = cMsg;
}
if ("ok" == DiaBox.DoDialog())
{
this.getField("cbx1").checkThisBox(0, DiaBox.bChk1);
this.getField("cbx2").checkThisBox(0, DiaBox.bChk2);
this.getField("cbx3").checkThisBox(0, DiaBox.bChk3);
this.getField("cbx4").checkThisBox(0, DiaBox.bChk4);
this.getField("cbx5").checkThisBox(0, DiaBox.bChk5);
}
}

If run in Acrobat, the dialog pops up twice, which it should, and both end up on the document. In Reader, only once and the check box isn't applied to the document.
