So, I have a couple of Multi-Line text fields in Acrobat X Pro.
What I need is the field to jump to a desired field when it detects the enter key... The problem I'm faced with in a single-line text field is Adobe Acrobat jumping ahead of itself and executing the exit/blur cmd before completing the input of a long bar-code string. (32 characters, usually half gets inputted before acrobat loses focus based on the bar-code scanner's RETURN input that follows the inputted string, which are varying lengths). I am almost POSITIVE this is the reason it is happening.
I've tried every combination (charCode, commitKey, keyCode) within custom format script, keystroke script, validation script, and onBlue events. (none work).
Currently I have the following line inside custom keystroke..
if (event.charCode == 13)this.getField('nextFieldName').setFocus();
If anyone could help me, that would be much appreciated. I've had this problem for almost a year now and have only found little workarounds.
1. There's no such thing as event.charCode
2. Pressing enter in a form fields yields a line-feed, not a carriage-return.
Therefore, you should use this code:
if (event.change.charCodeAt(0) == 10) this.getField('nextFieldName').setFocus();
