Activate 15 Checkup-Boxes with one button ?

What do you mean by "activate", exactly? Are you asking about check boxes? Are you using Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer?

Hi George,
sorry for my incorrect description.

Yes, I'm asking about check boxes; after pressing one button all the check boxes (15) should be marked.

I'm using Acrobat Pro for the Mac.

Kind Regards

Yes, you can do that with JavaScript. To programmatically select a check box, you need to set the field value to whatever you've specified as the Export value for the check box. For example:

getField("Check1").value = "Yes";
Replace "Yes" with the export value you are using, and "Check1" with the field name you're using. Repeat this statement for the other check boxes.

Note that to uncheck a check box, you need to set the field value to the string "Off", but not "off", false, 0, or anything else.

If you've used a naming scheme such as "Check1", "Check2", ... "Check15", you can use a loop"


assuming they all have the same export value.

Note that you can also use the checkThisBox field method, but it was introduced to address a specific circumstance that is somewhat unusual.
